Erika Padron, LMHC

Licensed in: New York
Licensed Counselor
Years of Experience: 4 years

I am passionate about helping people overcome their mental health struggles and lead fulfilling lives. As a mental health professional, I am committed to providing compassionate support, guidance, and resources to individuals facing challenges.

Specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, and PTSD, my goal is to empower you to navigate your emotional and psychological struggles confidently.

I embrace a holistic approach to mental wellness that encompasses the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit. Prioritizing overall wellbeing by addressing all aspects of a person, rather than solely focusing on symptom management, I will empower you to recognize and leverage your own innate abilities to foster growth and resilience.

Every person is unique, and I firmly believe in tailoring treatment plans to your specific needs, strengths, and goals — well as considering the influence of intersecting factors such as culture, identity, and socioeconomic status on your mental health. A collaborative partnership is built on mutual trust and respect! I prioritize lifelong learning and growth via ongoing education, self-reflection, and professional development.
