Trauma-Informed Therapy for Adults and Couples in California

I’m Cynthia Flores

Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

I offer virtual, trauma-informed therapy across California, with a focus on adults and couples navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, and generational wounds. I specialize in supporting Latinas, women of color, and first-generation clients, while welcoming anyone who resonates with a culturally grounded approach.

Start Therapy

You may be in the right place if…

You look like you have it together on the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted from always being the strong one. You may struggle with people-pleasing, boundaries, self-doubt, or relationship patterns that feel hard to change, even when you want something different.

Therapy can be a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin healing in a way that honors both your lived experience and your goals.

I offer trauma-informed, culturally grounded therapy for adults and couples who want to better understand themselves, heal from past experiences, and build healthier relationships.

My approach integrates EMDR, attachment-based therapy, and family systems work to support emotional regulation, self-trust, and meaningful change. Sessions are collaborative, grounded, and paced to meet you where you are.

How I Help

Meet Cynthia Flores

Hola, I’m Cynthia Flores (She/Her/Ella).

I’m a first-generation Mexican-American Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. As the daughter of immigrants, I understand the complexity of navigating culture, family expectations, and identity while trying to care for yourself and your relationships.

My work is rooted in compassion, cultural awareness, and the belief that healing does not require abandoning who you are or where you come from.
