Getting to know Sharon Medina
Hi there, I'm Sharon!
My name is Sharon Medina, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's in Social Work from Fordham University. I provide supportive counseling to those struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, ADHD, and other mental health issues using a combination of approaches tailored to each person's needs. I do not use a one-size-fits-all approach because we are all unique individuals with unique needs.
My approach
My approach to therapy is a mix of curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. I use an eclectic, evidence-based approach to meet the needs of my clients. This often includes Trauma-Informed Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to meet clients where they are and help them move toward where they want to go. I truly believe that we are the experts in our own lives but sometimes need others to support us along the way.
My focus
In recent years, I have primarily worked with ?high functioning? professional young adults and millennials facing life stressors such as work stress, burnout, interpersonal and intimate relationship challenges, and low self-esteem or self-worth often linked to a need to people-please and difficulty setting healthy boundaries. I have experience working with all age groups and a variety of mental health conditions. The most common issues I treat include anxiety, depression, stress, bipolar disorder, ADHD/ADD, neurodiversity, and other mood disorders. Symptoms may include overthinking, fatigue, feeling out of control, emotional outbursts, sadness, low motivation, and difficulty with time management.
My communication style
I blend compassion and intuition with a bit of ?tough love? when needed to support my clients. I am upbeat, open-minded, caring, and kind in my approach. I believe we are meant to thrive, not merely survive.
