Madeline Flores, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Madeline!

I work with individuals and specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and relationship issues.

My focus

I have experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. I often see clients who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, family issues, divorce, and individuals who struggle with self-esteem. I help my clients build skills, grow, and develop more insight to help improve functioning in their lives.

My approach

My approach is dependent on my client's needs. I tend to operate from a client-centered approach, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused, trauma-focused, and dialectical behavior therapy, while highlighting the client's strengths throughout treatment.

My communication style

My communication style changes depending on the client. I always tell my clients that they are driving the car, and I'm a sitting passenger. I am here to support your needs and provide a safe place for you to share. I use humor (when appropriate) to connect and further build rapport.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always wanted to be in the helping profession. I find passion in this line of work because life is full of curveballs, and sometimes we just need a space for someone to listen, see us, share an experience, and heal from past experiences.

My goals for you

I like to know what your expectations for therapy are and what you need from me. If that is more space to share, structure, or a little of both. We can work together to determine goals and a direction if you need it.

Our first session

In my first session with you, you can expect to explore what brought you to therapy, your strengths, and your goals for therapy. I would like to build some rapport by getting to know you and your personality.
