Hello, my name is Madeline Flores. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #139058. I am based out of San Diego Ca. and see clients throughout Ca via telehealth. I work with individuals and specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, and relationship issues.
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. All of these modalities provide the framework to support us within the session.
My focus
I have experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. I often see clients that 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 communication style
My communication style changes depending on the client. I always tell my client's 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. I like open honest communication to ensure I am where you need me to be.
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 curve balls 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.
My first session with you
In my first session with you you can expect to explore what brought you to therapy, your strengths, and your goal for therapy. I would like to build some rapport by getting to know you and your personality.
