Karla Flores-Hernandez, LMLP-T
Karla has a Bachelor's in psychology from Universidad Centro Americana Jose Simeon Canas-UCA (El Salvador). She attended and then received her Master's in Clinical psychology from Universidad Dr. Jose Matias Delgado (El Salvador). While developing her private practice, she began her career with Salvadorean community residents (children and adolescents) at her college Psychological Assistance Clinic. She enhanced the skill of treating various clinical issues focusing on behavioral and emotional problems. She currently holds a licensure in the State of Kansas as a Licensed Masters Level Psychologist – Temporary (LMLP 03103-T) and will work under the supervision of Marci Ramsay, who is an LSCSW (#4179)
and Registered Play Therapist/Supervisor (#S1960).
Karla has been working in the mental health field for over 13 years. Although she is originally from El Salvador,
and her native language is Spanish, she fluently bilingual.
Karla feels comfortable working with children and adolescents and knows that it is necessary to guide parents to improve their family relationship by helping them understand their children's specific emotional and psychological needs. Karla likes to help families implement interventions with compassion and efficacy. Families, especially parents, must
have adequate and suitable techniques to work with their children to help with a healthy emotional environment.
Karla treats children through play therapy and other psychodynamic techniques and interventions to help them express their feelings, solve problems, and build skills. That way, they can bring to light negative communication patterns in their families. Moreover, this will guide her to discover problem-solving techniques and strategies
to meet their psychological needs.
