Betty has been amazing and incredibly helpful in my therapy journey. I am noticing positive changes within myself and Betty has been a big part of this for me. She listens to me and helps me see/approach challenges in ways I may not have known how to navigate otherwise. I feel validated in how im feeling and I’m learning how to change the way I think. I’ve enjoyed the “homework” or “food for thought” that she gives me at the end of each session.

Common Challenges I Help With
💬 Difficulty Setting Boundaries
You want to say no sometimes, but guilt or fear of disappointing others stops you.
→ Together, we build healthy boundaries that protect your energy while still honoring the relationships and values that matter to you.
☺️ People Pleasing & Guilt
You put everyone else’s needs first and feel guilty prioritizing your own wellbeing.
→ I help you reconnect with your needs and values so you can care for others without abandoning yourself.
🏡 Family Expectations & Pressure
You love your family deeply, but the responsibility and expectations can feel overwhelming.
→ Therapy gives you a safe space to untangle family roles, reduce guilt, and learn how to show up for others without losing yourself.
Loneliness and Isolation
Even when surrounded by people, many Latinas feel disconnected.
→ I help Latinas build deeper connections first with themselves, then with others, so they no longer have to carry it all alone.
💔 Relationship Challenges
From conflict and communication issues to emotional shutdowns, relationships can be complex.
→ I help you show up more honestly and skillfully with partners, family, and friends.
😫Anger, Trauma, or Grief
Old pain often shows up as anger, disconnection, or numbness.
→ Together, we’ll work through what’s been held inside so you can begin to feel more free, grounded, and alive.
About
Betty Lopez, LPC
If you’re here, it probably means you’ve been holding a lot for a long time. On the outside, you look "fine." You show up for work, for family, for everyone, but inside, you're tired of always being the responsible one who keeps it together.
Hi, I’m Betty Lopez, LPC. I'm a first-gen Mexican-American therapist who helps Latinas who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, burnout, family expectations, and the pressure of living in two cultures.
Together, we untangle the noise in your head, calm your nervous system, and build real-life boundaries that actually work in a Latino family.
My style is warm, straightforward, and very real. I'll celebrate your wins, call out the lies anxiety tells you, and help you feel safer and more in control of your life, not just during sessions, but in the middle of your actual week.
You were never meant to carry all of this alone. You're already doing so much. Therapy is just the place where you finally get to put some of it down.
GOT QUESTIONS?
I've got answers
That’s completely okay. Many people start without knowing what to expect. My job is to guide you through the process, help you feel comfortable, and move at a pace that feels right for you.
Yes. I offer secure, confidential online therapy so you can meet from the comfort of your own space — no commute, no hassle. Many clients find this just as effective as meeting in person.
Yes. Everything you share in therapy is kept private and confidential. The only exceptions are rare situations required by law — such as if there’s a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if a child, elder, or dependent adult is being abused. I’ll always explain these limits clearly so you understand exactly how your information is protected.
It depends on what you’re working through and what you hope to get out of therapy. Some people come for a few months to work on a specific issue, while others stay longer for deeper, ongoing work. We’ll check in regularly to make sure therapy is helping you move toward the change you want.
Yes! I speak English and Spanish! My parents are Mexican, so my Spanish comes from how they raised me. It's not perfect, but neither is my English.
