Monica Medor, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Monica!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in San Francisco, California. I work with clients in person throughout the Bay Area and via telehealth statewide. I have been working in this field for ~4 years with a variety of different clients, including children, teens, young adults, and parents.

My focus

I typically work with teens and young adults throughout challenging transition periods. My approach is a good fit for clients struggling with relational issues, anxiety, depression, stress, loss, and self-esteem.

My approach

I am a person-centered therapist, meaning I meet clients where they are and walk alongside them to witness and support them in getting to where they would like to be. I adjust my approach based on my client's needs. I like to use parts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support my clients in challenging and unlearning unhelpful thought patterns.

My communication style

I care deeply about the therapeutic relationship we'll build together. I'm warm, curious, and personable, and I pride myself on providing a non-judgmental space where you feel at ease sharing your unique stories and experiences.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist because I believe in the power of connection and the healing that comes from being truly seen and heard. Supporting people through their challenges and witnessing their growth is deeply meaningful work that continues to inspire me every day.

My goals for you

We'll work together to identify what matters most to you and create a plan that feels right for your needs. I'll support you in building skills and insights that help you navigate challenges with more confidence and clarity, celebrating progress along the way.

Our first session

During our first session, you can expect that we will spend the majority of our time getting to know you and what brought you to therapy! I'll be asking you a variety of questions to help me understand your story before we build a treatment plan. If this is your first time, I am happy to answer any questions you may have about the process as well.
