WELCOME
TOGETHER WE CAN TACKLE WHAT'S HOLDING YOU BACK
I'm glad that you have made the step towards taking care of yourself and seeking support from someone that can guide you through this journey of healing. If healing for you means having to process a traumatic event, to perhaps transitioning through difficult moments in life, I'm here for you. I know this is hard and you may have been contemplating reaching out to a therapist for some time now. But I'm glad that you have made the first step and you are ready to start this journey, and I feel honored that you have chosen me to be a part of it. Together we will find the tools to help you through these difficult moments. I know that these moments have made you feel perhaps anxious or depressed, we will face these feelings together. Let's get you to a place in your life where you can find peace and fulfillment.
MY THERAPUETIC STYLE
I wholeheartedly believe that human connection is built on trust and respect, within a safe space. I honor this belief and bring it into my therapeutic work. I meet each individual I have in front of me where they are, with an open mind and compassion. In doing this, I hope to support you in an inward journey of self-discovery and healing.
I enjoy using different evidence-based practices; however, I am aware of the importance of tailoring my treatment modalities to the specific needs of each individual. My specialty is working with survivors of sexual abuse trauma, assault and childhood trauma. This is a topic that many carry complex and difficult feelings about. Survivors may have never had the opportunity to share their story with others, which is why I feel honored to be listening. Together we will break through the trauma, and regain the strength and power that once was diminished by someone else. Together we will also break unhealthy patterns or family cycles that hinder growth and quality of life. Sessions are strength-based, dynamic, collaborative and focus on supporting you in finding hope, personal insight and strength.
I provide services both in-person and virtually. Give me a call for a free consultation!
Meet Rocio R. Flores, MFT
About Me
Hello my name is Rocio R. Flores and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I provide online counseling to those that live in the state of California. I was born and raised in San Jose, California. I am a first generation, Mexican-American, from parents who immigrated to the US in the 70's. Growing up as a first generation child in the US, and as the eldest child, I experienced many challenges, but also rewarding experiences. I was the first in my family to graduate from high school, college and from a graduate program. I continue to live in the South Bay and have dedicated most of my career to giving back to my community.
I became interested in the field of psychology, mainly due to the challenges I faced as a child and adolescent. I soon realized as a young adult that my challenges would become a way for me to understand the insight on how to be there for others.
I graduated from San Jose State University with a degree in Justice Studies and a minor in Sociology. Soon after I graduated, I realized I wanted to achieve a career in psychology. I then attended the Counseling Psychology graduate program at Santa Clara University. I started my journey as a residential counselor for high- risk runway youth. Once I graduated from my program, I ventured into non-profit community based work. I have had the honor to meet so many clients that have allowed me to walk along them as they processed trauma of all types, transitions in life, sexual orientation and identity and many other life adversities. I continue to work within the non-profit world because it truly has become a part of my passion to provide therapeutic resources to others in need.
On my personal time I enjoy spending time with my husband and two children.
