our approach and background
Kenzi Lopez - DSW Candidate, LCSW, CCTP
Hello and welcome to Empower Transform Affirm Therapy! I am Kenzi Lopez, the Founder/CEO and Clinical Director of ETA Therapy. I am a Doctorate of Social Work Candidate at the University of Kentucky and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). My background includes extensive work with diverse populations and social justice issues, including racial justice, food justice, mental health, research, child welfare, adoption, sex work, youth homelessness, education, policy, and more, with a focus on BIPOC, LGBTQ+, first generation, intersectional, and neurodiverse communities.
As an organizer and advocate since age 14, I've dedicated my career to supporting marginalized communities through various lenses. My experience goes beyond individual therapy, allowing me to understand individuals, communities, and systems holistically with a liberation-focused viewpoint.
Over the years, I've honed my clinical skills, serving a diverse range of individuals and communities. Currently, my work primarily involves providing mental health support through therapy with individuals 18+ from all walks of life and case management support specific to the Queer, Trans, Non-Binary/Transfeminine, and Gender Expansive Community. I practice from a humanistic, anti-oppressive, and somatic experience lens.
At ETA Therapy, we embrace the concept of "come as you are" and center empowerment, transformation, and affirmations throughout your healing journey. Life is like a GPS journey – your ETA may shift due to various factors but we're here to meet you wherever you are in life to support you on your unique path. We understand that life can sometimes be unpredictable and that some things are just beyond your control. Rest assured, we're here to support you in any way that we can. We look forward to our paths crossing and hopefully getting to know you more as you navigate your healing journey.
