I'm Maritess "Tess" Florez, a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist working with CA clients via telehealth. I work mostly with individuals from adolescents to adults, as well as parents/children ages 3-8. I also see couples and offer family sessions as needed. I work from a trauma-informed lens and may utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), Narrative Therapy, as well as various somatic-based interventions.
My communication style is calm, compassionate, accommodating and non-judgmental. I try to create an environment where my clients feel comfortable, safe and supported. I spend a lot of time getting to know my clients at the start of the therapeutic process to help with assessment and build trust.
The first session is the start of building a new therapeutic relationship. There needs to be a connection and it is the start of building trust. In our first session, we will talk about what brought you into therapy and learn how we can best work together. If you think we might be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out today.
