Bernice Lopez

Empathy-driven, dedicated, and bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 4+ years of experience in direct patient care serving as a community mental health provider providing trauma-informed care and client-centered therapy.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and empowering. I believe that each person brings their own strengths, experiences, and resilience into the therapeutic space. My role is to walk alongside you as we explore the challenges you may be facing and identify tools that support healing and personal growth. I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you feel safe to be open and honest. Together, we will work toward building insight, strengthening coping skills, and helping you move toward the life you want to live.

During our first session, my goal is to create a comfortable and welcoming space where you can begin to share your story at your own pace. We will spend time getting to know each other, discussing what has brought you to therapy, and exploring the challenges or goals you would like to focus on. I may ask questions to better understand your experiences, your strengths, and the support systems in your life. Together, we will begin identifying areas you would like to work on and discuss how therapy can support your growth and well-being.
