My name is Grace Padilla. I am a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in Relationship Counseling working with individuals and or couples . I work to help my clients process what is causing them pain and how to change it.

As a relationship therapist / family and couples therapy professor at Pepperdine University, I treat my session similar to my classroom. I create a place that is both safe and stimulating for growth.

I empower my clients with having a toolbox which we fill together to help them surpass this stage in their life. I believe my clients want more than just a sounding board out of their sessions. I implement a blend of Emotional Focused and Gottman Therapy that have been statistically proven to challenge my clients and instill growth.

I know this can be a difficult time and provide my clients with the tools they need to start a new chapter in their life.
