Daniela Flores Rosales, LPC

Biography
I am a bilingual psychotherapist and educator with a passion for fostering inclusive, culturally responsive counseling practices. My professional journey has been shaped by a commitment to supporting diverse and underserved populations, both in Mexico and the United States. With over 15 years of clinical experience across private practice, community mental health, and academic settings, I have developed expertise in trauma-informed care, relational and psychoanalytic psychotherapy, mindfulness, and integrative therapeutic approaches. My teaching philosophy emphasizes bridging theory and practice, encouraging students to develop reflective, ethical, and compassionate clinical skills.
Currently, I serve as an Adjunct Professor at Fairfield University, where I teach Lifespan Development and DBT skills and as an External Clinical Consultant at The Center for Family Justice, focusing on Spanish-speaking survivors of domestic violence. I also maintain a private practice and direct the Center for Therapeutic Change in Norwalk, CT. My research interests include cultural humility (particularly the intersection between immigration, trauma, bilingualism and mental health), supervision, and the integration of relational theory in clinical practice. I am dedicated to nurturing the next generation of mental health professionals with an emphasis on advocacy, community engagement, and a commitment to diversity.
