Jamie Lopez Psychotherapy Services

As a licensed psychologist, I, Dr. Jamie Lopez, am dedicated to helping individuals cope with the demands and stresses of daily life, preparing them for a more enjoyable and satisfying future. With a strong background in counseling psychology and a specialization in the treatment of eating disorders, anxiety, and workplace concerns, I am committed to providing a supportive and non-judgmental environment for my clients.

About My Practice

My clinical work is based on an integrative approach, drawing from Ego State Therapy and Positive Psychology theories. Ego State Therapy focuses on the different roles we play or the different parts of ourselves, aiming to bring awareness and cooperation between these parts. Positive Psychology is a strength-based approach that focuses on building resources and increasing optimal functioning to aid in symptom reduction. I help individuals achieve their goals through talk therapy, stress reduction techniques, hypnosis, and neurofeedback.

Therapy Process

Therapy is a process by which an individual can learn to cope with uncomfortable emotions, make specific behavioral changes, and increase self-understanding. Therapy is built on a relationship with your psychologist, which helps to foster change. As a professional, I will use my best knowledge and skills to help you. The goals of therapy include symptom relief, positive coping, behavior change, self-understanding, and enhancement of rewarding interpersonal relationships.

Length of Treatment

The length of treatment typically depends on the complexity of the issues, the amount of time one is able to devote to treatment, and the motivation for change. I believe in brief therapy and have found that many individuals can make significant changes in 8-12 sessions. For those struggling with longer-standing, more complex issues, I am available to work with individuals on a longer-term basis.

Your First Visit

Please download the service agreement form and the client information form and bring these with you to your first appointment. We will review your concerns, discuss treatment options, and make goals for treatment. If other services are better suited to your needs, I will make treatment recommendations at that time.

Eating Disorders

My specialization in the treatment of eating disorders began during my work as a college counselor, where I encountered many young individuals struggling with eating concerns. I began my intensive work and training while working for the Indiana University Hospital System at The Charis Center for Eating Disorders. From there, I transitioned to the San Jose Bay Area and continued working with eating disorders in an intensive outpatient treatment setting. With my extensive experience in the field, I have developed a unique understanding of the complexities of eating disorders and trauma and the importance of individual strengths.
