I’m Eduardo Florez, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and founder of ShieldMee. I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating trauma, identity, and high-stakes emotional dynamics. My approach blends deep clinical insight with real-world intensity—I don’t offer surface-level advice; I work with you to shift long-standing patterns, build self-mastery, and create change that lasts. Whether in individual sessions or group settings, I bring structure, clarity, and challenge when needed—but always with respect for your story.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, you can expect a structured, in-depth conversation that gets to the root of why you're here and where you want to go. I listen not just for content, but for patterns in language and emotion—what I call Clinical Language Profiling (CLP). This means I'm tracking the way you express insight, avoidance, and meaning, often catching things you might not realize you're saying. We’ll build a plan together, and you’ll leave knowing this isn’t just talk—it’s work that moves.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths as a provider are clarity, depth, and the ability to build trust quickly—even with clients who don't usually trust anyone. I don’t flinch in the face of complexity—whether that’s trauma, addiction, high-conflict relationships, or intense emotional states. I track language and behavior closely, using what I call Clinical Language Profiling (CLP) to help clients spot patterns and shift them in real time. I challenge without shaming, stay grounded under pressure, and hold a space where real change becomes possible.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

High-functioning but emotionally overwhelmed—people who “have it together” on the outside but feel stuck, disconnected, or in quiet crisis. I work well with individuals who think deeply, question everything, and carry complex histories—whether that’s trauma, addiction, high-achievement pressure, or relational chaos. My clients are often professionals, creatives, or caregivers who are ready to confront hard truths, make meaningful change, and go beyond surface-level coping. I also specialize in group therapy and work with men exploring identity, intimacy, and power in nuanced ways.
