Stephanie Flores, LCSW

Welcome to Lighthouse Therapy. My name is Stephanie Flores and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Since graduating from USC with my masters in Social Work, I've specialized in treating complex trauma, PTSD, ADHD, depression, anxiety, and self-harm for nearly 15 years. I began my career working with severely mentally ill adult violent offenders in a state psychiatric facility. For the last 12 years, I've worked as a clinical school social worker treating adolescents and their families. My practice emphasizes parent coaching along with the treatment of the adolescent client to improve connection and understanding within the family system. Since becoming EMDR trained, much of my work has also been with adult clients seeking healing and growth by choosing to address past trauma that continues to drive undesirable patterns in their present. Many of us carry unresolved wounds and unmet needs from childhood that continue to affect our emotional, mental, and physical well-being as adults. Through EMDR, I help you recognize and heal these inner child wounds, fostering a deeper understanding of yourself and creating healthier relationships with both your past and your present. Whether you’re facing challenges in your personal life, career, or relationships, acknowledging patterns that began in early childhood can unlock profound healing and empowerment. Together, we’ll work on rediscovering lost joy, addressing limiting beliefs, and cultivating self-compassion to help you live a more fulfilling life.
