Leticia Padilla

My communication style

I practice open and clear communication to provide a supportive and accepting environment. I practice empathic listening and allow you to express feelings, mood, and thoughts freely.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into therapy began with a deep interest in the human mind and behaviors. Working with patients who benefitted from trauma-focused therapy and evidence-based interventions convinced me to become a therapist. I believe people are motivated to achieve positive psychological functioning through self-exploration and personal growth.

My goals for you

I look forward to building a strong therapeutic relationship with you, setting therapy goals, and developing a plan together. We will monitor and adjust your progress with regular check-ins. We can adapt our plan at any time to ensure sessions are meaningful and relevant to you.

Our first session

Our first session will be an opportunity to get to know you. We'll discuss your history and therapy goals. It's normal to feel nervous or anxious about your first appointment. We'll take it one step at a time based on your needs, and I will guide you through each step of the process.
