Noemi Lopez, MA, LPCC

You are the expert on you. I am a therapist who specializes in working with couples and individuals aged 12+. Throughout life, people face numerous transitions, some of which lead to feeling being stuck, confused, or lost. Whether the challenge involves a change in relationship, transition to a new stage of life, acute or complex trauma, experience of grief or loss, or any other personal challenge, I can work with you to navigate the tangled complexities and find your way forward.

I identify as Latina- a woman of color in a country that is facing the effects of systemic racism. As a therapist, my lived experiences have informed my extensive work with BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ clients and underscored the necessity for culturally-competent counseling. I use my background in dance and theatre to bring mindfulness and mind-body methodologies in my sessions. This may look like using art, movement, writing, and creative expression as therapeutic tools when appropriate. I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and find it is helpful for those with histories of trauma.

Many facets contribute to our identities, and clarifying a personal sense of self is an essential step towards personal empowerment. I cannot decide who you are, but I can guide you towards resources and give you tools to handle roadblocks. I take a collaborative approach to the journey of therapy; I help my clients identify and define what they want to work on, figure out the roadmap to reach their goals, and outfit them with the tools to travel. Untangling and clarifying significant experiences, values, beliefs, and strengths is a large part of my work. I’ll meet you where you are at, and will use your own self-knowledge as a guide in our work.
