Angelica Lopez is a Licensed Master Social Worker whose work focuses on supporting adolescents, young adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, identity, grief, life transitions, and complex family dynamics. Her approach is warm, collaborative, person-centered, and strengths-based. She believes in meeting people where they are, offering an invitation to feel seen and heard, explore vulnerable parts of themselves, and develop a deeper relationship with self.

Angelica earned her Master of Social Work with a concentration in Clinical Practice from New Mexico Highlands University and completed her undergraduate social work education at St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas. Before becoming a therapist, she worked in college access and education with rural Northern New Mexico youth and families, many of whom were first-generation college students. Her background in advocacy and education continues to shape her commitment to culturally responsive care, empowerment, and increasing access to meaningful support.

Angelica is particularly passionate about working with children and adolescents, LGBTQIA+ individuals, parents and caregivers, and people entering therapy for the first time. Her graduate study of ambiguous grief shaped her interest in the many ways grief and loss can show up, including experiences related to caregiving, disability, serious illness, incarceration, and changing family roles. She incorporates elements of ACT, DBT, parts work, somatic approaches, narrative therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care based on each person’s individual needs.

Born and raised in Albuquerque, Angelica returned to New Mexico after completing her undergraduate education in Austin and has called Española home since 2020. Outside of work, she enjoys reading, movies, following the WNBA, traveling, puzzles, spending time in nature, and caring for her collection of individually named plants.
