I work with adults and teens who feel overwhelmed by their thoughts and emotions—those struggling with OCD, anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, constant worry, or harsh self-criticism. Many of my clients feel stuck in cycles of “what ifs,” self-doubt, or pressure to be perfect, leaving them mentally exhausted and disconnected from themselves. They often come to therapy wanting relief from these patterns and a way to feel more in control of their mind and daily life.

CJ Medina, here and you can find me on the GROW, Headway, or BetterHelp Platforms. I am a trauma-informed Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California and Colorado, who has worked with at-risk youth, veterans, and people with disabilities. Though, I primarily work with children, I have worked with adults in many capacities. I would like to have a balance of adults and children in my practice. I can take youth 10 years old and older. Any younger and telehealth is not the medium for me because of the need for direct play. Adults need to access their inner child, too. Bonus: I am a Rodeo Clown. Ask me how?

Hello, and welcome. I am a psychodynamic therapist working with mature adults navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, and longstanding patterns that no longer serve them. In addition to my general practice, I have a particular interest in working with individuals who have struggled with weight across decades and are beginning to understand the role biology plays in appetite, metabolism, and persistent “food noise.” Many thoughtful, capable adults have carried a private struggle with weight. Despite discipline and repeated effort, the cycle of hope, loss, and regain can quietly shape identity and self-worth.

Intervention Therapists
How does an intervention work?
An intervention is a planned, structured meeting in which a person’s family or friends voice concerns about the person’s behavior and its consequences; the goal is for the person to accept treatment. In this meeting, the person’s loved ones (often with the guidance of a trained interventionist) share how the person’s behavior has harmed them and the consequences if the person refuses treatment. They collectively ask the person to accept a proposed treatment plan.
How effective are interventions?
There isn’t extensive research on the efficacy of interventions, in part because success is difficult to measure. Individuals often enter addiction treatment after an intervention, for example, but treatment itself may not work, especially if the person only begins due to external pressure from others rather than due to internal motivation to change. However, if all other attempts at helping someone have failed, an intervention may be worth exploring.
What are the limitations of interventions?
While a friend or family member’s intentions are in the right place in wanting to help a loved one through an intervention, there are significant limitations to the approach. The surprising nature of the event can make the person feel ambushed or judged. They may feel embarrassed or ashamed as a result, and relationships may be strained or broken. This can make it difficult for the individual to be receptive to the concerns of their loved ones and the interventionist.
Are there alternatives to interventions?
Rather than confronting a loved one through an intervention, an effective and less pressured approach is to create space for a caring, open, one-on-one conversation. This works best if the loved one asks open-ended questions, listens attentively to the answers, and frames their observations and statements with concern rather than judgment. More than one conversation may be needed, but change can take root over time.
