Orange, California therapist: Dr. Cristal Lopez, psychologist
Serving LGBTQ+

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!

Santa Barbara, California therapist: Jamie Fortin, marriage and family therapist
Serving LGBTQ+

Jamie Fortin

Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
I believe that meaningful change happens in the context of a genuine, attuned relationship. Therapy is not about fixing what is “wrong,” but about deepening understanding, expanding awareness, and creating space for something new to emerge. My approach is grounded in depth psychology, relational therapy, and experiential work. Together, we explore not only the challenges that bring you in, but also the underlying patterns, emotions, and unconscious dynamics that shape your life. I work collaboratively, with curiosity and respect, to help you develop a stronger connection to yourself and to others. I also integrate Animal-Assisted Therapy when appropriate, partnering with my therapy dog, Sophie. Her presence can help create a calming, supportive environment and often allows for connection and insight in ways that feel more natural and less pressured. I have a particular interest in working with individuals navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, anxiety, and the desire for deeper self-understanding. Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply sensing that something in your life wants to shift, therapy can be a place to slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and intention. Beginning therapy can feel like a big step. My role is to meet you where you are, offering a steady, compassionate presence as we make sense of your experience together.
