McLaughlin Mental Health

Natalie Medina, LCSW

Natalie Medina, LCSW, maintains a therapy practice in Uptown Temecula on Jefferson Avenue, offering individual talk therapy and counseling to adults working through anxiety, depression, relationship strain, life transitions, and trauma. The approach is grounded in established modalities—cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic work, and trauma-informed care—rather than specialized techniques like EMDR or group formats. This is a traditional outpatient setup: scheduled sessions, confidential space, focus on talk-based processing. The practice suits adults who know they need therapy and are ready for a consistent weekly or bi-weekly commitment with a licensed clinical social worker. Insurance acceptance details would need confirmation directly. Medina works with clients navigating difficult periods—job loss, grief, relationship breakdown, past trauma—where sustained one-on-one work is the appropriate fit rather than crisis intervention or psychiatric medication management alone. For someone seeking medication evaluation or group-based addiction recovery, other resources would be the starting point. For individual therapy within established talk modalities, this is the local option in Uptown.
