ImTT Trauma Therapy for Veterans & First Responders in Arizona
Arizona is home to over 500,000 veterans, three major Air Force installations, and one of the most active retirement veteran communities in the Southwest. Dr. Flores provides ImTT therapy via PSYPACT telehealth — serving veterans in Phoenix, Tucson, Yuma, Sierra Vista, and across the state.
Specialized ImTT Trauma Care — Available Across Arizona
Dr. Flores is a nationally recognized ImTT trainer and trauma psychologist offering Image Transformation Therapy for combat PTSD, moral injury, military sexual trauma, first responder trauma, and narcissistic abuse. ImTT achieves rapid, durable results without requiring detailed verbal narration of traumatic events — making it the modality of choice for veterans and first responders who have found other treatments intolerable, retraumatizing, or simply ineffective.
All Arizona services are delivered via PSYPACT-authorized telehealth. You do not need to travel. You need a secure video connection, a private space, and an hour.
Arizona Military Context
Arizona's veteran community spans from retired officers in Scottsdale to active-duty families at Luke and young combat veterans in rural communities without access to specialty care. Maricopa County alone has over 200,000 veterans — more than many US states.
Military installations served: Luke AFB (56th Fighter Wing), Davis-Monthan AFB (A-10 & AMARC), and Fort Huachuca (Army Intelligence Center).
Who Benefits Most from ImTT
- Combat veterans with persistent flashbacks that have not responded to EMDR, CPT, or Prolonged Exposure
- Veterans who cannot tolerate narrative exposure — who find detailed verbal recounting destabilizing or culturally incongruent
- First responders with occupational PTSD — law enforcement, firefighters, EMS, dispatchers — who need a focused, results-oriented approach
- Veterans with moral injury — the specific wound of having done, witnessed, or failed to prevent something that violates a deep moral code
- High-functioning veterans and first responders — officers, senior NCOs, command-level first responders — who need an intensive approach rather than open-ended exploratory therapy
- Veterans who have tried everything and are looking for a different pathway
Dr. Flores has specific clinical experience with: combat PTSD, aviation trauma, intelligence community burnout, first responder PTSD.
PSYPACT Telehealth — What It Means for Arizona Residents
PSYPACT (Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact) is a multi-state licensure agreement that allows licensed psychologists to practice across state lines via telehealth. Dr. Flores is PSYPACT-authorized, which means she can legally provide therapy to residents of Arizona without requiring a separate AZ-specific license.
There are no geographic restrictions on who she can serve within Arizona. Rural residents, those in areas without local trauma specialists, and those who prefer the privacy and convenience of telehealth are all equally eligible.
ImTT Intensive Programs
Many veterans and first responders cannot commit to weekly outpatient therapy. Dr. Flores offers ImTT intensive programs — concentrated 2-day or 3-day programs delivered entirely via PSYPACT telehealth that achieve more processing than months of weekly sessions. You do not need to come to New Orleans. You need three focused days and a reliable connection.
