Marcela Medina, LICSW — Therapist in District of Columbia

Hi there, I'm Marcela!

I am a dedicated and passionate clinician who understands the challenges and difficulties we all face. I am focused on helping my clients achieve their maximum potential. I have successfully helped several clients address different issues, focusing on empowering them to take control of their lives.

My focus

I work with people with co-occurring disorders, depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other mood disorders.

My approach

In my practice, I use EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness.

My communication style

I allow my clients to be just themselves, I create a therapeutic environment where they feel comfortable sharing their story and working to reach their goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

Helping others is the only thing that makes life worth living.

My goals for you

No one knows more about the client than the client themselves; I help them to identify the right coping mechanisms to cope with their symptoms and ultimately reach their goals.

Our first session

I allow my clients to be themselves; I let them know that it is about them and that is what matters.
