ABOUT ME

My name is Yvette Flores, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of California. I have10 years of experience in the mental health field doing Direct Clinical Work, Case Management, Advocacy, and Community Development. 

​​

I am passionate about fostering healing spaces and comunidad with the goal of creating a more socially-just future. I have extensive experience helping immigrants, children of immigrants, and BIPGM (Black, Indigenous, and People of the Global Majority) reaffirm their personal values and show up with confidence in their communities. I use an eclectic mix of tools grounded in cognitive behavioral theory, attachment theory, and internal family system theory, amongst others, to help clients reach their goals. 

I was born and raised in Southern California to Mexican immigrant parents. I have dedicated myself to supporting the Latinx community in various capacities since I was a young high school student. Currently, I live in the San Francisco Bay area with my partner and my pitbull puppy, Keylong. I identify as queer and an emerging Buddhist.  I love taking weekend road trips out to nature, and hanging out with my plantita friends. I am also learning my partner’s native language (Telugu)!
