I believe healing begins with feeling genuinely seen, understood, and supported as you reconnect with your strengths and move toward the life you want to create.
Hi, I'm Sayra Medina, a licensed professional counselor with over 15 years of experience in the behavioral health field. I believe most people are doing the best they can with the tools, experiences, and stories they have been given. My role is not to tell clients who they should be, but to help them better understand who they are. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and trauma. Together, we create a space for self-discovery, healing, and meaningful growth.
I believe healing is not always found through words alone. Drawing from play therapy, experiential techniques, and evidence-based practices, I create opportunities for clients to explore, reflect, and learn in ways that feel engaging and meaningful. My goal is to help clients gain insight, strengthen resilience, and move toward lasting growth.
Whatever brings you to therapy, I believe meaningful change begins with the courage to show up and the willingness to be curious about your own story. If you are ready to take that next step, I look forward to creating a space where you can explore, heal, and grow at a pace that feels right for you.

My go-to approach to family therapy is to identify the strengths the family brings to therapy to help them address their weaknesses.
I teach the fundamentals in healthy communication to promote family cohesion.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in family therapy when each family member is able to express their feelings about each other.
Clients can supplement their time in family therapy with planning family meetings to discuss new ways to approach challenges.
To prepare for their first family session, an individual can make a list of things that need improvement in their family.
Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Odessa, TX usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Odessa, TX offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
The writer and preacher Frederick Buchner once stated, “You can kiss your family and friends good-bye and put miles between you, but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach, because you do not just live in a world but a world lives in you.” We carry our families with us throughout our lives, whether or not we keep in close contact with them. Our formative years with our families influence how we see the world, how we interact with others, how we model our own intimate relationships. And so it’s essential that we keep families running as smoothly as possible because they have an impact throughout our lifetimes. That’s where family therapy can come into play.
