Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Living with chronic pain or illness can affect not only the body, but also identity, relationships, and emotional well-being. I work with individuals to process the frustration, loss, and uncertainty that often come with ongoing conditions, while also exploring how these experiences shape daily life and connection to others. Therapy focuses on building resilience, increasing emotional awareness, and finding ways to live more fully alongside these challenges.

Living with chronic pain or illness can be exhausting, both physically and emotionally. It often impacts your mood, energy, and ability to keep up with everyday life. In therapy we will create space to process what you are going through while also building tools to manage stress, adjust to limitations, and find a sense of balance. The goal is to help you feel more supported and better able to cope with the ongoing challenges you face.

Chronic Pain or Illness
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!

Chronic Pain or Illness
Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I wonder if you notice any difference in your body right now, at this very moment. Can you sit with it a second longer? Perhaps, there is a small part of your body that is not feeling as strained, knotted, tingly, throbbing, or numb as it was before you made this decision to read therapist's profiles?
Through an attachment somatic therapy approach, we'll pendulate from identifying and enjoying these small to large wonderful exhales of relief from pain with intentional befriending and curiosity towards pain in a welcoming of all parts of you to be recognized, heard, and validated in a journey towards the freedom to live an engaged life of presence with yourself, your dreams, your responsibilities, and your relationships.
