Professor Lopez-Urbina has worked extensively with youth and families, especially in the area of trauma, including in specialized services that address gang involvement, childhood abuse/foster care, sexual exploitation, immigration trauma, and issues related oppression, racism, and acculturation issues.

Professor Lopez-Urbina, as a Spanish native speaker, has held partnerships with community agencies in supporting their service delivery by providing Spanish consultation services to support clinicians in practicing their bilingualism as well as to learn culturally responsive services that align with the LatinX community. Professor Lopez-Urbina also provides trainings throughout the Bay Area, in English and Spanish, on topics related to the LatinX population, trauma-informed care, and culturally responsive services.

Professor Lopez-Urbina currently holds a Private Practice in Berkeley and enjoys practicing mostly from a social justice, relational, and psychodynamic approach.

In her personal time, Professor Lopez-Urbina enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter. She enjoys taking walks in nature, reading, and traveling.
