About Mark Flores

Mark Flores is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with two decades of experience helping people build emotional awareness as a foundation for change. He centers his work on creating a collaborative space where exploration and practical steps toward growth can coexist, using approaches drawn from Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

He combines the roles of collaborator, coach, and witness depending on what a person needs most - sometimes offering guidance and structure, and other times providing validation and reflection. He prioritizes the therapeutic relationship and invites ongoing feedback so the work aligns with each person's goals and experience.

Mark has worked with many people who have faced substance use challenges or who have felt marginalized because of how they identify. He focuses on building resilience and identifying concrete steps toward change, encouraging open expression so clients can address painful material and pursue meaningful shifts in their lives.
