Hello! I’m Flor and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and the founder of a small private practice — Calmness Therapy. I offer services to adults experiencing life transitions, relationship difficulties, loss of any kind, or stressful life experiences. As a bilingual English and Spanish therapist, I also welcome clients who feel more comfortable working in their native language and navigating acculturation or adjustment difficulties.
Kindness, respect, and empathy are values I hold deeply, and they guide the way I work with each of my clients. My approach is rooted in creating a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free environment where everyone can feel seen and understood. I believe therapy is most effective when it takes into account the integration of mind and body.
I look forward to meeting you!
