When we want to change, developing emotional awareness helps the healing process. I have held space with my clients to discover this for 18 years using a variety of techniques from Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavior Therapy to Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sometimes who we need is a collaborator and coach and at other times someone to validate our experience and I will be this for you. I believe the quality of our working relationship is essential to the quality of your outcomes and we will make sure to incorporate this feedback.
Ultimately I would like you to say everything.
Many of the people I have worked with over the years have had experiences with substance use or feeling marginalized by how they identify. Together we will develop strategies towards resilience and steps toward change.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Mark Flores. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I like the feedback the therapist gives. He is not afraid to give a suggestion or feedback.

Even if there are days I feel the worse, having him understand that I want to get off my chest is nice. I never usually express myself but the sessions just kind of bring it out that expressing how I feel, it feels good to do to understand myself.

Mark has been soo helpful and kind, he’s got a lot of experience on top of that. I had been out of therapy for quite some time and using better help for a resource to locate someone led me to discovering Mark.
It’s been great getting the opportunity to share my heart. I feel like I’ve been heard, and in return he’s giving me tools to help me along the way!
So here’s a shout out to Mark! Thank you for all you do for me!

Mark was a professional, straight to the point, and extremely down to earth therapist. He was easy to speak with and made it a very comfortable experience. I appreciate his insights and his ability to "call me out" in a gentle and professional way during our chats. If you are someone (like me), who struggles with being completely transparent- Mark is the therapist for you! Ekosani, Thank You!

I have great therapy sessions with Mark where I feel open to share what’s going on in my life. He’s a great listener and assigns me homework on things I need to work on personally. I’ve never done therapy before, and I’ve noticed a positive change in my life since I’ve started my therapy sessions with Mark. Highly recommend him as a therapist!

The day after my first session with Mark, my friends and family said I sounded like myself again for the first time in weeks. He has changed my life and I am so glad to continue working with him - he gives me so much hope for my future.

I’ve been working with Mark for a few months now, and I have to say he is the best therapist i’ve ever seen. After struggling to find a therapist that actually helps in the past, Mark has been nothing but helpful and exactly what I need in a therapist to thrive.

Talking to Mark is one of the greatest times on my schedule! I can't explain how many positive changes we've come to by holding space and working toward the sensitive story of mine. He's the first therapist I've ever had, and the greatest fit I could've imagined.
Mark always makes sure to create and hold a healthy space for self-healing. I trust Mark and his understanding of things, which is really similar to my one.
I highly recommend this professional! The best!

Mark is warm, down to earth, and made me feel very seen and heard from day one. He gave me some much-needed space to process multiple issues this winter. In moments when I try to intellectualize or skate by on the surface of something, he’s very good at getting me to dig deeper and put my finger on how I’m actually feeling. I recommend him wholeheartedly! Also has a great sense of humor. 10/10

He gives great life advice and supplies very helpful resources. I especially appreciate that he's able to be serious when it's needed, and is light-hearted where appropriate. I always look forward to my sessions with Mark.
