Desiree Medina

My clients describe me as:

Being direct, but with compassion. Client's appreciate my ability to be authentic with them that helps them take accountability to increase growth.

Something to know about my approach is:

I understand the importance of active listening and providing validation. Utilizing strength-based, solution-focused, mindfulness, and emotionally-focused approaches towards therapy is essential in order to provide unique care for each individual.

Together, we will:

Curate a therapeutic relationship, which I believe is the main key towards success in a client’s journey. We will explore destructive patterns that have had a negative impact on your life and learn tools to guide your thought process.

I specialize in working with people who:

need help understanding how their upbringing directly shapes or impacts them as an adult. Additionally, I specialize in helping couples, in conflict, learn how to communicate in a healthy way, while also learning how to regulate their emotions.

I became a therapist because:

I have experienced therapy myself and seen how much positive progress can come from it.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

is it is virtual! Because my services are virtual, it offers us the ability to be flexible in our location, while also maintaining a rapport.

More about me and my practice:

I have been described as direct but with compassion. I am direct with what I notice and am hearing to help the client better understand their situation together. This can feel prickly, making our collaborative relationship an important aspect.
