About Me
Joel Lopez, LMFT
I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 13 years of experience working with individuals, and families. The majority of my work has been with adolescents and families overcoming daily struggles, life transitions, and trauma.
I graduated from San Diego State University in 2008 with a Master’s degree in Counseling, emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy.
I help individuals dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, behavioral issues, life stage transitions, and other debilitating situations.
I work with the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer (LGBTQ) community to address identity and other related issues.
Care for yourself… and make an appointment with me today.

Exploring the option of Therapy..?
Is therapy for you, you ask? For many people, therapy or as others would call it counseling can be of great benefit to you, to a loved one, or to both.
Sometimes we ask if therapy is a long-time process and for many it is not.
The type of Therapy/ Counseling services I provide are to assist you in overcoming a struggle, a trauma, a problem from various settings or something you particularly are having trouble with. The focus is not to have you explore every minute of your life but to focus on your strengths, your thoughts, feelings, and the dynamics each brings to a healthier you. The purpose is to have impactful and meaningful relationships. If your journey to having a meaningful relationship with yourself is your priority then we most definitely begin there.
The therapeutic services are provided within structured guidelines and consistent participation while working on the goals you set.
If this sounds like something you are looking for, then please, take the time, and care for yourself.
Still Unsure?
To determine if therapy may be for you we can schedule a free 10-15 minute phone consultation and no obligation if you decide not to continue.
Therapeutic Services
My range of abilities include using evidence-based practices to be able to provide focused treatment
and positive outcomes.
My work is client-centered, which attempts to shape the therapeutic process to the needs of the client.
I am attentive to cultural sensitivity while helping clients affected by one or various types of oppression.
I incorporate solution-focused techniques, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and family systems techniques.
Through the practice of talk therapy, I guide clients to overcome issues affecting their everyday living.

Additional Focus
LGBTQ and Allies
My work with the LGBTQ community expands to many areas such as youth-at-risk, those questioning, coming-out-process, understanding labels, and exploring the lifestyle you want to create.
There are Allies and there are others wanting to support a loved one but may not be sure how to approach it.
Social media and politics have taken great strides these past few years in working with and joining with the LGBTQ community however there are still many barriers to conquer. Many of the barriers are faced in the home, within the family setting, and years of stigma are oh so present.
I am passionate about helping individuals on the LGBTQ continuum to achieve their wholeness by overcoming inappropriate shame, negative thinking, self-destructive patterns, and unfulfilling relationships.
Other areas of work include HIV/AIDS, gender identity, and intersections of cultural/racial/ethnic identity.
I am here to help you reclaim your unique potential of being ‘you’.
