Alisha Padilla

Therapist

Virtual • New York


For over 10 years, I have worked alongside individuals navigating some of life's most difficult challenges, including trauma, addiction, incarceration, anxiety, depression, low self-worth, and major life transitions. These experiences have taught me that healing happens when people feel safe, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.

I believe that our past experiences often shape how we see ourselves and the world around us. Together, we can explore the beliefs and patterns that may be keeping you stuck, process difficult experiences, and build a stronger foundation for the future. My style is warm, collaborative, and direct, providing both support and gentle challenge as you work toward your goals.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready for a new chapter, I am committed to meeting you where you are and helping you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and self-compassion.

Therapy is a collaborative journey. Together, we’ll explore the patterns in your life, uncover your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you move forward with confidence. My approach blends evidence-based methods—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care—with a deep respect for your individual story and pace.

I believe therapy works best when it’s built on trust and partnership. You bring your experiences and willingness to grow; I bring my expertise, empathy, and professional training. Together, we create a safe, supportive space where real change can happen.
