Camden Padilla (he/they)

Trying to make sense of your identity? Parents and caregivers, are you surprised that your young one can know so early about their gender identity? You want support, for yourself and for your little (or not so little) one. You want to know that you are not alone.

I’m Camden. I have lots of experience working with kids, teens, and adults and their loved ones who are figuring out their gender identity(ies). I can help you understand yourself better and support you throughout the process while highlighting the joy of figuring out your gender and/ or sexual orientation. I have lived experience as someone who came out as trans during my childhood and I strive to highlight queer and trans joy within my work.

Do you have a chronic illness? Are you covid-conscious? Stressed out with trying to figure out how to live your life while others have “gone back to normal”? Others do not get how this is your day-to-day reality, even if it sometimes gets better (or worse)? Or not believe that you are ill at all. I believe you and I’m here to help.

I’m Camden. I will honor your understanding of your own body and how it interacts with the world. I’ll support you and your sense of self. I can make therapy accessible for your needs while we discover what your goals are and how we can help you get to them.

I’m an Associate Clinical Social Worker working under the license of Dr. Abigail Weissman (PSY 27497). This means that I have my Master’s Degree in Social Work (MSW). In addition to taking classes, I’ve also provided therapy during my advanced degree. In order to become a licensed Clinical Social Worker, I must collect 3000 hours working with clients (while under the supervisor of a licensed clinician) and pass two exams. Although I will primarily work with my clients, my supervisor, Dr. Abigail Weissman will check in with me about my clients and their needs and make sure that my clients are feeling as supported as possible. It’s like you get two therapists for the price of one!
