Nestor is incredible, i couldn't have asked for a better therapist to help me through life's challenges. I think I really lucked out with having been able to work with someone as genuine, professional and supportive as Nestor is - grateful to have met him and feel far more equipped to confront the everyday hurdles with a more robust and agile toolbox of skills and a more resilient frame of mind.

Nestor is wonderful. He's renewed my faith in counselling and people in general. I feel that he sincerely listens to me and my concerns, and I would go as far as saying that Nestor is a friend. I think it will be hard to find another counsellor who challenges me and is committed to helping me grow. Thanks Nestor

Therapy is a confidential space for you to organize your thoughts and feelings. If you are experiencing problems and symptoms that are affecting your Mental, Emotional, and/or Behavioral Health, it can be a valuable source of support. In session we can address the depressive, stressful, and/or anxious sensations that are interfering in your day to day activities. I will work on supporting your stability, helping you identify areas of growth, and working collaboratively on a plan to improve the quality of your life. Let's work together to help you cope and feel better!

I am a certified Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I have worked as a psychotherapist with diverse clients ages 5 and up, in individual, couple, family, and group settings.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

After years of talking to therapists and counselors who just weren’t helping, I’ve finally found one that actually listens AND hears me. He has helped me manage my ptsd and reminds me to take care of myself first and foremost.

Nestor has been absolutely amazing in helping me to recover and pick myself back up again after my separation from my husband. He was very accommodating when scheduling me in due to time differences and also very quick in responding to my messages online. He helped me to challenge myself and look to discover the person that I had hidden for so long. I can't thank Nestor enough for giving me the support to start again. For the first time in a decade, I am a free person. Thank you for everything!

Nestor is truly a gem - he's helped me understand myself better and guided me through confusing, difficult times of life. He's really professional, and makes you feel really safe to share what's on your mind - never passes judgement and simply wants to help you through whatever is on your mind. Highly, highly recommend trying a session with him!

Mr. Flores is very professional and patient. You’ll have all his attention during a session and he genuinely cares about your situation and concerns. He’s a good listener and always able to identify the key element that might have caused the problem. I’d recommend Mr. Flores to anyone who needs help.
