Lized Flores, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lized!

I'm dedicated to supporting individuals facing difficult challenges. I focus on creating a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your experiences without fear of stigma or shame. I recognize the multifaceted nature of recovery and healing.

My focus

I have experience working with both English and Spanish-speaking young to older adults struggling with a variety of mental health challenges and illnesses, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addiction, trauma, poor coping, self-esteem, and anger issues.

My approach

My approach is grounded in empathy, non-judgment, and deep compassion. I understand that reaching out for help takes courage. I work collaboratively to foster trust, ensuring that you feel heard, validated, and empowered to address any challenges you may be facing.

My communication style

I strive to create a safe, open space where you can feel heard and accepted. My communication style is grounded in active listening, empathy, and non-judgment. I meet each client where they are, honoring their unique pace and readiness to explore difficult emotions.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began with witnessing a family member struggle with mental illness, which sparked my interest in understanding and helping others navigate mental health challenges.

My goals for you

I work together with you to achieve your therapy goals by creating a personalized treatment plan and reflecting regularly on progress. We'll address any challenges and adjust my approach as needed, with ongoing communication to help you make lasting changes.

Our first session

In our initial session, we focus on building a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship. I invite you to share what brought you to therapy, and I'll ask questions to understand your personal history. We'll discuss your goals and what you hope to achieve.
