Hello, and thank you for visiting! My name is Emily Lopez, and I’m a counselor with 10 years of experience working in public education. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals who are navigating a variety of challenges, including trauma, anxiety, emotional crises, and difficult behaviors. If you’re someone who’s ready to dive into the root causes of your emotions or behaviors, or if you find yourself struggling with emotional regulation, I am here to help.

 

I specialize in trauma-informed care and work closely with individuals managing emotional crises or behavioral challenges. I also have extensive experience helping those dealing with difficult or disruptive behaviors, whether they are linked to emotional regulation, trauma, or other underlying issues. I draw from a combination of counseling approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. These approaches allow me to tailor my support to your individual needs and empower you to take meaningful steps toward healing and growth.

 

I believe that all behaviors communicate something important, and my goal is to help uncover and address the root causes of those behaviors in a compassionate and supportive way. In addition, I am currently working on becoming a Registered Play Therapist.

 

I am deeply committed to providing a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can feel heard and empowered. Whether you’re facing trauma, behavioral challenges, or just looking for a space to explore your thoughts and emotions, I’m here to guide you on your journey. I also welcome parents, caregivers, and individuals interested in understanding and addressing challenging behaviors thoughtfully and without judgment.

 

If you’re ready to take the next step toward healing and growth, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d be honored to be part of your journey.
