We believe healing begins by treating the whole person—not simply managing symptoms. Every treatment plan is personalized, integrating evidence-based psychotherapy with compassion, mindfulness, and nervous system-informed care.
Our goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you can heal from trauma, navigate life’s challenges, strengthen relationships, and cultivate lasting emotional well-being.
Treatment may include:
* Somatic EMDR
* Brainspotting
* Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
* Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
* Solution-Focused Therapy
* Family Systems Therapy
* Mindfulness-Based Interventions
* Compassion-Focused Therapy
At the Center for Self-Compassion and Healing, every interaction is guided by compassion, clinical excellence, and respect for the uniqueness of every individual. We believe healing happens when science, empathy, and human connection come together.
Healing begins with a genuine human connection. Adriana Medeiros, LMFT, combines clinical excellence with warmth, compassion, and a deep respect for each person’s unique journey.
With advanced training in trauma, Somatic EMDR, Brainspotting, and Compassion-Focused Therapy, Adriana integrates evidence-based psychotherapy with mindfulness and nervous system-informed care to help clients heal, grow, and thrive.
Having lived and worked across Brazil, Europe, New York, Silicon Valley, and Los Angeles, Adriana brings a broad cultural perspective and a profound understanding of resilience, change, and the complexities of being human. As a Stanford CCARE Compassion Ambassador and Director of Clinical Services, she is committed to providing thoughtful, personalized care in a safe and collaborative environment.
Whether you are navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, or life transitions, Adriana offers a therapeutic experience grounded in science, compassion and hope.
If you’re here, you’ve already taken one of the hardest steps—reaching out.
I know that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable. My hope is that from our very first conversation, you’ll experience something different: a space where you feel safe, respected, and never judged.
Together, we’ll draw on evidence-based therapy, compassion, and the wisdom of your own mind and body to help you heal, grow, and reconnect with the life you want to live.
Thank you for considering me to be part of your journey. It would be a privilege to walk alongside you.
In kindness,
