Valerie Lopez, Clinical Director, LCSW

My name is Valerie Lopez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. As a therapist in San Antonio, I am dedicated to helping individuals and families that may be in need of assistance with achieving short and long-term goals. My passion is to help guide clients through the stressful experiences they are facing.
I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Psychology and Master’s in Social Work from The University of Texas at San Antonio with an emphasis on cultural competence. I specialize in working with clients that may be struggling with generalized anxiety, adjustment issues, depression, or simply feeling “stuck.”
I believe in empowering you, the client, so you are able to work through your identified goal in a safe environment that can be provided for you.
I use a client-centered approach with a humanistic perspective. I recognize that each person, family, the client is unique, and I adjust to find the best approach that fits your needs. I believe in the importance of building a strong therapeutic alliance. We will work together toward healthy resolutions.
