Mark Flores brings two decades of clinical experience to his work with individuals seeking change. He emphasizes building emotional awareness as a core part of the healing process and uses a mix of Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help clients move forward.

Mark adapts his role to fit what each person needs – at times acting as a collaborator and coach, and at other times offering validation of lived experience. He regards the quality of the therapeutic relationship as central to progress and welcomes ongoing feedback so the work can be adjusted for better outcomes.

His goal is for clients to feel able to speak openly about their experience. Over the years he has supported many people who have faced substance use challenges or who have felt marginalized because of how they identify. Together with clients he focuses on building resilience and practical steps toward change.

Mark is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Texas and has specialized experience addressing stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT-related concerns, anger management, depression, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
