ABOUT ME – Dadiana Lopez, LCSW
Hi, I’m Dadiana Lopez, a first-generation Latina, life-long New Yorker, mother, wife, and psychotherapist with over 10 years of clinical experience. My journey into this work began long before my professional training—it started with a deep curiosity about people, resilience, and what helps us heal.
After earning my master’s degree from the CUNY Silberman School of Social Work in 2014, I’ve had the privilege of working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families across a wide range of settings—from outpatient clinics to hospitals and residential programs. Each experience taught me something new about the human spirit and the importance of meeting people exactly where they are.
Over the years, I’ve received formal training and certification in several evidence-based modalities and combined them with neuroscience and mind-body techniques to create a holistic approach to therapy. I believe that real healing happens when we address not just the mind, but also the body and the ways our nervous system stores experiences.

I’m licensed in New York and Connecticut and currently work with adults and couples navigating:

Whether you’ve tried therapy before or this is your very first step, my goal is to help you challenge unhelpful beliefs about yourself, uncover your strengths, and move toward healing, authenticity, and the life you truly want to live.
Therapy can feel overwhelming at first. But you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to help you navigate this chapter - one step at a time.
