Getting to know Christopher Lopa

Hi there, I'm Christopher! Aloha, my name is Christopher Lopa. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor in Hawaii. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Hawaii. My approach My therapeutic approach is client-centered. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help my clients experience growth and gain coping skills that will serve them. My focus I find immense fulfillment in working with adolescent clients, particularly those aged 13-19, who are navigating challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. My comfort lies in creating a supportive and empathetic space for them to explore and address these issues. Witnessing their resilience and growth during this critical stage of development is incredibly rewarding, and I am passionate about helping them build the skills and resilience needed for a brighter future. My communication style Overall, clients can expect a supportive and collaborative space that encourages growth, self-discovery, and the pursuit of their personal goals. My journey to mental healthcare What drew me to a career as a therapist is the joy I experience from helping individuals equip themselves with the tools and skills necessary to navigate life's challenges and experience growth. My goals for you My approach centers around collaboration, empowering clients to drive the direction of their own therapeutic journey. Together, we work toward tailored solutions that resonate with their individual needs and aspirations. My first session with you During our first session, my primary focus is on creating a safe and welcoming space for you to share your experiences. I'll actively listen to understand what has brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve.
