Dr. Cristal Lopez
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Welcome! You might be feeling disconnected from your family, friends, children, job, or even the world. I'm Dr. Cristal Lopez, and I believe that we all have powerful strengths. Together, we will explore yours to help you unlock your full potential, connect authentically with others, and show up as your true self. My training at top U.S. children's hospitals, including Children's Hospital Los Angeles, California Pacific Medical Center, Texas Children’s Hospital, and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, has provided me with over 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents, young and mid-life adults, and families.
For my younger clients, I use behavioral and play therapy techniques, while also supporting parents and families to foster healthy connections. With adolescents and adults, I draw on strength-based, humanistic, and relational principles to guide our work together.
Beyond traditional mental health concerns, I specialize and publish work in: coping with chronic illnesses, career-related issues (burnout, work-life balance), trauma, adverse childhood experiences, and stress related to first-responder families. I’m committed to guiding you, your child, or family to a more connected and fulfilling life. Invest in yourself!

Dr. M at Insight Thoughts Psychotherapy Services (ITPS) Inc
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPCC
When anxiety, low mood, or past experiences begin to shape how you think, relate, and move through the world, it can start to feel like you are living on edge. In my practice, I help people slow that internal noise, understand where it comes from, and learn how to respond with more clarity and choice. My work is focused on giving you tools and insight that support real change, so your emotions no longer run your life and you can move forward with more stability and direction.

Veronica Holmes
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Online therapy has been shown to be an effective form of therapy. While in-person therapy is more ideal, issues such as scheduling, traffic, and other constraints prevent in-person sessions from being a viable option.
The first session may feel a bit awkward. However, my clients find that once they get started, the virtual sessions don't get in the way of their treatment. I offer sessions on a secure network with therapists in mind. I work to be sure my client's feel as comfortable as possible virtually by reminding them to create a comfortable space for themselves, maybe having a box of tissues, etc. Therapy can be done in a closet, while parked in a car, or sitting at a park as long as there aren't distractions. Virtual sessions are a way to get your needs met without the usual obstacles.

I offer secure, HIPAA compliant, professional online counseling to help get you to where you want to be without any unnecessary obstacles.
Top 5 Benefits of Online Counseling:
1. Convenience of saving you time. No more battling traffic and long distance drives with a busy schedule.

3. Anonymity of not being seen by people. No more worrying about what others might think.
4. Saves you money on gas to and from a destination on a weekly basis.
5. Allows for counseling sessions with remotely located loved ones who may be overseas or across the country.

Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
Clients who reside locally most often schedule in-person sessions. Other local clients can elect to blend in person and remote hypnotherapy sessions using Zoom. Clients who reside out of the immediate area or in another State will have all of their sessions using Zoom. To accommodate the online process, I use a HIPAA compliant version of Zoom to protect your privacy and confidentiality. If you are not familiar with Zoom, note that it is a free download that works splendidly with a cell phone, tablet, or laptop. Once you download Zoom, and before your first session, we will connect and practice a bit at no cost to you. My goal is to make the remote process both easy and comfortable for you. My online hypnotherapy services are identical in content to those I conduct in person. In that I pride myself as being an educator charged with teaching you a lifelong skillset, you will need to be able to receive and print email attachments. Lastly, especially for those who reside out of the area, payment is by way of PayPal.
