Nereida Medina, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Nereida!

I work with adults in individual and couples therapy. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, and relationship conflicts.

My focus

My style and approach are a good fit for young adults and adults who may be dealing with the challenges of life transitions, and couples who are struggling to communicate through ongoing stressors. I work to help my clients navigate these transition periods and to build skills to solve problems.

My approach

My eclectic approach allows for a tailored experience for each individual's needs. I use evidence-based practices, most frequently Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered approaches. These help increase your awareness of self and reframe unhelpful narratives to begin feeling better.

My communication style

My communication style is calm, reflective, and personable. I want you to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, without fear of judgment. I strive to provide a safe and empathetic environment to help you through difficult times, and I enjoy seeing individuals transform into their authentic selves.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting consists of working together to define what you want to accomplish in our time together. This often starts by building rapport and identifying what is at the core of your current struggles. Over time, we will collaboratively set short-term goals and track your progress.

Our first session

It is important for you to feel comfortable with your therapist; hence, the first session is all about building an initial connection. Each individual is different, and I ask questions to obtain an overview of your life and to get to know you better. In our first session, we will talk about what brought you into therapy.
