About

Welcome! I’m Dr. Michelle Lopez, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with specialized training in treating anxiety and related concerns, and advanced training in evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). I help those who struggle with excessive worry, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts/OCD, trauma/PTSD, social anxiety, phobias, and the stress of major life changes. My approach combines evidence-based interventions and genuine care and respect for each person’s unique experience. For the past decade, I have served as Associate Director at the Center for Stress and Anxiety Management in San Diego. I help clients face anxiety with confidence, while cultivating resilience, self-compassion, and meaningful connections. Additionally, my years teaching psychology as an Associate Professor deepened my expertise and passion for mentoring.
