Samer Fawaz
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT #149147
The entertainment industry is a particularly challenging business to navigate and thrive in. The intense competitiveness and the premium placed on notoriety, fame and money contribute to feelings of depression, anxiety and low self-worth. In my previous career, I worked as an agent and subsequently an agency owner. This experience has given me the insight to deeply understand the constant pressure we put on ourselves to be “successful” for the sake of external validation and financial gain despite our mental well-being. I know what it’s like to achieve a version of “success” that was supposed to make me happy but, in fact, left me miserable and purposeless. If you find that you are getting in the way of your own growth because of the intensity and ruthlessness of the entertainment industry, we can work to identify what is at play and help you find the right path for you. Together we will redefine your definition of success and how that can be implemented to take your career to the next level.

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!

Whole Wellness Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Acroding to research studies, the average person in the united states spends one third of their life time at work. So when we're asked in our younger years what we want to be when we grow up, it's the same as asking "What do you want to devote one third of your enire life span to?" That's a big question. One that often changes. Change is normal, and necessary. Yet, changing careers has a huge negative stigma around it in our society. Whole Wellness Therapy is passionate about promoting career-life balance, and idealy, helping our clients into careers that fit into their lifestyle, instead of the other way around.

Santa Monica combines proximity to the entertainment industry with a strong wellness culture, creating demand for therapists who specialize in performance anxiety, the pressures of creative and entertainment careers, identity, and the particular stresses of living adjacent to fame and public scrutiny. The area's affluent demographic and beach lifestyle coexist with significant rates of anxiety, eating concerns, and relationship distress, and the Westside has a notably high density of experienced therapists relative to its size. Providence Saint John's Health Center and UCLA Health provide institutional mental health anchors for the Westside community. Many Santa Monica therapists also serve clients from Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and the broader Westside corridor.
