Getting to know Yolanda Medina

Hi there, I'm Yolanda! My name is Yolanda Medina, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#147007) and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (#17546). I earned my Master's in Counseling Psychology from California Baptist University. My goal in therapy is to provide a safe therapeutic space where you can accomplish your mental health goals and learn new ways to improve your happiness and well-being. My approach I believe I utilize client-centered Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and a Solution-Focused Therapy approach. I provide an empathic and safe space for clients to express themselves while guiding them to find the best approach to resolve their mental health concerns. My focus I work with adults who are experiencing depression, grief, anxiety, and other mood-related concerns. Additionally, I enjoy helping those who are going through stressful life transitions or have experienced traumatic events. My communication style I work from a client-centered approach, which means that I give my clients space to talk about what matters most to them. I believe clients are the experts in their lives, and I join them in finding ways to approach their concerns in a way they feel productive. My journey to mental healthcare From a young age, I knew I wanted a career where I could help others. I have always found human psychology interesting, and I married the two by becoming a therapist. What drives me to do this work is seeing my clients make progress in their goals and feel better. My goals for you I like to discuss what clients would like to gain from their therapy experience and together come up with realistic goals they can accomplish during their time in therapy. My first session with you During the first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy and what you would like to gain from it. We will explore your biopsychosocial history and create goals for therapy.
