Kayzim Suárez-Reyes
Psychologist, PhD
I provide specialized developmental assessment services for children and adolescents to gain a clear, comprehensive understanding of their cognitive, emotional, social, and academic functioning. Utilizing standardized, evidence-based tools, I evaluate a range of developmental areas, with particular proficiency in conducting diagnostic and developmental testing for ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). My reports go beyond mere scores; they offer actionable, personalized recommendations for parents, schools, and treatment providers. My goal is to pinpoint the strengths and needs of the child or adolescent to ensure they receive the precise support necessary for optimal development and success.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Children and adolescents often express what they’re struggling with through behavior rather than words. I work with young clients and their families to understand the emotional and relational dynamics underlying these behaviors. Therapy focuses on improving communication, emotional understanding, and creating a more supportive environment at home.

Allie Michie, MS
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT159347
Teens are navigating a lot, school, friendships, relationships, family, identity, and a felt pressure to have it all figured out before they even know who they are. I work with teens in a space that's honest, warm, and completely judgment-free. No agenda, just genuine curiosity about who they are and where they want to go.

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!
