Summary

• Cornell and Columbia trained, Dr. Lopez does not believe in one-size-fits-all treatments. He is a Distinguished Fellow of the national Child and Adolescent Psychiatry society (AACAP) and believes in down-to-earth approaches that really make sense. Dr. Lopez is also an adult psychotherapist with many years of training in the most in-depth psychotherapies. He provides interventions that have clear results. He is also a Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association (APA) and teaches at Cornell and Columbia specialized training programs. He now brings to Connecticut the latest knowledge to help kids, parents, and adult patients.
  
  Therapists with less training will claim they can help you or your children. Yet, only when one understands the underlying cause or causes of the person's difficulties, real long-term solutions can be found. Dr. Lopez's high-level clinical skills allow him to detect problems in his patients and then use this knowledge to put together effective treatments.
  
  You might already feel burned out with undertrained therapists and psychiatrists. Dr. Lopez is highly skilled, but is also a friendly and very approachable physician. He's easy to reach by cell phone or text, and will always answer patients' questions clearly. With Dr. Lopez you can trust that he will recommend medications when absolutely necessary.
