Courtney Flores, M.S., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #140306

My Approach & Values

Courtney is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist who is passionate about supporting and working with clients on their journey towards self-discovery, growth, and enrichment. She enjoys working with children, adolescents, adults, parents, and families navigating challenges related to depression, anxiety, life transitions, parenting, adoption, and trauma recovery.

 Raised in a small, rural town in California’s Central Valley, Courtney earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from California State University, Fresno, and later obtained her Master’s in Counseling with an emphasis in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling. Her early clinical experience included working as a facilitator for the Central Star Wraparound Program, where she supported children in foster care with complex mental health needs and families going through reunification. Courtney completed her internship at Fresno Family Counseling Center, where she served individuals, couples, families, and groups in the community. She later provided care to clients with severe mental health disorders at Clinica Sierra Vista.

 Courtney believes in the power of individualized care. She understands that every person learns, heals, and grows in their own way.  The client is always the expert of their own experience. Her therapeutic approach is grounded in providing a safe, nurturing, and collaborative space where clients can feel empowered to explore and thrive. Courtney draws from a variety of evidence-based modalities but most readily from: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Courtney adapts her interventions to meet the unique needs and circumstances of each client to ensure truly personalized care and progress.

 As a clinical supervisor, Courtney strives to instill these same core principles in the professional development of her associates. She is committed to fostering a supportive, growth-oriented environment where emerging clinicians can build clinical confidence, hone their therapeutic skills, and develop a strong ethical foundation. Courtney emphasizes the importance of individualized, client-centered care in supervision just as she does in therapy, encouraging her associates to approach each client with curiosity, cultural humility, and compassion. Her goal is to cultivate reflective, resilient therapists who not only provide effective mental health care, but also feel personally and professionally fulfilled in the work they do.
