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!

Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
I have specialized expertise in the psychological components of chronic pain, recognizing that persistent pain involves complex interactions between the body and mind. I work with clients to move beyond the biomedical model by employing evidence-based strategies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Chronic Pain and acceptance-based approaches. My focus is on reducing pain-related distress, managing the associated symptoms like insomnia and depression, and decreasing the fear-avoidance cycle. By understanding the brain's role in pain perception, I help clients build resilience, increase their daily functioning, and improve their overall quality of life, even while living with pain. I also live with chronic pain (nerve pain) and know how challenging it is to manage the psychological aspects of it!

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!

At MindOverHealing, hypnotherapy is used to help clients manage their chronic illness and pain, promoting holistic healing and improved quality of life.

Long Beach is home to one of the largest Cambodian-American communities in the world — concentrated in the Cambodian Cultural District near Anaheim Street — creating significant demand for therapists with expertise in intergenerational trauma, refugee experience, and the psychological legacy of the Khmer Rouge genocide. The city also has large Latino and Black populations, a growing young professional community, and one of the busiest commercial ports in North America, with maritime and logistics workers forming part of its occupational therapy clientele. MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center and the Long Beach VA Medical Center provide institutional mental health resources, with a private practice community serving Belmont Shore, Bixby Knolls, and the East Side. Long Beach's diverse, working-class identity gives its therapy community a distinct character compared to its wealthier South Bay neighbors.
