Luna Medina-Wolf, LMHC, Founder

Making the decision to contact a therapist can be challenging. It can be scary and requires a certain level of vulnerability. I understand that because I experienced the same feelings when I was looking for a therapist. I wanted to make sure the person I worked with would be the right fit for me - not only based on their education and training, but also on whether I could connect with them personally.

My name is Luna Medina-Wolf, and I am the founder of Helping Moon Counseling, a family-owned mental health virtual counseling practice. After several years of maintaining my own private practice, my husband and I decided to expand the business so we could help more people. We carefully built our team of licensed therapists, registered interns and student interns, and we work together to help clients find the therapist and support that best fit their individual needs.

My Approach

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with individuals, experiencing different challenges that can contribute to emotional pain, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship difficulties, and other mental health concerns.

I have a particular passion for helping people who have experienced trauma. If you are looking for a trauma-focused therapist who will be direct, supportive, and committed to helping you move forward, I may be a good fit for your needs.

My approach draws from several therapeutic theories and modalities. I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Trauma Incident Reduction (TIR) to help process traumatic experiences. I also incorporate motivational approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused approaches, and self-help resources.

Focusing solely on working with people who are interested in EMDR intensive and more short-term focused, intense work. My therapeutic approach begins by exploring thoughts and feelings in a safe and respectful environment where clients can feel appreciated and heard. I believe that change is possible and that clients have the ability to learn skills that can help them improve their lives.

I also believe in taking a holistic approach to well-being and recognizing the relationship between mind, body, and spirit.

  • Trauma and traumatic experiences
  • Anxiety
