I would describe my therapeutic approach as empathic, compassionate, non-judgmental, collaborative, and empowering. It is important that my clients feel seen, heard, understood, and empowered. I believe that fostering a safe and secure therapeutic relationship is crucial in the therapeutic process. I also believe in meeting the clients where they are at any given moment and empowering them to discover insights and skills that work best for them.

Hi and welcome! My name is Traysi Flores and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I believe that therapy is a unique experience; an hour of your time in which you are able to slow down, self-reflect, look at experiences through a different lens, and focus on navigating difficult emotions and experiences in a way that fosters healing and growth. I've found that my approach is most effective with young adults and millennials facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, grief, navigating difficult life transitions, self-esteem issues, and developmental trauma.

Why is it that the person we love the most can become the most threatening to us? We want to feel connected and yet our behaviors end up pushing them away…and vice versa. You’re not alone. Most couples can find themselves in a negative cycle at some point, unable to find their way out of it. We are social animals! We need each other! Attachment science makes sense of our interactions with each other. I love helping couples and families understand their particular dance, making the connections between what the the underlying need is and more adaptive ways to express that need, thereby bringing a feeling of safety and connection.

I believe therapy is a journey we embark on together, where I can provide support and guidance as you explore those parts of yourself that previously felt too dark or broken to reveal. My goal is for the therapy room to be sacred space where you feel valued and heard; and most importantly, where you feel safe.

I am a passionate therapist seeking to walk alongside my client's through providing empathy and a safe space. I became motivated to become a therapist due to my own family traumas and addictions. While navigating through life I recognized the need for a safe person to listen, validate when appropriate, challenge and motivate to get through trying times. This is the person I want to be for my clients.
