Dr. Katherine Llopiz, PhD, LMHC, NCC, MCAP is a licensed psychotherapist in Florida & Virginia, clinical leader, and founder of Be The Change Mental Health, dedicated to helping individuals heal from trauma, reclaim their sense of self, and cultivate emotionally fulfilling lives and relationships.

With over nine years of clinical experience, Dr. Llopiz specializes in trauma recovery, narcissistic and relational abuse, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, attachment wounds, and emotional dysregulation. Her work is rooted in the belief that healing extends far beyond symptom management, it is about restoring safety within the mind and body, rebuilding self-trust, and creating lasting internal transformation.

Known for her deeply compassionate yet insight-oriented approach, Dr. Llopiz integrates evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness-based interventions, meditation, somatic awareness, and holistic healing practices. She works collaboratively with clients to uncover unconscious patterns, strengthen emotional resilience, improve relational dynamics, and reconnect with their authentic selves.

Dr. Llopiz is passionate about creating a therapeutic space that is empowering, nonjudgmental, and deeply restorative. Her mission is to help clients move beyond survival mode and into lives rooted in confidence, clarity, emotional freedom, and purpose.

She believes healing is not about becoming someone new but about returning home to yourself and becoming the change you wish to see in the world.
