About
My goal is to always provide an empathic and emotionally safe place to discuss impactful life events. I always want to understand and honor the person I am working with in order to understand their experience and to support them with their own journey towards healing, change and growth.
Mr. Lopez specializes in trauma and has been certified in ARC (Attachment, Self-Regulation & Competency) since 2013. Including ARC, which is an evidence-based framework for therapy using a trauma-informed perspective, Mr. Lopez has extensive training and experience in trauma-informed therapy practice. He helps clients work through and process complex trauma experiences that may have occurred recently or in their past, supporting each person throughout the discussion of memories and issues at their own pace. He also works with individuals that may be experiencing trauma vicariously. Many service providers are affected by vicarious trauma and they too can benefit from processing their experience, including emotional responses.
