Cultural Identities

About Denise Padilla, LCSW

I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. As a first-generation Latina, I understand how cultural identity, family dynamics, and generational expectations can deeply impact our mental health. My goal is to help you break cycles, build resilience, and feel more in control of your story. I earned my master’s degree from the University of Southern California and have spent the last year providing therapy through Rula, focusing on individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, life transitions, and chronic illness. I have a special interest in working through intergenerational trauma, helping clients process inherited stress and patterns that no longer serve them.
