About Shane Lopez

Hello there! Has your life become strange, dark, or mysterious? Are you struggling to make sense of the path you are on? Well the good news is you are not alone, and you don’t have to make the journey by yourself.
I have over 9 years of experience in the field of counseling and mental health therapy. If you are seeing this, then I am glad you have taken the first steps towards seeking to improve your life and personal experience. I would be glad to help see you along the way for as long as it may be needed.

I have a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am a Licensed Professional Counselor through the Louisiana LPC Board.

My counseling style is an interactive blend of education and reframing to help you explore and understand your own values, assumptions, and ideals in a non-judgmental and open conversation. I use an odd mix between storytelling and metaphor to help my clients better understand and frame the world around them.

Share your story with me, and let’s see what sense we can make!

“Helping lots”

“From the first time I spoke with Shane I felt like I had a real opportunity to trust him and be open about my problems with him. He is always so kind, so good at truly listening, and so wise about how to respond. I truly believe that I can trust him to direct me to a healthier perspective on everything in my life. I feel better after every conversation I get to have with him!”

“Out of the 4 other therapists I’ve tried in my life, Shane is by far the best. He truly listens, understands, and is willing to think deeply and provide thoughtful guidance for me. He has made a genuine difference in my life and I’ve experienced some very impactful changes since I’ve started working with him.”

“I enjoy working with him and find value in his support”

“Shane makes me feel comfortable and at ease”

“I’ve worked with Shane now for over a year and I appreciate his listening and questions. They help me to process some of my own thoughts to express things that are on my mind.”

“Shane is so easy to talk to. Our sessions are more like talking with a friend that I've known for years instead of a stranger. He listens and communicates to understand completely.”

“Shane listens and asks multiple questions to understand what I'm saying and how I am feeling and why.”
