Hi, my name is Daniella Flores, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I was born in Costa Rica and moved to California when I was 8 years old. I am bilingual in Spanish and English.<\/p>\n
Since I was young, I have had a passion for helping others and that is why I decided to get into this field. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from California State Polytechnic University in Pomona and my Master of Science in Psychology from University of Phoenix. I wanted to continue my education; therefore, I got my second Master\u2019s in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University in Riverside.<\/p>\n
For my practicum I worked for a nonprofit organization in which I gained experience from different populations. I worked with children starting at the age of 5 years old and with adults. I worked with individuals who were experiencing: anxiety, depression, ADHD, emotional regulation issues, crisis, bereavement, interpersonal conflicts, low self-esteem and family dynamic issues.<\/p>\n
My approach to therapy stems from a client-centered approach in which I want my client to feel that they are in a safe space that is not judgmental, genuine where trust can be built. I work collaboratively with my clients in which goals and treatment are individualized to the client\u2019s needs. Within my approach I implement distinct modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, strength-based, art therapy and play therapy.<\/p>\n
Overall, my goal is to be able to give clients tools and coping skills to be able to navigate difficult challenges that they are facing. While still maintaining a close rapport in which they know they have someone to confide in, that is compassionate about their job and their problems.<\/p>\n
