Leticia Padilla, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Leticia!

I am passionate about guiding individuals to find their life goals and to be the best version of themselves.

My focus

I have worked with issues such as Stress, Anxiety, mild depression, and parenting.

My approach

My approach is client-centered. My goal is to support you with empathy and understanding, as well as strength-based, as we navigate towards growth and healing. The theoretical approaches I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

My communication style

It is important for me to create a safe and non-judgmental environment so that clients feel comfortable exploring and sharing.

My journey to mental healthcare

I am passionate about working with children, teens, and families to achieve their life goals. It's rewarding to see individuals grow into the best version of themselves.

My goals for you

I ask the clients about their expectations from therapy. I explore concerns and goals the client wants to achieve.

Our first session

In the first session, clients can expect a collaborative experience where we establish rapport, explore concerns, set goals, and discuss next steps.
