My ideal clients are individuals and families who are ready to take steps in their life journey toward positive change. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues, providing services to age ranges of 4 years old & up that span from therapy for depression, grief counseling, parenting support, life transitions, and beyond My therapy approach is collaborative, integrative, insight-oriented, and holistic. By utilizing this approach it affords the opportunity for sessions and interventions to be personalized and tailored to each of my client’s individual needs. Subsequently, the personalized modalities assist clients to attain the personal growth they're striving for in a supportive and comfortable setting. I believe that throughout our lifetime we go through a series of transitions like COVID19 that help or hinder us at the different phases of our life. My goal is to help you find ways to cope, resolve communication issues, career decisions, life transitions through examining current challenges, lifelong patterns, workplace issues, stress, loss, and illness. My approach is to apply mental health counseling by utilizing evidence-based modalities. True transformational healing occurs holistically through a balance of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. There’s not a one size fits all technique.

My name is Flora Pazos, and I have been a mental health practitioner for over 40 years. I am fluent in English as well as Spanish and I pride myself in helping those in need. I have experience in individual therapy, couples and family therapy, and a wide range of adult and pediatric issues. In my practice, I am devoted to adapting services to meet the individual needs of each client, with compassion, understanding, dignity, and respect, while promoting self-determination and self-growth. My therapeutic style is goal-oriented and individualized to the needs of each client. I believe that anyone can benefit from therapy and one does not need to have a mental health illness or an emotional issue to benefit from therapy; therapy can help achieve a life-long dream and a sense of happiness in the individual. I teach clients strategies and techniques to reinforce their inner strengths as well as to better cope with their current situations/issues. After each session, you will not only gain the tools to carefully examine each life decision but a much-needed serenity that will help you through the process.
