Noemi Flores
Hello, I’m Noemi “Mimi” and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) that enjoys working with children, adolescents, young adults, women, and individuals part of the LGBTQIA+ community. I would describe my style as warm, authentic, and collaborative. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, helping you gain insight, explore new perspectives, and develop tools that fit who you are and where you want to go. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Psychoeducation, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Supportive Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, Music Therapy, Art Therapy, Play Therapy, and other modalities. I believe therapy should be as unique as the person seeking it. I take a whole-person approach and integrate different therapeutic modalities to meet each client where they are and support them along their own individual journey.
First session
Our first session together is about getting comfortable, getting to know each other, and creating a space where you feel heard and understood. We’ll talk about what you’ve been experiencing, what matters to you, and what you hope to work on together, I don’t believe therapy is one-size-fits-all, so I take time to understand you as a whole person and collaboratively find an approach that fits your unique needs and journey.
Strengths
I bring warmth, empathy, and a genuine sense of curiosity into each session. I strive to create a calm, nonjudgemental space where clients feel comfortable being themselves and know that their experiences are heard and understood. I believe that meaningful progress can happen even in the midst of life's challenges, and I value celebrating both the small steps and the bigger moments along the way. My approach is grounded in meeting each person where they are, seeking to understand their perspective, and collaborating with them to find a path forward that feels authentic to who they are.
Ideal clients
I enjoy working with children, adolescents, young adults, women, and individuals part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Some of my focus and expertise is helping people with life transitions, anxiety, stress, depression, anger management, adult ADHD, trauma, and sleeping problems/insomnia. As well as guiding individuals in career counseling, dating/romantic relationships, learning disabilities, self-esteem, sexual abuse, women’s issues, gender identity, and pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum. I am always learning and plan on enhancing and specializing in some of these and other specialties.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use techniques from the CBT model when a client needs help with processing thoughts and feelings and redirecting negative thoughts by using worksheets or other visual material.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
This model helps my clients to be present in the here-and-now, be able to reset the mind, and allow the mind to feel safe in the moment. I like to incorporate coping skills and relaxation techniques with my clients.
Psychoeducation
I believe providing psychoeducation to my clients is useful as it allows the person to understand what they might be going through and how our mind and bodies work.
