About

**** THANK YOU FOR BOOKING WITH DESIREE MEDINA. WITHIN 48 HOURS FROM BOOKING, YOU WILL BE CONTACTED BY OUR ADMINISTRATIVE TEAM TO COMPLETE A 5-10 MINUTE PRE-SCREEN. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO REACH YOU, YOUR APPOINTMENT WILL BE CANCELED. **** I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker experienced in working with individuals struggling with Anxiety, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress, Depression, and Complicated Grief. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I understand the importance of a non-judgmental space where individuals can be, and grow into, their true selves. I am passionate about my work and have been in the field of social work for 6 years. My approach is best described as eclectic and client-centered, which allows me to tailor each working relationship to best suit my client's needs. Growing up in a community where I saw limited access to mental health care and witnessed a lot of shame surrounding mental health challenges, I recognized the need for services that are accessible. It is very important to me as a biracial, genderqueer individual to provide services to individuals who can feel heard and represented.
