Marcela Medina, LMHC

Availability: Currently accepting new clients virtually and in person in Plantation and Fort Lauderdale.

Hi I’m Marcela. Do you overthink conversations long after they're over? Struggle to trust people, even when they've given you no reason not to? Feel like you're "too much" one moment and "not enough" the next? Chronic anxiety, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and feeling disconnected from your own emotions can all be signs of complex trauma or attachment wounds — patterns often rooted in early relationships or experiences that never got fully processed. I help clients build self-awareness around their core beliefs, emotions, body sensations, and behaviors, so we can move from surviving to thriving together — honoring both the parts that learned to cope and the parts that are ready to heal.

My therapeutic approach

Rooted in person-centered therapy, I integrate other evidence-based modalities including Betrayal/Relational Trauma work, Mindfulness, Child-Centered Therapy, Attachment Therapy, and EMDR. I believe clients heal when they feel safe, seen, and heard. I'm passionate about creating a space where clients can thrive — offering unconditional positive regard, empathy, compassion, and patience. My goal is a non-judgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and supported on your journey toward growth, healing, and self-discovery.
