Getting to know Monica Medor

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT#149948) based in San Francisco, California. I work with clients in person throughout the Bay Area and via telehealth statewide. I have been working in this field for approximately four years with a variety of clients, including children, teens, young adults, and parents. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from the University of San Francisco. My approach I am a person-centered therapist, meaning I meet clients where they are and walk alongside them to witness and support their journey toward where they want to be. I tailor my therapeutic approach based on each client’s needs. I often incorporate parts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients challenge and unlearn unhelpful thought patterns, as well as elements of Narrative Therapy to assist clients in creating new stories about themselves. My focus I typically work with teens and young adults navigating challenging transition periods. I’ve found my approach works well for clients struggling with relational issues, anxiety, depression, stress, loss, and self-esteem. My communication style As a relational therapist, I value the therapeutic relationship and alliance we build together. I am warm, curious, and personable. I pride myself on providing a non-judgmental space where clients feel at ease and comfortable sharing their unique stories and experiences. My first session with you During our first session, we will spend most of the time getting to know you and understanding what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask a variety of questions to learn your story before we build a treatment plan. If this is your first time in therapy or you’re feeling nervous, I’m happy to answer any questions you may have about the process.
