Jose Medina, LCSW

Jose Medina, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Jose! My name is Jose Medina, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I earned my Master's in Social Work from California State University, Bakersfield. Throughout my career, I have worked with diverse age groups and utilized a range of treatment modalities to best serve my clients. My sessions focus on mental health education, raising awareness, building on strengths, and empowering clients while tailoring the approach to the most appropriate treatment modality for each individual. **My approach** I draw from Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focus, and Psychodynamic Therapy to adapt my work to each individual's needs. I place great importance on being fully present with my clients, adopting a client-centered approach that prioritizes active listening, empathy, and unconditional support to gain a deeper understanding of their unique needs, experiences, and perspectives. **My focus** I've worked with diverse age groups, particularly young adults. Common areas of focus include navigating life transitions, managing stress and anxiety, relationships, family conflict, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, career pressures, burnout, communication issues, and supporting mental health challenges such as depression. **My communication style** My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can build trust and feel comfortable expressing themselves. I emphasize that their thoughts and feelings are always welcome, and I actively listen and engage to foster a genuine connection. **My journey to mental healthcare** I chose this career because it aligns with my values and passion for helping others. I am passionate about making a positive impact, guiding people through challenges, and supporting their growth and well-being. Contributing to others' lives in such a meaningful way is a privilege.
