Daniela Lopez has acquired a wide breadth of professional experience working in academics, research, and clinical work since 2009. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Michigan and began working at the University of Michigan Department of Psychiatry and Depression Center shortly after, assisting in the development and implementation of mental health research studies. Once she obtained her Master of Human Resources and Organizational Development in 2014, she obtained a position within the University of Michigan School of Public Health, researching HIV-transmission risk-reduction in Detroit and Atlanta, as well as women in sub-Saharan Africa. She learned about CHASS Center and their services while working at the University of Michigan Obstetrics and Gynecology Department on research focused on women’s health and returned to the Department of Psychiatry in 2017. This journey in a variety of health settings, and her desire to use her bilingual skills, led her to pursue her Master of Social Work degree at the University of Michigan. Her clinical work is focused on strengths-based, trauma-focused therapy for the culturally diverse community at CHASS Center.
