About me
Hi, my name is Rika Lopez and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 10 years of experience working with adults, couples, and families. I am currently a candidate for CSAT (Certified Sex Addiction Therapist) where I am learning tools and techniques to work with those who struggle with sexually compulsive and repetitive behaviors such as pornography addiction, infidelity, "hook up" apps, and other related behaviors. Many relationships and marriages have suffered tremendously due to these sexual addictions and patterns of behavior. If you or your partner identify with these descriptions, you are not alone. It's time to seek help for yourself and your partner. Let's invest your time and resources in saving your relationship/ marriage. Not tomorrow, not later, but today!!
As a Christian therapist, I find it also of value to work with faith based clients who feel immense guilt and shame due to their sexual addictions. Sadly many churches do not offer a safe environment for people struggling with sexual addiction to be heard, noticed, or even counseled. This is such a tragic reality.
My hope and prayer is that many spiritual communities will begin to expose themselves to having raw and honest conversations like sex addiction so that struggling members will not have to hide and bury themselves in deep shame and isolation which is exactly what drives their addictive behaviors and patterns.
It's time for a change.
The only way you will get past this is if you bring things to light and confront it yourself.
No more hiding, no more pretending.
Let's start your healing journey today.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Rika Lopez. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
My boyfriend and I worked with Rika for a few months and in the little time we had with her, she helped point out things in our relationship that we needed to work on and helped us communicate with each other better. We loved working with Rika and hope to be able to work with her again once we resubscribe!
My husband came across this app and we were matched with Rika. The short time we were with her we felt we made real progress in our marriage and as individuals. Thank you Rika so much. We truly appreciate you!!
Rika built trust the first day we met over the phone. She is consistent and gentle in her approach. She knows how to keep sessions calm and focused. I’d recommend her to anyone in need of a great counselor.
Rika is a great counselor who is very keen on helping someone reach their goals in therapy.
Early in our journey, but love the experience and insight Rika has given us.
