More about Medina Shah, ASW
Medina Shah is an Associate Clinical Social Worker currently working under the supervision of a licensed practitioner. Their CA license number is 125598, and their current employer is The Wise Mind Institute.
Medina Shah (ASW 125598) earned her Master’s in Clinical Social Work from Columbia University. Her education focused on decolonizing therapy through an anti-oppressive, multicultural lens. Before joining The Wise Mind Institute, she provided therapy to LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and ENM communities at Manhattan Alternative Wellness Collective. Her clinical and personal experiences have shaped her values as a trauma-informed, collaborative practitioner who works effectively with a diverse range of client backgrounds.
Medina offers a holistic approach to therapy, grounded in evidence-based practice and an intuitive flow tailored to her clients’ needs and wants. While her academic specialization is in behavior therapy (DBT & CBT), her approach integrates nervous system regulation (polyvagal theory), somatic, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based modalities, as well as IFS and parts work. She also enjoys incorporating spiritual practice into the therapy space.
Her therapeutic style emphasizes radical self-compassion and imagination to help clients embrace their past, present, and future selves. She balances being validating and warmly challenging so clients can build emotional flexibility and safely “meet their edges.” Medina strives to help clients align with and embody the whole, complete version of themselves that they already are.
She has experience working with neurodiverse clients and those living with personality disorders, complex PTSD, depression, anxiety, intergenerational and religious trauma, ADHD, imbalanced or conflict-oriented relationships, and spiritual challenges.
