"The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are" (Jung). As a bilingual (Spanish/English) and bi-cultural Jungian Psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, I help people to consciously reconnect with their inner life in order to heal themselves. While damage to such connection usually creates a variety of psychological difficulties, reverence to the inner wisdom is a contemplative stance of active listening to the interior music that heals and that connect us with the immensity of our inner life. The inner life has an intelligence that corrects and compensates the psychological imbalances that have created emotional challenges.

I work with people who want to deeply understand themselves, create more meaningful connections with others, and learn new ways of coping with pain and life's challenges. Many people seek therapy because they are dealing with depression, anxiety, PTSD and the effects of trauma, and relationship challenges. But often, those are broad terms for more subtle issues—dissatisfaction, stuckness, loneliness, feeling lost, or experiencing difficult feelings about oneself or others. Whatever your specific concern, therapy can promote growth, change, and more freedom in your life.

People often come to see me after realizing that something has shifted: life isn't as meaningful as it had once been, jobs or relationships aren't as fulfilling, or with a general sense that things could be better. Sometimes this can be tied back to a specific event, either in the recent past or long ago in childhood. Other times the cause of the suffering is inexplicable.

As a TGNC queer-identified clinician, I value social justice and the diverse experiences that each client brings into the therapeutic endeavor.

With compassion and vulnerability, I center an integrated and trauma-informed approach to therapy.

I support long-term couples struggling with conflict and disconnection who may feel unsure how to solve their challenges or rekindle their loving dynamic. I help couples improve communication skills, identify and express underlying vulnerable emotions, and ultimately deepen their intimacy and romantic connection. I also support folks with dysfunctional family and/or religious histories, who are interested in alternative healing approaches. This may entail witnessing the pain and patterns of the past, and then potentially reclaiming and reimagining their relationship with spirituality.

As your therapist, one of my priorities is to walk alongside you as you grow into the most integrated version of yourself, embracing your autonomy and strengths. It can be difficult to balance your sense of internal safety and the external commotion of the world. A sense of disillusionment occurs when our external wants do not meet our internal needs. I focus on your concept of Self as it relates to emotional disturbance, fragmentation of the self, maladaptive thinking patterns, and dissociation. My aim is to work with you to embrace and overcome challenges endured throughout the lifespan and to help you find alignment within.

We’re born with innate needs to grow, connect, and find purpose. Our lives shapes how we go about getting these needs met. If we're successful in this, we often feel content and fulfilled. However, sometimes life intervenes in ways that prevent us from successfully getting these needs met and leaves us stuck and suffering. Often, we need help from a supportive professional to help us focus productively on our problems, ease our immediate distress with direction solutions, and help us develop the insights and skills needed for long term growth and fulfillment. I'll work closely with you to help you achieve your specific goals.

At the heart of my perspective is the idea that as a therapist I have a special kind of role and potential for influence on people's lives. At the same time, I am participating as a fellow human being with an array of emotions and personal tendencies not unlike those of the people who come to me for help. And indeed, as is common of people in the field, and even as is required in formal analytic training, I’ve been a patient myself (hopefully yielding enhanced self-awareness). So I know what it’s like from both sides.

Psychotherapy and psychoanalysis are two well-established forms of talk therapy; they have been used for well over one-hundred years. These therapies help people explore their inner thoughts and feelings in the privacy of a professional relationship. These private conversations are different from talking with a friend or family member; they are confidential, nonjudgmental, and personal.

Therapy comes from the ancient Greek word “psyche” and “therapeia”. Pscyhe means soul, Therapeia means healing. To engage in psychotherapy, is to engage with soul healing. Symptoms such as low mood, sadness, incessant worrying, broken relationships, feeling stuck, are some indications of the loss of soul. Symptoms lead one to go inwards, to the depth of healing. The experience of darkness, in whatever form it may take, has a goal and a purpose which is Wholeness. I offer companionship and vessel in this inner journey.

Hey there! I’m Heather Lopez — Licensed Clinical Social Worker/ Licensed therapist, Postpartum Support Specialist, & Mom who's probably reheating her coffee for the third time as we speak. Becoming a mom changed everything: my sleep schedule, my wardrobe, my tolerance for loud plastic toys — and most importantly, my perspective on what real support looks like during the postpartum period. I help moms who feel overwhelmed, anxious, or like they've somehow lost themselves in the diaper aisle at Target (emotionally, not literally (emotionally, not literally — though I’ve been there too). I’ve got you!

Many people struggle to understand their behaviors and find it challenging to change them. This difficulty often stems from the fact that much of our personality is shaped during early childhood, leading to deeply ingrained patterns that are hard to alter. Therefore, gaining insight into how childhood experiences influence our personalities is crucial for increasing self-awareness and transforming these patterns. We are looking for clients interested in inner child healing and gaining insight into the patterns that affect their relationships. We work with couples, individuals, and children.
