CBT Therapy With Alex Lopez
Hi! I’m Alexandra—your partner in healing, and growth.
When I was little, I used to say I wanted to be a “Feelings Doctor.” I didn’t know exactly what that meant, but I knew I wanted to help people feel better—emotionally and mentally. I started college at 16 and initially pursued pre-med, but I quickly realized that the clinical world wasn’t where I felt most at home. What truly called to me was connecting with people, understanding their stories, and helping them heal from the inside out.
I grew up in one of the poorest areas of Colombia, and those early experiences taught me the power of resilience, community, and hope. I saw how vital emotional support is when life gets hard—and that’s what led me to psychology. It gave me the tools to do what I’ve always wanted: walk alongside others as they navigate life’s challenges and rediscover their strength.
As a licensed mental health counselor, I specialize in helping people manage anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, insomnia, and more. I’m trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and I work with children, teens, and adults. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just not like yourself, I’m here to help you find clarity, confidence, and calm.
Outside of therapy, I’m a runner (yes, I run for fun!), a guitar enthusiast, and a sci-fi lover—currently reading Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler. I love dancing with friends, cooking while video chatting with my family back home, and traveling whenever I can. These moments of connection—whether across a kitchen or across continents—remind me of the joy and strength we find in togetherness.
I speak both English and Spanish fluently, and I’m passionate about creating a safe, inclusive space where you can be fully yourself. Healing isn’t always easy—but you don’t have to do it alone. I’d be honored to walk this path with you.
