Getting to know Sasha Lopez
Becoming a therapist was my first choice, a passion I discovered during my sophomore year as an undergrad. Of course, it was not my first major, as I thought I would attend medical school. However, due to a car accident, I had to take a break from classes with laboratory courses, which led me to psychology. The best methods to pique anyone's interest are, in my opinion, abnormal psychology and personality psychology; they started my passion for learning more. After earning my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, I applied for my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialty in Latino Family Studies. At my first internship, my mentor placed me on my trajectory of working with children with trauma. Eighteen years later, I am passionate about learning everything I can and doing as much research as mental health evolves its approach to treatment. Being one who loves learning, this is a perfect fit for me, as you can never know everything in mental health treatment.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) specializing in trauma with a subspecialty in sexual abuse, working with victims and sexually-abusive youth. I help people with anxiety, depression, PTSD, sexual addictions, sexual dysfunctions, and ADHD. Additionally, I am well-versed in many women's issues, including postpartum depression, brief psychosis, and fetal demise. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused -Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Art and Play therapy, among other techniques.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I am very direct in my approach to therapy. Rather than tell you what to do, I am here to help guide you through your struggles and provide you with the tools to reach your goals. Once we establish a rapport and trust and I know more about how you operate as an individual, I will give you homework. I determine the best interventions and theoretical orientation for you to succeed, then present it to you to see if you agree it is a good fit. The goals are developed together as you do the work. I like to use both play and art therapy for children and adults alike because it is important to connect to the creative and artistic sides in each of us.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
