Connect with Elizabeth Padilla

I focus on learning who a person is uniquely, and I take an active role in treatment, offering genuine warmth and support as well as practical feedback. I draw from various theoretical approaches but commonly use acceptance commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness and mindful self-compassion, exposure response prevention, and internal family systems. As a licensed clinical social worker I have had the pleasure of working in cities across the United States with a wide range of individuals from a variety of backgrounds.
I work with individuals 18 and older and my areas of special interest include anxiety, OCD, and climate-conscious therapy (support for anxiety/distress about our changing ecosystem). I enjoying helping individuals expand self-trust and ground to personal values in order live a fulfilling life.
I currently see clients in my office at Catalyst Mental Health. More information about myself and Catalyst Mental Health can be found by clicking on the "website" link at the top of this page. The extension for my confidential voice mail at Catalyst Mental Health is extension 733.
