Hi, I'm Deanna Padilla and I'm so proud of you for taking this first step towards your healing journey. My focus is to meet you where you are. I've been working as a therapist since 2019 and I licensed in the state of California. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and I have a Masters in Guidance and Counselor from California State University San Bernardino.
My approach is to help people better understand what they're feeling, thinking, and experiencing in their day-to-day life. I work with individuals who need additional support and guidance.In this experience, we are working together.
Common approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused, Narrative Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy.
The first session is the most formal of all the sessions, as this is where we're information-gathering: learning about you and some of the challenges you're experiencing. With this information we'll come up with a running diagnosis and create goals; this is your treatment plan.
