Dr. Padilla
I have over 10 years experience working with adult male and females experiencing various problems with severe mental disorders as a licensed psychologist. I am well experienced with treatment planning for various mental health programs, identifying treatment outcomes, and assessing and treating patients in support of their recovery.

Other experiences include diagnostic evaluations, structured clinical interviews, intake assessments, crisis / emergency response services, and individual therapy.
