Hello, I'm Paula Medina. I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. As an Ecuadorian Latina, I have extensive experience working with the Latinx community and am deeply passionate about uplifting and empowering its members.
In addition to my social work background, I am a Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor Trainee (CASAC-T), which allows me to provide specialized support to individuals battling addiction. My goal is to help you overcome barriers and live a fulfilling life.
I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where we can work together to address your unique challenges and foster personal growth. Whether you are dealing with trauma, anxiety, addiction, navigating life transitions, or seeking to improve your mental health, I am here to support you on your journey.
