about Lisa Flores, LCSW
My name is Lisa Flores. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and am very passionate about being in the field of mental health. I entered the field many years ago and realized I had found my calling. Other than learning more about ways to understand and improve psychological health, I also enjoy the beach, tropical locations, hiking in nature, working in my garden, live music, dogs, and visiting museums.
I have been in the field of mental health for 32 years. During that time I’ve had specialized training in child welfare, issues of adolescence, blended families and complex trauma. I believe that mental and emotional issues stem from trauma, childhood difficulties, inherited tendencies, cultural influences, societal pressures, relationship issues, and the challenges of daily living. These must be understood to some degree as the past influences the present, however the focus of treatment will be on "what are we doing in the here and now," and how will we make adjustments that will improve our quality of life today.
In my work with clients, I am warm, sincere, and empathic. My approach is honest and I use appropriate levels of challenging to “get to it” by uncovering the root of the issue and finding solutions. I will give clients "homework" when it is likely to improve treatment outcomes.

What clients have to say about working with me
Clients who work with me say they feel heard and understood and they are able to use the therapeutic interventions we discuss. I have had many clients reach out to me years later to report on the positive outcomes in their lives and the part I play in that.
