Getting to know Catherine Medina

Hi! My name is Catherine Medina, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Virginia. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Florida State University. My goal is to assist people in living their most fulfilling life by resolving the issues that stand in their way. I have extensive clinical training and experience, and I am excited to make a positive difference in your life! My approach I use a combination of approaches based on each client’s unique needs. My primary approaches are trauma-focused, attachment-based, and psychodynamic. I believe many struggles are rooted deeper than we think, and I strive to identify and resolve the root cause so clients can live their best life now and in the future. My focus I primarily work with adults and couples. I have experience with adults of all ages, newlyweds, and people in long-term relationships. My expertise is in treating mood, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, and relationship issues. My communication style I am down-to-earth and believe laughter is part of excellent treatment. I approach people with an open, supportive, and direct style. My goal is for each client to feel comfortable and safe so they can accomplish what is important to them. My journey to therapy I have always been interested in resilience and what lies beneath our behaviors and choices. Humans are complex and simple at the same time. I believe we all have fundamental needs, and I want to help people meet those needs adaptively to be successful, happy, and reach their goals. I love seeing someone do something they didn’t think they could and seeing them smile and laugh! My first session with you In initial sessions, I want to hear what brings a client to therapy and what is foremost on their mind.
