Sasha Y Lopez, MA LMFT
My Practice
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) specializing in trauma with a subspecialty in sexual abuse, working with victims and sexually-abusive youth. I help people with issues such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, sexual addictions, sexual dysfunctions, and ADHD. Additionally, I am well versed in many women's issues, including postpartum depression, brief psychosis, and fetal demise. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused -Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Art and Play therapy, among other techniques.
Treatment Focus
I am very direct in my approach to therapy. Rather than tell you what to do, I am here to help guide you through your struggles and provide you with the tools to reach your goals. Once we establish a rapport and trust and I know more about how you operate as an individual, I will give you homework. I determine the best interventions and theoretical orientation for you to succeed, then present it to you to see if you agree it is a good fit. The goals are developed together as you do the work. I like to use both play and art therapy for children and adults alike because it is important to connect to the creative and artistic sides in each of us
“Most of my clients would tell you that I will make you work in your sessions; I won’t allow you to escape and waste your time.”
I promise to be there for you every step of your journey. My goal is to help you grow from your struggles, heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in your life.
