Paulina Serrato Padilla M.A. is originally from Michoacan, Mexico and was raised in California where she earned her undergraduate degree in Psychology at Cal Poly Humboldt, followed by master’s degree at Alliant International University, where she continues to pursue a PsyD in Clinical Psychology. Paulina has experience working with severe mental illness in high crisis settings, doing forensic assessment and therapy, and working with underserved populations for the past four years. Paulina just completed her pre-doctoral internship at Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic as a BHC where she served a predominantly migrant population in her role as a BHC. She particularly enjoys working with adults; however, has experience working with adolescents and children.
Outside of behavioral health, Paulina has a keen interest in anything horror related (books, movies, TV shows), spending time outside doing hikes, having a picnic, taking care of her many indoor plants or going for a walk, and reading!
