“I highly recommend Daylyn as a therapist. She is incredibly supportive, genuine, and provides a safe space for open conversations. Her bedside manner is excellent—she listens attentively and offers valuable insights without judgment.
It took time to find the right therapist, it was absolutely worth the wait. Short wait time for appointments and convenient session times.

Getting to know Daylyn Bhavsar-Padilla
Daylyn is a dedicated Mental Health Therapist specializing in providing evidence-based, trauma-informed care. With a multimodal therapeutic approach, she integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Expressive Arts Therapy (EAT), among others, to empower individuals and foster resilience. Her practice is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves person-driven care, meeting individuals where they are on their journey.
Daylyn earned her Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Mercy University, building on her foundational education with a Bachelor's degree from the same institution. Before pursuing clinical mental health counseling, she spent 17 years working in human services in conjunction with New York City DHS in the non-profit sector, developing and implementing consumer-centered programs to address gaps in care. Her background includes forensic case management for individuals with behavioral health and chemical addictions, vocational counseling, COBRA case management, and a focus on supporting unhoused populations. This work illuminated the systemic barriers preventing individuals from accessing the care they need, which inspired her passion for mental health counseling.
Daylyn has focused on supporting individuals with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Anxiety, Adjustment Disorder (AD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD). Her approach emphasizes personalized interventions that build resilience and foster growth, with a commitment to creating a safe and inclusive therapeutic environment for diverse populations. She particularly enjoys helping clients discover their creative sides through expressive arts, unlocking the potential for self-expression and healing-even in those who doubt their creativity.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
When working with me, you can expect a warm, collaborative, and supportive process tailored to your unique needs. We usually start with an initial assessment where I’ll listen carefully to understand your current challenges, goals, and background. Together, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan that reflects your priorities and preferences.
Throughout our sessions, I use evidence-based approaches to help you build skills, process experiences, and make meaningful changes. I check in regularly to review your progress and adjust our plan as needed, ensuring the work we do stays relevant and effective.
My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered. Outside of therapy, I bring creativity and dedication from my personal interests and community work into my practice, helping to foster resilience and hope.
I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward greater well-being.
