Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in New Hampshire

I work with clients of all ages facing a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges, including anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, mood difficulties, chronic stress, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are high-functioning on the outside while quietly feeling exhausted, avoidant, or trapped by patterns they can’t seem to change. If something in your life isn’t working, therapy can help.

My approach is relational, client-centered, and trauma-informed, with with particular expertise in contemplative and somatic practices that I am happy to share with my clients in sessions. I am known for being warm, direct and affirming. I am a rostered CPP clinician, and I also have training and experience in CBT, CPT, DBT, EMDR, Exposure Therapy, MBSR, Seeking Safety, MI, SFT, TF-CBT, MATCH, Art Therapy and IFS.

If you’re ready to step out of survival mode and into a more intentional way of living, I’d be glad to work with you.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and serve as the primary psychiatric provider at a residential mental health program in New Hampshire. My professional experience encompasses leadership and direct clinical roles within diverse psychiatric settings, including inpatient psychiatry, emergency psychiatric evaluation, behavioral emergency response, and clinical education.

Earlier in my career, I co‐owned and operated a geriatric dementia respite care program, an experience that continues to inform my measured, compassionate, and patient‐centered approach to care. I am dedicated to the delivery of thoughtful, evidence‐based mental health services that uphold the highest standards of professional practice and are tailored to the individual needs of each client.

Stimulants, Suboxone and Benzodiazepines are prescribed in this practice with DEA guidelines. Dr. Padilla is a Doctor of Nursing Practice from the New York tri-state area and has over 30 years of experience in healthcare. He treats children from 6 years old through adulthood, focusing on psychiatric medication management. He specializes in mental health and has extensive experience in the field of psychiatry. Dr. Padilla takes a “start low and go slow” approach to prescribing, paying special attention to medication potency and potential interactions with other medications prescribed by other providers. Dr. Padilla earned his Doctorate in Clinical Practice Nursing from Rutgers University–New Brunswick. He also holds bachelor’s degrees from Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and the University of Miami, as well as an associate’s degree from Bergen Community College.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) who understands the importance of providing healthcare from a holistic perspective, centered on healing the whole person (mind, body, and spirit). I am certified in working with all ages, from children to the elderly. I can help with anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADHD, ASD, and Schizo-affective disorders. My psychiatric experience includes working in acute care psychiatric hospitals as well as private practice outpatient mental health care.

A client comes in to see her therapist and is 10 minutes late. She sits down and apologizes for her tardiness, to which the therapist replies that no apologies are necessary as clients are only late for their first session.

The vignette illustrates something that I see in clients repeatedly who come into my office. Many should have come in at least a year or two ago but for some reason think that the problems they experience are still manageable.

While I admire the will of many of those who still manage life like the proverbial Dutch Boy and the dike, I believe that asking for help is a strength of its own. In therapy, I come from the perspective of someone that had to receive help at various times in my life. I've also had a meandering career path, meaning that I've worked in several fields and industries prior to becoming a therapist and have been able to do ground-level empathizing with people who work in blue and white-collar professions.

I am an individual and family therapist with over a decade of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and parents navigating challenging behaviors. I specialize in helping clients manage life transitions and cope with symptoms related to Depression, Anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and grief.

Hi. I'm Natalie, and I'm a licensed clinical mental health counselor. I'm very passionate about helping clients process past trauma of different types. I believe that the therapeutic relationship makes the biggest contribution to success in therapy.
