My Story
I’m Jessica! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist & Supervisor in Texas. I have a Master’s Degree from Our Lady of the Lake University & a Bachelor’s from the University of Houston.
I am a proud daughter of immigrants, and one of my favorite things about what I do is that I get to be a therapist who represents for fellow First and Second Gens, people of color, and those breaking generational trauma. Yes, we are made from different cloth & we are strong. But even strong people need help. It’s something I’ve had to learn, and it means a lot to be able to be the bridge for you to learn it too.
I absolutely love what I do. I would describe my style as warm, direct, and encouraging. Sessions with me feel like conversations where we go back and forth - processing, learning, deconstructing, and reconstructing meaning. My goal is to create an environment for you to express yourself freely & grow at your own pace. My goal is for you to feel like the badass that you are!
Meet Grecia
Marriage and Family Therapist Intern, Supervised by Jessica Medina
Hi! I’m Grecia Mascorro, a Marriage and Family Therapist Intern greatly devoted to supporting individuals, couples, young adults, and families through life’s challenges. I am here to offer guidance and understanding during difficult life transitions and assist your process to building, repairing, and maintaining relationships with the people in your life.
I find purpose in helping others recognize the power they have to make meaningful and lasting change in their lives through dedicated support, understanding, and encouragement.
I was born and raised in south Texas and grew up on both sides of the U.S. and Mexico border. I have lived in Houston for about 15 years and graduated from the University of St. Thomas with a B.A. in Psychology and Political Science, prior to pursuing my graduate degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. In addition to my professional commitments, I love spending time with family and friends, traveling, and caring for animals.
Guiding principals
Personalized Approach
Every individual, couple, and family is different. What may work someone may not work for another. Here, a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy doesn’t exist. You’ll receive an individualized experience that takes your values, ideas, and opinions into account. The goal is to truly hear your needs, take them into consideration and use an approach that best works for you.
Strength Based
While getting to know the problem is important, knowing what is working in your life is just as valuable. A strength-based perspective gives us the opportunity to learn what you can do instead of what you can’t. Together we will discover your existing strengths and explore how they can be maximized to your benefit to create the change that you are looking for.
Collaborative
Feeling heard and seen matters here. My goal is for you to have a life changing therapy experience. Your feedback is encouraged along the way to know what works for you and what doesn’t. This helps include you in the process and gauge your progress. The goal is to always work on my approach in any area to continue meeting your therapy needs.
Some frequent FAQs
-
Therapy is a great resource to anyone seeking to improve their well being. Often people believe that therapy is only for those with serious mental health concerns or people who have reached some kind of rock bottom. But actually, therapy is for all kinds of challenges. Therapy for someone struggling with depression will just look different than therapy for a couple who wants to get a long better. I work a lot with first timers to therapy and I understand how scary it can be to start. If you are still curious if therapy is for you, send us an email!

Therapy is an investment and you should work with someone that you connect with. A therapist that understands you, respects your values, and that takes their time to listen to your needs. Initial phone consultations are a great opportunity for you to get a feel of whether or not the connection is there.
-
There’s no single “right” answer — everyone is different, and it truly depends on the situation. Some people come in with one specific goal, while others develop new goals as they progress and achieve their original ones.
I encourage clients to pay attention to the feeling of “I’ve got this. I’m okay on my own.” That’s often a strong indicator that therapy has served its purpose.
-
That is up to you! I trust my clients to schedule the frequency that best fits their current needs.
You may want to come in more to deal with a recent challenge or spread out sessions due to the change you are seeing.
Regardless we will always be in communication about what is feeling right for you.
-
Sessions are available in person and online. You can choose either or, as well as have a combination of both.
