Washington, D.C. Military Context
Washington D.C. area veterans and IC personnel operate at the highest levels of strategic and operational decision-making. The moral weight of these decisions — and the operational tempo that comes with proximity to national leadership — creates a specific trauma profile. The D.C. metro area (including Northern Virginia and Maryland) is one of the largest concentrations of active duty, veteran, and intelligence community personnel in the world.
Military installations served: The Pentagon, Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling (Air Force / Navy), Fort Lesley McNair, and Walter Reed National Military Medical 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: senior leader moral injury, intelligence community operational stress, combat PTSD, executive burnout, policy-level trauma.
PSYPACT Telehealth — What It Means for Washington, D.C. 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 Washington, D.C. without requiring a separate DC-specific license.
There are no geographic restrictions on who she can serve within Washington, D.C.. 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.
