Meet Jean-Luc Padley, MA, LMFTA

If life feels heavier than it should, or your relationships seem harder than you ever expected, you do not have to face it alone. Many people reach a point where they can no longer find their footing, yet still long for peace, clarity, and connection. Counseling can be that place where the climb starts to feel possible again. It is a space to breathe, reflect, and rediscover your strength. My goal is to walk beside you as you navigate the challenges of life and relationships, helping you find lasting healing and renewed direction.

​

What to Expect in Counseling

Therapy is not about quick fixes; it is about understanding and transforming the deeper patterns that shape your emotions and relationships. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we explore the emotional cycles that keep you feeling disconnected or stuck and learn how to build safety, trust, and closeness again. Through Internal Family Systems (IFS), we gently explore the inner parts of you that carry pain, protect you, or hold unmet needs, allowing space for compassion and healing to take root. Together, we step into the heart of what hurts and find a way through it.

​

My Approach and Experience

I draw from EFT, IFS, Satir, and Attachment Theory, blending these approaches to create a personalized and deeply human experience in therapy. My work centers on relationships, trauma, and parenting, as well as issues such as depression, anxiety, anger, burnout, grief, men’s issues, and Borderline Personality Disorder. Clients describe my style as calm, collaborative, and insightful.

 

Life becomes more manageable when you can lean on someone who truly listens and helps you see the path forward. From the comfort of your home, you can begin a journey of healing and discovery. Reach out to me at Hope and Thrive Therapy to take the next step toward a life that feels more grounded and whole.
