Lakisha Medina, LCSWA

I am a licensed therapist who loves working with adolescents, adults, families, and couples. I believe that everyone, at some point, experiences challenges, struggles, barriers and/or stressors that prevent them from functioning at their highest potential or finding happiness. I can help you build the skills and strategies you need to navigate life challenges and find happiness.

I hold the view that each individual is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. As a military veteran, I understand vividly the unique experiences and sacrifices that come with mental health treatment. Together, we will develop a personalized strategy that considers your goals, values, and preferences. I see you as the true expert in your life, and my role is to guide, support and empower you along the way.

As a therapist, I provide a compassionate, safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space where you are able to share and explore your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. This is necessary for healing, change, and growth. I am a good listener who will help you resolve what prevents you from enjoying life or functioning at your best capacity.

Do not hesitate to reach out if you are feeling anxious, depressed, stressed, or overwhelmed and need someone to talk to. I can also help if you have other symptoms preventing you from enjoying life or performing at your best capacity at school, work, or home. Call now to schedule!
