Kaylin Padovano, LMSW
About
As a New York and New Jersey Licensed Master’s Social Worker, I have experience working with adults of all ages in individual and group settings, with a primary focus on trauma and complex trauma. I support clients impacted by PTSD, anxiety and depression, including survivors of interpersonal and gender-based violence, childhood abuse, and displacement-related trauma.
My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and client-centered. I draw from CBT, mindfulness, and relational approaches, with attention to how trauma lives in both thoughts and the body. I help clients notice stress responses, emotional cues, and protective patterns as they show up in real time, and work collaboratively to build greater emotional safety, regulation, and flexibility.
Through collaborative work, I support people in navigating trauma, loss, and relational wounds by strengthening resilience, increasing self-trust, and developing steadier ways of responding to internal and external stressors. In addition to clinical practice, my background includes extensive work with diverse and marginalized communities, with attention to the impact of systemic harm, oppression, and chronic stress. I support clients in challenging harmful narratives, validating lived experiences, and reclaiming their stories through identity-affirming and community-care-oriented practices.
Whether you identify as a survivor of trauma or are seeking support with ongoing stress, anxiety, or burnout, we can work together to create a steady, compassionate space for growth and healing.
