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!

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.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Life can change dramatically and suddenly from an injury or chronic illness. Your pain might be invisible to others who don't understand what you're going through or why your participation in activities has changed. Some days it takes heroic courage and determination just to do ordinary things. Working with an experienced therapist can be a game changer in finding ways to reclaim as much or your life as possible. Some suffering and loss is unavoidable. But there are strategies that minimize pain and reduce the secondary consequences that shrink your life. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that are most effective in freeing you from unnecessary suffering and helping you get back to the happy, interactive activities that are meaningful to you.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Timothy Weymann
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.)
Living with chronic illness or chronic pain can affect every part of life—your body, mood, identity, relationships, and sense of control. I specialize in helping clients adjust to these ongoing challenges using evidence-based approaches that support both emotional resilience and practical coping. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we work to identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that can intensify suffering, while building skills to manage stress, pacing, and daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps create space for difficult physical sensations and emotions, while reconnecting you with your values and what gives your life meaning—even in the presence of pain. I also incorporate EMDR to process medical trauma, diagnostic experiences, or other distressing events that may be compounding your adjustment. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and grounded in research. Together, we focus on reducing suffering, strengthening resilience, and helping you build a life that feels meaningful and empowered—no matter what your body is facing.
