Marisa Padilla

Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT - Licensed Therapist
Accepting clients Last Updated Yesterday

Hi there! My name is Marisa and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT 136357) based in San Diego, California. I offer individual mental health therapy to folks in their 20s navigating relationship challenges such as relationship anxiety, people-pleasing, self-doubt, breakups, and anxious attachment.

Relationships can be complex. Whether you are looking for support with managing feelings about your family or romantic relationships, setting boundaries, addressing your people pleasing behaviors, or navigating new independence, I'm here to support!

It is my hope that I can provide you with a safe space to be heard, navigate these emotions and challenges, and feel empowered both independently and within your relationships.

My approach to therapy is an encouraging, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive approach blended with humor and creativity that ideally allows space for you to explore emotions, feel encouraged, and develop new insights.

In my free time, I enjoy running along the beach at sunrise or sunset, having a cozy day in, spontaneous picnics in the park, and am currently on the hunt for the best matcha latte in San Diego!

You're welcome to reach out for a free 15 minute call to see if we're a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you!
