Jacqueline Medina

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of New York. I've been practicing therapy for over 5 years. I have experience working with individuals of many demographic backgrounds. I've worked with a variety of presenting needs: bipolar disorders, anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, trauma, life changes, internal struggles, self-esteem, personal growth, anger, stress, communication, and interpersonal issues. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients become the best version of themselves.

I utilize person-centered therapy to provide clients with the opportunity to share their input regarding their treatment journey and embark on this journey at their pace. I also take the time to learn about the various aspects of my client’s life and how this impacts their therapeutic needs. In addition, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to provide a safe space to explore the clients’ presenting needs and assist them in developing coping skills that are effective for them.

I believe each individual has their own unique story to tell. Therefore, I begin by getting to know my clients, in order to build a therapeutic alliance based on trust. I aim to help my clients gain more self-awareness and self-acceptance by highlighting the client's strengths and building on their successes.
