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.

Previous experience with clients was in psychiatric hospitals, outpatient clinics, in schools and in homes. He feels privileged to share the journey of many people on their journey to wellness as they learn to manage mental illness, difficult relationships or other events in their lives. Roy feels that the sense of being heard and understood is an essential component to effective treatment and understanding what approaches best suit an individual or family. He believes that change comes from learning to maximize strengths and increasing ability to see beyond what feels limiting.  

Roy works with children as young as age 6+, families, and individuals with learning and cognitive differences, chronic mental health conditions, depression, anxiety and more. Roy utilizes mindfulness, CBT, psychoeducation and experiential strategies to help clients experience change toward meeting their goals. 

I am a licensed professional counselor associate, LPC Associate who is under the supervision of John Joslin LPC-S, with 2 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, life transitions, and the stress of uncertainty. I work with individuals who may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves and are seeking greater clarity, balance, and emotional understanding. I tailor sessions to each client, creating space for reflection, curiosity, and practical tools that support growth and emotional awareness.

I earned my master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Louisiana. My approach is collaborative and strengths-based, incorporating mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, existential therapy, and child-centered play therapy.

If you’re feeling uncertain, stuck, or navigating a season of change, you don’t have to do it alone. Counseling can provide a space to slow down, reflect, and move forward with intention.
