David Sudyka
Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, MA
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!

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.

Chronic Pain or Illness
Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
Chronic pain or illness leaves us feeling drained and devoid of energy. Being sick and tired works on the mind and body like a downward spiral from which it feels like there is no escape. You can learn to co-exist with pain and illness; to keep on living life even with compromises, and to manage the pain psychologically, with ease. It is possible to begin enjoying activities that you used to, again. It is possible to keep on going!
10 Years Experience
Online in Huntington Beach, CA California (Online Only)
Huntington Beach — 'Surf City USA' — cultivates a strong outdoor and athletic identity that creates particular mental health dynamics around body image, performance anxiety, and the psychological costs of a lifestyle culture that prizes youth and physical capability. The city's predominantly White, affluent coastal character contrasts with pockets of economic precarity and a substance use landscape connected to its beach culture and proximity to the broader Orange County recovery community. Hoag Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a well-established private therapy community serving Huntington Beach and the surrounding South Orange County coastal corridor. The city's proximity to both Los Angeles and the Orange County recovery ecosystem means therapists here frequently work at the intersection of addiction, identity, and the particular stresses of competitive coastal California life.
