Healing

We believe healing happens in relationship — with ourselves, our bodies, and with someone who can truly witness us without judgment or agenda.

My name is Stephanie Lopez, and I’m a trauma-informed psychotherapist offering a gentle, body-based path toward healing, grounded in presence, trust, and compassion.

My work is rooted in Somatic Experiencing, a powerful approach that helps the nervous system slowly unwind the effects of trauma — not by reliving it, but by listening to what the body is still holding. I also integrate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) for processing overwhelming memories and restoring a sense of internal safety and clarity.

From a Humanistic perspective, I honor each client as a whole, capable, and evolving human being — not a diagnosis or a list of symptoms. Our work together is collaborative, not directive. You lead. I walk alongside.

I’m also deeply influenced by Positive Psychology, which reminds us to look for what is already working — the inner strengths, values, and small moments of aliveness that can guide us forward, even in the darkest seasons.

Individuals often come to me feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, or burdened by stories they’ve carried alone for too long. My role is to create a space where those stories can be held with gentleness, curiosity, and deep respect — and where a new story, one rooted in resilience and truth, can begin to emerge.

If you’re curious about working together, I invite you to reach out. Healing doesn’t have to happen all at once — it begins with one grounded step.
