Life can be stressful. Sometimes the stress and challenges of life feel like it is all too much to face on your own. You need and deserve support from an experienced, compassionate and caring professional counselor who can help you experience relief from the stressors of life. I do not provide couples counseling through insurance. I only work with individual adults at this time.

Alisha Padilla

Alisha Padilla

Therapist

Virtual • Georgia


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.
