Getting to know Medina Ruci

My name is Medina Ruci and I am a Licensed Clinical and Professional Counselor working with adolescents and adults to help manage anxiety, depression, and all other life changes that are stressful. My goal is to help create a warm and nonjudgmental environment, where we can work together to create a meaningful and lasting change.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My style is warm, humorous, and collaborative. I meet clients where they are and create a safe space to explore challenges, gain insight, and build skills. I use evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, and strengths-based techniques. I tailor each session to the individuals needs, blending skill-building, emotional processing, and solution focused strategies to create lasting growth and resilience.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Typical sessions focus on understanding a clients goals, concerns, and what a client would like to gain from therapy. I gather background information and explore all challenges to create a plan tailored to a clients needs. All goals that we set together, will be tackled using strategies from CBT, DBT or other modalities to make progress towards goals. Every session is based on the clients needs for that day, and the client is always in control.
