Ms. Medy holds a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Adelphi University and a Master of Social Work from Yeshiva University. She also completed an Advanced Certification in Child Welfare at Yeshiva University and is a Certified School Social Worker.

Her practice centers on offering a respectful, collaborative space where people can explore concerns and build practical strategies for change.

Evidence-Based Methods and Flexible Online Care

Patunia Medy uses evidence-based techniques tailored to each person's needs. One approach focuses on building practical coping skills - teaching strategies to manage stress, anxiety, sleep challenges, and day-to-day difficulties so clients can regain a sense of control. Another approach is trauma-informed work, which attends to the ways past trauma can affect current feelings and relationships and supports gradual healing at a comfortable pace. A family-focused perspective examines interaction patterns and communication within families, helping members improve connection and resolve conflicts when appropriate.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Ms. Medy collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit best based on their goals, circumstances, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent care around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities, and to maintain momentum between sessions with a licensed professional.
