Yesennia Lopez

Hi there I’m Yesennia (she/her/ella), a first-generation Latina and bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW #129311) based in California. I have been in the field for over 10 years. I work with teens, adults, and families who are navigating through crisis, depression, anxiety, trauma, identity struggles, life transitions, and systems that weren’t built with us in mind. I earned my Master in Social Work at the University of Southern California (Fight On!) and my undergrad in Sociology at Cal State Northridge.

I know what it’s like to carry the weight of generational expectations, to hustle through burnout, and to wonder if you’re ever doing enough. As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can be your full self — unfiltered, unpacked, and unapologetically real. My approach blends trauma-informed care, psychodynamic, solution-focused work, and culturally responsive therapy.

I believe healing isn’t linear — but growth is possible when you feel seen, supported, and understood. If you're looking for a therapist who gets the nuance of code-switching, overachiever exhaustion, or breaking cycles as the “first” in your family — you're in the right place. Together we will set goals that are specific to you and can help you tackle the issues that brought you here.
