Deborah E. Padilla

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 24 mi away • New Jersey


I bring over 10 years of experience working with individuals and families in both clinical and non-clinical settings. My background includes work in community mental health, outpatient hospitalization programs, and a domestic violence shelter, where I supported those navigating complex life challenges. I have also led and managed my own nonprofit organization, which has given me a broader perspective on community well-being and leadership.

Beyond my clinical work, I remain actively involved in the community through volunteer efforts, serving on boards, and participating in projects that promote mental health and overall well-being. These experiences allow me to bring a thoughtful, real-world perspective to therapy and a strong commitment to helping people navigate meaningful change in their lives.

Misty Shores

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 11 mi away • New Jersey


Welcome! I specialize in evidence-based treatment for anxiety disorders, ADHD, Autism, trauma-related concerns, grief, and life transitions. I work with clients across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, first responders, veterans, and families seeking structured support and meaningful change.

I use compassion, warmth, and a touch of humor to help clients feel safe, understood, and at ease during our work together. I also strive to create a supportive environment where clients can explore challenges without judgment and reconnect with their strengths.

Therapeutically, I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed practices, psychodynamic approaches, DBT skills, mindfulness, and strengths-based coaching to support clarity, healing, and growth at each client’s pace.

Inspired by the Tibetan Buddhist concept of the Four Immeasurables—happiness, joy, compassion, and equanimity—my practice reflects a commitment to cultivating emotional resilience and deeper wellbeing in everyday life.

Whether you're seeking support through stress, trauma, neurodivergence, identity development, or life transitions, my role is to walk with you, guide you, and help you discover meaningful change from the inside out.

Julia Hayward

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 12 mi away • New Jersey


Hi, I’m Julia, and I’m passionate about helping people find strength, clarity, and balance in their lives. I’ve been working in the field for over twenty years, with experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, seniors, and parents through life’s many transitions. I’m a graduate of Columbia University, where I focused on working with children and families. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside clients from many different backgrounds as they work through both everyday stress and life’s biggest challenges.

I believe the structure of the therapeutic relationship can help people access their inner strengths and promote meaningful change. Therapy gives us space to pause, reflect, and make sense of how the different parts of our lives — our relationships, health, identity, and environment — impact our well-being. Together, we’ll sort through challenges, set realistic goals, and develop strategies that help you feel more grounded and empowered.

Looking inward isn’t easy. It takes hard work to look at the stuff that keeps getting in the way of having the life you want. Often times it’s fear, other times it’s something more concrete. No matter what barriers you’re facing, together we can work through the fears and accomplish your goals. We all need support and someone to walk along side us, see the light when we cannot, and hold us until we’re on the other side.
