I taught undergraduate psychology courses at the university level and have lectured and presented workshops internationally. I speak English and Spanish fluently.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session will focus on understanding your situation and how best to provide support.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths is I am relateable and have a very practical hands-on approach to therapy. I'm happy to provide ongoing long-term therapy for complex issues but also value brief therapy if you are simply looking for a few tools to improve your situation.

I have had an incredibly hard time finding a therapist that feels real, that meets my criteria, & that I can trust. However, within five minutes of connecting to Dr. Marcel, I knew he was what I've been looking for. I really appreciate his direct approach, and his humor made it even easier to just keep talking to him. I felt heard—he wasn't just absentmindedly agreeing to make me feel better, but giving me constructive criticism in order to help me be better.

My first session with Dr Flores was great. He was able to see me on short notice, and he was engaging and didn't shy away when I wanted to jump right into an issue. He was immediately helpful.
