Welcome!! You might be feeling disconnected from your family, friends, children, job, or even the world. I'm Dr. Cristal Lopez a licensed psychologist, and I believe that we all have powerful strengths. Together, we'll explore yours to help you unlock your full potential, connect authentically with others, and show up as your true self.
I’m currently practicing at Hopeful Healing Psych & Consulting Services, Inc. and Children's Hospital Los Angeles. My training at top U.S. children's hospitals, including Children's Hospital Los Angeles, California Pacific Medical Center, Texas Children’s Hospital, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, has provided me with over 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young and mid-life adults, and families.
For my younger clients, I use behavioral and play therapy techniques, while also supporting parents and families to foster healthy connections. With adolescents and adults, I draw on strength-based, humanistic, and relational principles to guide our work together. Together, we'll delve beyond surface-level symptoms to unearth the root causes of your distress, empowering you to cultivate resilience and thrive in every aspect of your life.
Beyond traditional mental health concerns, I have specialized expertise and published work in the following areas: coping with chronic illnesses (for individuals and family members), career-related issues (burnout, work-life balance), trauma and adverse childhood experiences, and stress related to first-responder families.
Join me on a journey of self-discovery and growth, where together, we'll unlock your true potential and pave the way towards a life filled with purpose, joy, and profound well-being.
