Confluence Therapy Group was founded on the belief that healing happens where connection begins — where two currents meet and create something stronger.

The word Confluence represents the meeting of two rivers flowing together into one — a powerful image that mirrors the therapeutic process itself. In therapy, this joining may symbolize mind and body, past and present, or therapist and client coming together to move toward healing, growth, and transformation. Just as rivers carve new paths over time, therapy allows us to gently reshape the patterns that no longer serve us, creating space for renewal and restoration.

The practice was also inspired by the Flor de Izote, the national flower of El Salvador — a symbol of resilience and strength. This remarkable plant thrives even in harsh conditions, blooming with grace and beauty regardless of its environment. As a Salvadoran American, Doris chose the Flor de Izote to represent the heart of her work: a reminder that healing is possible no matter where we’ve come from or what we’ve endured.

At Confluence Therapy Group, we believe that each person carries within them the capacity to heal. Through compassionate, trauma-informed care, we seek to honor your story, restore connection between mind and body, and help you rediscover the inner resilience that has always been there — waiting to bloom.
