Lupe (Lupita) Lopez, LPC-Associate

Supervised by Dr. Desiree’ L. Stephens, LPC-S, NCC, TLHL LMHC, Certified-CCPT

Hi, I'm Lupe but I also go by Lupita! I know starting therapy can feel a little intimidating, so my goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, supported, and able to go at your own pace. We'll take time to get to know each other, explore what's been on your mind, and figure out together what feels most important to focus on.

My interest in becoming a therapist began during college when a professor sparked my curiosity about human behavior and personal growth. I was inspired by the way the professor helped people make sense of their experiences, and it made me want to learn more. My own experience in therapy later reinforced the value of having a safe, nonjudgmental place to reflect and grow. Today, I am passionate about helping clients gain insight, build confidence, and navigate life's ups and downs.

I enjoy working with teens and adults who are trying to make sense of their experiences, better understand themselves, and navigate life's challenges. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in patterns they would like to change. I am particularly passionate about helping individuals build confidence, develop coping skills, and navigate life transitions with greater clarity and self-awareness.

First-Generation/Cultural Identity Concerns

I enjoy supporting first-generation individuals who are navigating identity, family expectations, and the process of defining their own path. Together, we explore how cultural and family experiences shape current beliefs and patterns, while building a stronger sense of self and direction.

Life Transitions

I walk alongside clients as they navigate major life changes such as relationships, career shifts, parenthood, or periods of uncertainty. We work together to create clarity, stability, and confidence during times of change.

Self-esteem and Self-discovery

I work with individuals who struggle with self-doubt, comparison, or feeling “not enough.” My approach focuses on building self-awareness, challenging unhelpful patterns, and cultivating a steady and compassionate sense of self.

Anxiety and Emotional Overwhelm

I work with individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck in overthinking, or struggle with managing stress and emotions. We focus on understanding triggers and developing practical coping strategies to feel more grounded and in control.

Trauma-Informed Approach and Coping Skills

I use a trauma-informed approach that prioritizes safety, pacing, and emotional awareness. Depending on each client’s needs, this may include grounding techniques, breathwork, progressive muscle relaxation, and other body-based strategies to support regulation and help clients feel more present in daily life.
