About me
My name is Mercedes Floresislas, as an immigrant I cherish our ancestral healing traditions and I appreciate the importance of having culturally affirmative providers. The treatment goal of a culturally affirmative therapist is to provide services that honor and respect your culture instead of forcing you to fit a Eurocentric, English speaking, hetero-cis gender, neuro-normative standard of treatment. I specialize in guiding others in understanding and healing from complex trauma, gaps in memories, unresolved intergenerational trauma, and those who are the healers of ancestral trauma. I enjoy assisting highly sensitive folks set healthy boundaries so they can use their gifts as they were meant to do.
Change is inevitable, but becoming is a choice.
