Juan Flores
Juan is a licensed mental health professional and certified sex therapist authorized to practice in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Florida, bringing over 13 years of dedicated experience in the field. He offers both virtual and in-person sessions at his Philadelphia office.
In the initial sessions, clients can expect a comprehensive assessment, as Juan places strong emphasis on truly understanding the root of the issues before moving forward.
Throughout his career, he has mentored numerous therapists, guiding them toward achieving independent and clinical licensure. He has also shared his expertise as a lecturer on psychopathology at Rutgers University. Certified as an addictions counselor and a sex therapist, Juan is equipped to address a wide range of mental health concerns. While he is capable of working with clients of all ages, he particularly prefers working with adult individuals and couples, both in individual and partnership therapy settings.
First session
In the initial session, Juan will conduct an extensive clinical evaluation to gain a thorough understanding of your needs and determine how his support can best align with your goals. After completing the evaluation, Juan will collaborate with you to establish clear treatment goals, ensuring you are both on the same page.
Strengths
Many clients describe Juan as someone they feel they can talk to like a trusted, supportive, and non-judgmental friend who truly understands. His primary aim is to help clients achieve meaningful results and ultimately empower them to graduate from therapy. Juan firmly believes that an effective therapist's role is to teach clients how to become their own therapists, fostering independence so they no longer need ongoing professional support throughout their lives.
Ideal clients
His expertise lies in assisting clients dealing with relationship/marital conflicts, anger management issues, male sex/porn addiction (both heterosexual and homosexual), open relationships, teaching conflict resolution and effective communication skills, navigating difficult family members, depression and anxiety. He firmly believes that you are the author of your own life story and possess unique strengths that can help you overcome any obstacles you may face.

Sex Therapy
I am a certified professional specializing in guiding clients through the transition from monogamy to open or ethically non-monogamous relationships. I also support individuals navigating challenges related to sex or pornography addiction, as well as those seeking to explore new aspects of their sexuality. My practice is inclusive, welcoming both heterosexual and LGBTQ+ individuals. My work centers on helping clients uncover their authentic desires, release feelings of shame or guilt, and express their true selves with confidence. Whether reigniting passion in long-term partnerships or fostering personal growth, I create a safe, respectful space where individuals and couples can explore their needs, deepen connection, and approach self-discovery with curiosity and compassion.
