Marisa Padilla

I provide therapy to Gen Z and Millennial folks navigating relationship anxiety, people-pleasing, and dating insecurity so they can feel more confident and secure in their relationships. My clinical experience involves work across ages, cultural backgrounds, and settings including: outpatient clinics, intensive outpatient programs (IOP), partial hospitalization programs (PHP), and community outreach. I have been in the field of mental health for nearly 10 years, serving individuals both in-person and via telehealth.

For the past 5 years I’ve specialized in supporting young adults who feel stuck in cycles of overthinking, fear of rejection, difficulty speaking up about their needs, or unhealthy relationship patterns. I am committed to providing thoughtful and intentional care so you feel comfortable to talk through your experiences, while showing up as your authentic self each time. As a Black and Latinx therapist, creating a safe and inclusive space is a top priority for me!

Now more than ever, individuals are feeling challenged in building and maintaining healthy connections, letting go of unhelpful relationship patterns, and navigating relationship conflicts and changes. Whether you are navigating divorce, people-pleasing behaviors, low self-esteem, or boundary setting, I'm here to guide you toward emotional security and confidence in your relationships.
