Sara Lopes

Sara Lopes is a Massachusetts-based mental health counselor with a master’s degree and eight years of clinical experience. She has worked directly with people who have experienced homelessness and with individuals coping with serious mental health challenges and addiction, and she has provided extensive social work support for low-income clients facing obstacles such as housing stability.

Her practice centers on meeting people where they are and moving at a pace that feels manageable. She learns about each person’s background and goals to determine which therapeutic approach is likely to be most effective for an individual or a couple. In her sessions she frequently draws on Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Sara aims to help clients notice relief and meaningful shifts sooner rather than later while building confidence in both themselves and the therapeutic process. Clients can expect to be treated with respect, care, and compassion, and to have a therapist who supports them as they work toward becoming the version of themselves that feels right and honest.

Her online office hours run Monday through Saturday, and Sunday is her personal day when she is not available for messaging or sessions. Messages received after Saturday evening are answered on Monday. For the foreseeable future, new clients are being seen via messaging and live chat only - phone and video sessions are not being offered to new clients.
