Orange, California therapist: Dr. Cristal Lopez, psychologist
Child or Adolescent Issues

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!

Long Beach, California therapist: Holly Hall, LMFT, marriage and family therapist
Child or Adolescent Issues

Holly Hall, LMFT

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Adolescence is a critical developmental period marked by identity formation, increasing independence, and complex emotional growth. My work recognizes that teenagers exist within family systems and broader social contexts that profoundly influence their well-being. I believe effective treatment must address not only the individual adolescent's thoughts and behaviors, but also the family patterns and relationships that shape their experiences. I provide a safe place where children and adolescence feel comfortable to connect

Anaheim is home to Disneyland and the tourism infrastructure surrounding it, creating an unusual occupational landscape — a large hospitality workforce experiencing the psychological pressures of service work, seasonal employment, and the gap between the 'happiest place on earth' and the economic realities many workers face. The city has a large Latino population concentrated in the flatlands west of the resort district, and bilingual Spanish-English therapists play an important access role for families where cultural and language barriers limit engagement with mainstream mental health services. CHOC Children's and Kaiser Permanente serve institutional mental health needs in the area, alongside a private practice community serving the newer residential areas. Anaheim's significant Vietnamese and Korean communities in its northeastern neighborhoods also drive demand for multilingual and culturally affirming therapists.
