Dr. Louise "Luisa" R. Lopez is a bilingual licensed psychologist, in the state of Florida, who enjoys collaborating with individuals in the process of facilitating personal and professional growth. She has a passion to see individuals flourish and maximize their successes, utilizing identified strengths as well as evaluated experiences, in their respective environments.
Dr. Lopez believes that individuals are resourceful and creative and are equipped with personal strengths and resources that can foster a more healthy and fruitful personal and professional life. Humans are very complex and capable of far more than we give ourselves credit for. We’re all on a path of discovering what it is we really and truly want. Life is a journey with varying paths to take and forks in the road to face. Coming to a crossroads and choosing the continued path can elicit great excitement in anticipation of what is to come or it can elicit a block of stagnation not knowing how to proceed. Life and Executive coaching assists individuals to navigate change or transition and implement the “how to” in fulfilling their dreams.
Dr. Lopez considers herself to be client-centered exploring client’s unique strengths and resources allowing them to arrive at solutions to their problems by examining their own experiences, values, thoughts and actions. While the client is viewed as the expert in his or her life and work, coaches are viewed as the experts at process of changing behavior and producing positive change. As a psychologist, Dr. Lopez has extensive education and experience in understanding human motivation, behavior, learning and change. Although she sees the client as the expert in their life, she views the coaching relationship as egalitarian as she and her clients develop a “co-creative” relationships to achieve their goals.
Dr. Lopez obtained her license as a psychologist in the state of Florida in 2009. She began practicing independently and later incorporated her business providing psychological services in 2010.
