About me
Hello, my name is Yvette Medina, I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Certified Alcohol & Drug Counselor, Certified Anger Management Specialist and life coach from Chicago, Illinois. I have the pleasure of working in this field for 15 years as a therapist in the mental health field focusing on addiction, women's health, parenting, anger management, and conflict resolution, just to name a few of my disciplines. I am able to converse in American Sign Language and conversational English. I have passion for helping people from all diverse backgrounds reach their full potential. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. I can provide spiritual support to many clients that seek this approach.
My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, motivational interview and person centered therapy. I believe in modifying our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
I applaud you on this journey, it takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Yvette Medina. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
I am so grateful to have found Yvette, she has helped us as a couple and individually get through a lot. I feel extremely comfortable talking to her and she is just such a kind and caring human! Thank you Yvette, I will forever be grateful for the support you have given us / me!
Yvette is very caring and kind and has helped us out so much in only a few months. She is very observant and is able to pick up on signals and get you talking about matters. We really look forward to our sessions with Yvette
She's an Angel I'm so glad the universe connected us as nobody gets it like she does she's amazing and she deserves EVERYTHING!!!
Yvette is very attentive and sensitive to the physical and mental health of mine and my fiancé's. She has a structured approach which I like and provide communication practices I can do with my partner.
Yvette’s homework has led to breakthroughs.
She’s great
We love Yvette! We were very worried about not finding someone who would be understanding of our alternative lifestyle/religion, but Yvette made us feel comfortable and understood from the very first session. A very judgment free zone. We highly recommend her.
Yvette is the best. She is always willing to go the extra mile.
Yvette can engage people into the therapy starting from the first session.
Very kind and responsive. She replies at all hours of the day which I love! She is really trying hard to help my partner and I make the best decision for ourselves separately as well as together.
