Melissa Medina

My communication style

My tone and communication is personable, ordinary, easy, and matter of fact. I provide unconditional positive regard, validation, support, and encouragement while at the same time challenging clients in ways to help gain insight or behavior modification.

My journey to mental healthcare

My passion for therapy began when I learned to manage my own anxieties. Embodying a wellness lifestyle promoted my self-love and emotional stability, creating balance and altering my energy. Through self-care, movement, social connection, and travel, I nurture my inner peace and calm.

My goals for you

Setting goals with clients is a collaborative approach. I inquire about their therapeutic goals, what it is they would like to gain or lose, and how they could envision themselves meeting those goals.
