Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Your career plays a significant role in your overall well-being, identity, and sense of purpose. When work becomes overwhelming, unfulfilling, or uncertain, it can contribute to stress, anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, and difficulty maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Whether you're considering a career change, navigating workplace conflict, recovering from burnout, or feeling stuck in your professional life, therapy can help you gain clarity and move forward with confidence.
At Holding Space Therapy, together, we'll explore your values, strengths, goals, and the patterns that may be impacting your professional growth and satisfaction. We work to identify barriers such as perfectionism, imposter syndrome, fear of failure, people-pleasing, anxiety, or unresolved experiences that may influence your confidence and decision-making. Using evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, strengths-based interventions, and trauma-informed care, you'll develop practical tools to manage workplace stress, improve communication, establish healthy boundaries, navigate difficult transitions, and make decisions that align with your personal and professional goals.
We have extensive experience supporting professionals in high-stress careers, including first responders, healthcare workers, and individuals in leadership or helping professions who often carry significant emotional demands. Whether you're seeking greater balance, preparing for a new opportunity, or rediscovering purpose in your work, therapy provides a supportive space to explore your options and build a career that aligns with the life you want to create. A fulfilling career isn't just about professional success—it's about creating a life that supports your mental health, values, relationships, and overall well-being.

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!

Throughout my time counseling men, I have encountered a large proportion of men unclear about where to go with their jobs and careers.

I have helped countless clients find the path that is right for them by helping them understand themselves better as well as help them navigate the job application space. Let's find the right fit for you!
