Belle Lopes, LCSW, is deeply understanding of how past experiences significantly shape present-day lives. With a focus on trauma and PTSD, she emphasizes that trauma can alter the way individuals view themselves and the world around them. As an IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapist, Belle specializes in addressing complex trauma and attachment wounds, though her effective therapeutic work is accessible to all, regardless of familiarity with these concepts. With compassion and a wealth of experience, she employs evidence-based treatment models to help clients cultivate a loving and understanding relationship with themselves while healing from their past wounds. Belle provides guidance in navigating body sensations, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, assisting clients in understanding the impact of their life experiences—both conscious and unconscious—on their current well-being. Through deeper self-awareness and enhanced coping strategies, clients can tap into their innate wisdom for healing. Although individuals cannot control their circumstances or initial reactions to stress and trauma, Belle emphasizes that they can choose how to move forward. Healing flourishes within fostering relationships, making it essential to connect with a therapist who resonates with one’s journey. Belle Lopes is eager to embark on this transformative journey with you.
