Juan Medina, LCSW
About me
Finding peace and healing requires grit, hard work, self-compassion, forgiveness, and often complete surrender. My name is "Johnny" Medina, and as a psychotherapist, I would love to walk with you along this journey. I hope that you walk away from each session feeling heard, appreciated, and understood. Of course, when you are ready, I would love to give some professional and personal insight when appropriate. My job is to earn your trust.
As a man, husband, and stepfather, I, too, have struggled and still struggle through many aspects of life. I am far from having all the answers, BUT my education and experiences have given me perspectives that may be helpful to your current stage of life. As a former U.S. Marine, mechanic, probation, and correctional officer, I have seen scores of hurts, failures, and successes that life can give. Now, after a decade of studies coupled with seven years of practice as a psychotherapist who specializes in trauma-informed care, I may be the person who may shed some light on an often darkened and discouraging path we walk. Life is not meant to be forged alone, and sometimes we need to be reminded how strong and capable we are. I would love to help.
