About Sanja

A therapist who helps you understand yourself — deeply and lastingly.

Sanja Medich is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and the founder of Therapy Journey, with over 40 years of clinical experience. Her practice is grounded in psychoanalytic therapy — one of the most intellectually rich and clinically proven approaches in the field. Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, psychoanalytic work explores the underlying patterns, early experiences, and unconscious dynamics that quietly shape your choices, relationships, and sense of self. The result is not just relief — it is genuine, lasting transformation. Sanja trained in Belgrade, Arizona and New York and has practiced in New York City for 15 years, working with professionals, executives, and individuals who are ready to do serious, meaningful work on themselves.

How it works
You are in charge.

A clear, compassionate process — from first call to lasting change.

Therapy should feel like a journey you're in charge of - not something that happens to you. Here's what to expect when you work with me.

The process
A brief phone conversation to see if we're a good fit. You ask questions. No pressure.
Your first session — you decide how far you want to go and what you want to work on.
Ongoing therapy — individual or family — incorporating techniques tailored to your specific life story.
The ending is a beginning. When therapy concludes, you carry tools with you. The goal is always your independence.
