Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in La Mesa, CA

Welcome! I am committed to providing anti-racist, gender-affirming, respectful care. If you’re looking for a safe and inclusive space to explore your abilities and navigate the obstacles present in your life, I’d be honored to collaborate with you.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and a Master's degree in Social Work. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), with extensive experience in both community settings and private practice. I specialize in supporting women through the unique challenges they face in life. I offer a compassionate, empathetic approach to help women navigate anxiety, depression, struggles with identity, and the journey toward recognizing their self-worth.

Hello, I am excited to meet you and start the wild adventure that therapy can be. I have experience working with people of many ages from shy teenagers, to spicy adults in their 70s. I have worked with individuals, as well as couples and families. The majority of my experience was learned at a trauma recovery center. I gained skills for addressing PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, as well as exploring concepts of self, identifying other forms of trauma such as religious trauma, shame, and recognizing ways for experiencing empowerment. As a bi-sexual therapist who has lived overseas, was raised in a conservative religious house hold, I believe that I have a unique way of sitting with people in the complexities of cultural differences, trauma, faith, spirituality and sexuality.

My name is Rika Matoba Lopez and I am an LMFT/CSAT and currently being trained in EMDR. My passion is working with sex/porn/love addicts and couples dealing with betrayal trauma. I strive to break the silence that many church leaders /members face when dealing with sexually compulsive behaviors.

As a therapist, it is my passion to support women navigating challenges related to different life stages. I provide a compassionate, safe space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to explore their emotional and physical well being.
