Dr. Heather Flores

CHRISTIAN COUNSELING & STATE-LICENSURE: At 805 Counseling and Consulting, LLC we do not diagnose or "treat" any mental health issue or problem, and should such a need arise, we will refer out to licensed practitioners. We lead, guide, and coach according to biblical doctrine. We provide faith-based counseling and life coaching, specifically Christian, to clients who are paired with counselors who may or may not hold mental health license(s) in one or more states. As providers of religious based counseling, the services we provide require no government licensure at the state or federal level. Religious based counseling is not regulated by the government by virtue of the free exercise clause of the first amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Although not required for providing religious-based counseling, 805 Counseling & Consulting, LLC believes the education and experience standards for professional licensure are valuable benchmarks for the training of counselors and life coaches. Thus, our internal screening process is structured to recruit and hire only staff who distinguish themselves as spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically set apart in both experience and training. We also encourage and assist our counselors in pursuit of licensure in the states they physically reside.
