Alana Lopez, Ph.D.

Hello! My name is Dr. Alana Lopez, and I’m a parent coach, child psychologist, and mom. As a parent coach, I take parenting science and research and make it playful, personal, and practical for the everyday parent. My mission is to help parents understand their child’s emotions and behavior, feel empowered to show up, and grow their parenting confidence and that “I got this!” feeling. I specialize in integrating Conscious Parenting approaches, neuroscience, as well as trauma informed and somatic work into the parent coaching experience. I offer parent groups, one-on-one parent coaching, and partner with schools.

I have over 10 years of experience working with parents and children in schools, hospitals, at home, and in private practice. I received my BA in Psychology from The Ohio State University and PhD in School and Pediatric Psychology from The University of South Florida. I completed a two-year fellowship at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital then worked at Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital before opening my own practice in 2017.
