Magnolia Medlin, MA, Professional Counselor Associate
- Do you feel ready to explore and heal what’s getting in the way of you living your most joyful, creative, connected life?
- Is depression keeping you feeling weighed down, dull, and purposeless?
- Is anxiety keeping you on high alert and living from a place of fear and busyness around the clock?
- Are habitual thought-loops and tensions in the body keeping you in a perpetual state of mistrust, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or judgement towards yourself and others?
In my practice, I use a blend of Somatic Experiencing®, Voice Dialogue parts work, and mindfulness-based present-moment inquiry to create a compassionate, curious, and attuned space for inner exploration and healing.
So often, these experiences of depression and anxiety are the result of an impulse getting “stuck” in the system and not being able to fully move, release, and complete its cycle.
In working with me, you will learn how to track and nurture your nervous system and to support life energies to move more freely through your body. When we move from stuckness into flow, depression and anxiety become a thing of the past.
I work with Voice Dialogue Parts Work, a similar approach to Internal Family Systems, to disentangle the knot of different “selves” or competing perspectives that can dominate our lives.
Together, we make space for the critic, the pleaser, the know-it-all, the fearful child, etc etc., and get to know their deeper desires and needs. In our work together, you come to the embodied understanding that you contain these perspectives, but they are not who you are, fundamentally.

I spent two years training at a Buddhist monastery, and I bring a strong flavor of curious, mindful inquiry practice into my work with clients.
My goal is to help you strengthen and increase your awareness of how thoughts, memory-images, and body sensations create your inner reality, and transform liits Into opportunities for something new and wonderful to happen.
With greater awareness comes greater choice, and with greater choice, there is greater freedom, joy, and creativity available in life.
