Getting to know Elisa Padilla

My name is Elisa Padilla, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master's in Social Work from California State University, Los Angeles. I understand the vulnerability required to ask for support, and I approach therapy with kindness, openness, compassion, humility, and respect. I create a space to address the heaviness of being human while also seeing the light and freedom that come from bravely addressing emotional wounds. My approach I use an integrated approach drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Harm Reduction, Motivational Interviewing, and Strength-Based Therapy. My interventions are tailored to your needs and goals, reflecting your journey toward greater emotional depth and self-awareness. My focus I work with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, self-worth and self-esteem issues, life transitions (e.g., role change, relocation), grief and loss (e.g., divorce, death of a loved one), and caregiver burnout. My communication style My style is unpretentious, kind but direct, aiming to attune to your needs and establish conversational reciprocity. I practice deep listening to engage you fully and make it easier to talk about hard things. My journey to mental healthcare Working in a community-based mental health clinic inspired me to become an LCSW after witnessing the resilience, growth, and healing people experience with proper support. As a therapist, I aim to empower clients as they navigate adversity and challenges. My goals for you I take a collaborative approach to goal setting, valuing your participation. Goals should reflect the personal growth you seek to cultivate in therapy.
