Hello, I am Dawn R. Flores, LCSW. Originally from Southern California, I called Austin home for 20 years. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from St. Edward’s University and my Master of Social Work from Texas State University.  Through my own journey I married my incredible wife, we raised two kind and curious kids who are now on their own journeys, and now my wife and I are traveling!

 

A few things you should know about me: I recognize and utilize cultural competency and honor diversity.  I believe in understanding how large systems, systemic racism, historical context, policies and the political climate have a real impact on our lives. Our personal experiences are only part of how we connect to and understand the world.

 

My experience includes:

I work with adults of all ages, including couples. Additionally, I really enjoy and connect well with adolescences. 

I have experience with a wide range of life’s challenges and diagnosis, including:

depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, medical challenges, parenting, stress, self-discovery, communication, women issues, goal planning, trauma, and many more.

 

We are looking to understand you better, your choices and how you feel in your life. We are not our diagnosis or symptoms, we are so much more complex!
