About Jessica Flores
In a September 2024 video for EMDRIA’s Hispanic Heritage Month series, Jessica Flores, who identifies as a licensed professional counselor trained in EMDR at Flourish Mental Health, discussed her work with the Latin community. She stated that she uses an approach called Community Cultural Wealth, which she described as helping to strengthen marginalized groups. Flores said that in the counseling room this involves "honing in on someone's resilience and providing a safe space where they don't feel as if they are in fight-or-flight mode." She also noted in Spanish that her goal in sessions is to provide a safe environment for her client, which sometimes involves talking about feelings and thoughts.
