Specializing in EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic Therapy & KAP

I’m Ana Lopez, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW 108137) offering trauma-informed therapy for high-achieving, ambitious women across Los Angeles, the Bay Area, and throughout California.

Many of my clients are successful on the outside—leaders, caregivers, creatives, founders, or women carrying multiple roles—yet privately struggling with anxiety, panic, trauma, burnout, or relationship patterns that feel hard to break.

If you’ve spent years being the strong one, the responsible one, or the one everyone turns to, therapy with me is a space where you get to exhale

Who I Help

I specialize in working with women in Los Angeles and Silicon Valley/SF Bay Area who identify as:

• High achievers who are exhausted from holding everything together

• Perfectionists navigating anxiety, panic, or burnout

• Leaders who feel overwhelmed internally but steady on the outside

• Adults carrying childhood trauma or a history of emotional neglect

• Women stuck in cycles of people-pleasing or over-functioning

• Survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, or relational trauma

You may be successful, capable, and deeply responsible—yet unable to shut off the internal pressure. You might feel anxious even when nothing is “wrong.” You might be so used to coping alone that asking for help feels foreign.

You’re not broken. You’re adapting. And those adaptations make sense.

Therapy Approaches for High-Functioning Women

My work integrates evidence-based and somatic modalities that help high-functioning women feel grounded, connected, and safe in their own bodies again.

I offer:

• EMDR-informed therapy to process trauma at your pace

• Brainspotting (BSP) for deep, somatic trauma release

• Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) in a trauma informed framework

• Somatic therapy to support nervous system regulation

• Mindfulness-based therapy to ease chronic stress and overwhelm

• Attachment-focused therapy to shift long-standing relational patterns

• Parts work (IFS-informed) to understand inner conflicts with compassion

These approaches help clients reduce anxiety, release stored trauma, build healthier boundaries, and feel emotionally steady without losing the drive and ambition that helped them succeed.

My Style

I’m warm, calm, direct, and deeply supportive.
I don’t rush people.
I don’t pressure you to “open up” before you feel safe.
I move at the pace of your nervous system—not the pace of your responsibilities.

Therapy with me is a grounded space where the strong, high-achieving woman finally gets to rest.
