Samantha Lopez, LMFT
Licensed Marriage Family Therapist, Supervisor

Hi! My name is Samantha and I am the creator of The Therapy Innovation. When I am not working, I enjoy traveling and…well, sitting on my couch! But we will call it spending time at home. I do like cooking and trying new recipes. This year, some of my first time recipes included mango creme brulee, pozole verde, and a ridiculously detailed charcuterie board for a friend's birthday! My husband and I have five children, four of them are grown adults over the age of twenty-five and one, age thirteen! Many people call her the “oops” baby, but in fact, it took us six years to get pregnant with her. Her siblings call her the golden child because we are able to do more with her than when the other four were young. My husband and I have traveled with her to Indonesia, Australia, China, and all over Mexico and the United States. When the first four kids were little, it was a huge deal to find an extra twenty dollars in my pocket and treat them to pizza on a Friday night! Oh well, what can you do

Clinical Experience

I enjoy working with children, teens and adolescents. I was a teacher for seventeen years and found that I generally get along well with youth, which helps with the therapeutic process.  I also work well with autism spectrum as my husband and I were a home for adults on the spectrum,  I work with couples and I am trained in the Gottman method of therapy which is an evidence based model. I also have experience in ADHD and anxiety and depression. These are just a few of my strengths!
