Hi, I’m Dr. Marci Flores and my pronouns are She/Her.

I’m a clinical psychologist based in Los Angeles, California (accepting telehealth clients throughout the California state). I grew up in New England on the East Coast where I completed my schooling before taking my adventure to the West Coast.

Practically, I am a warm and compassionate person who cares deeply about people and animals. My personal values include Mental and Emotional wellness, Quality relationships, Knowledge, Kindness, Having fun, Physical Health, Creativity, Gratitude, Curiosity, and Integrity. I believe that we are on a life long journey of growing and “leveling up” as we go.

I’m on a journey just like you. I’ve had significant hurdles in my life, my relationships, and my career. I understand yearning to know more, feel better, and show up steadier for the challenges in life.

Professional Me

I completed my undergraduate studies at Loyola University Maryland graduating Summa Cum Laude. I attended the University of Hartford in Connecticut for my Master of Arts and Doctor of Psychology degrees in Clinical Psychology. I completed intensive training at the Anxiety Disorder Clinic at the Institute of Living, Yale Substance Abuse Treatment Unit, and in Neuropsychology.

I completed my internship at the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center and residency at the VA Long Beach Healthcare System where I specialized in providing trauma focused treatment and general mental health services to the Veteran population. I stayed on at the VA continue to provide clinical treatment while also becoming highly involved in administration, leadership, program re-design and diversity and inclusion efforts to create larger systemic changes aimed at improving effective, efficient and quality mental health treatment. Following the VA, I took a position as a Director at a VC backed mental health start-up helping grow and build a company focused on creating a safe and accepting space for emotional connection. Along side these ventures, I provided in-person and Telehealth services through my part-time private practice since 2016, shifting my attention to this full-time in 2022.
