Alicia Medina, LMFT

Alicia Medina, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Alicia! My name is Alicia Medina, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Southern California, providing telehealth services statewide. I hold a Master's in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University. I am committed to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion and clinical expertise. I offer a supportive and non-judgmental space in both Spanish and English, where clients can work through various mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My approach My approach to therapy is meeting each individual where they are and providing unconditional support. I emphasize collaboration, helping clients build the skills they need to overcome obstacles and find a path to emotional well-being. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which allows me to guide clients toward goals that improve their lives and relationships, build resiliency, and gain skills throughout their therapeutic journey. My focus I have found that my approach works well with clients who identify as emotionally sensitive and have a predisposition for emotional vulnerability. This often includes disorders such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and borderline personality disorder. My work with clients facing these challenges is marked by empathy and a commitment to helping them achieve lasting change and foster a more meaningful life. My communication style My communication style is calm, authentic, and approachable. I emphasize a collaborative work stance and strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable being transparent without fear of judgment. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a therapist started as a client. I was inspired by my own therapeutic experience to become a therapist and serve clients who were once in my shoes.
