About Emily Medina

Life Can Feel Unpredictable 

We try to live lives that make sense and matter to us, but life changes can make you question who you are, what life is about, your expectations for the future, and your relationships.

Life Is Messy

Our experiences are messy, feelings are messy, and we all do what we can to make it through.

Maybe you are feeling stuck in a rut, or are overwhelmed after simple interactions, and you can’t understand why.

Maybe you step away from work or school to cry most days, and struggle to understand or express your emotions.

Imagine for a moment what life could be like if you weren’t just making it through. What life could look like if you were able to feel those feelings and no longer felt controlled by depression, body image, substance abuse, or anxiety.

That life is possible! Whatever your current struggle is, I am confident we can partner together to make the changes you are looking for. 

 

Support Can Make a Difference 

I use a compassionate, yet direct approach to help clients gain insight into patterns that have them feeling “stuck”. I use evidence-based approaches, such as CBT, Solution Focused Therapy and EMDR, so you can make the long-term behavior changes that will put you on the right track. 

 
My clients have struggled with a range of issues, many of which have their roots in anxiety, trauma, or relationship stress. I believe that getting to know how you got here is key to knowing who you are and where you should go.
 
My name is Emily Medina, LMFT, and I’m glad you’re here. Providing support to individuals working to heal trauma, and navigating through major life transitions is what I love to do. I have a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and have worked in this field with individuals and families for several years. My commitment as a therapist is to assist clients like you in creating an emotional, mental, physical and spiritual balance through whatever storm you may be walking though.
