Ana Raven Medina
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I’m strengths based, compassion centered, and family systems oriented. Are you part of the “sandwich generation” (caring for elders as well as children)? Are you existentially struggling with some kind of loss? What are the tools you already have to bring you JOY?
I’m strengths based, compassion centered, and family systems oriented.
How can we help you negotiate bringing your best self forward?
First session
We’ll introduce ourselves, go over confidentiality, and then dive into what goals you have indicated.
Strengths
I listen deeply and with my heart. I enjoy seeing clients realize their importance and self worth in this world.
Ideal clients
Thoughtful, contemplative, wanting to grow and expand, learning flexibility as well as setting boundaries.
Treatment methods
Strength-Based
I believe you have a little kernel of truth that is whispering to you the tools and skills you have to deal with current circumstances. Sometimes, it just takes a little bit of time to unpack where those skills are residing!
Narrative
As humans, we are story tellers— it gives us a past, makes meaning for the present, and gives us hope for the future— whether you are dreaming or reframing or solidifying a sense of purpose hood. What gives your life meaning?
Grief Therapy
Having worked in hospice for 15+ years, I am sensitive to the many griefs that people carry— whether it’s disenfranchised grief, anticipatory grief, grief due to a loss, or times of transition.
Supportive
My therapeutic work is client centered-- you're in the driver's seat!-- and it's my role to support you in your growth and healing.
