I absolutely love speaking to Isabel. Isabel brings so much insight and grounding to any situation, and is very understanding of what I'm struggling though, even if it's a complex scenario. I feel very comfortable reaching out about anything and everything. Even when it feels like I am journalling my thoughts to her, Isabel will take those thoughts and remind myself to be kind and gentle. I would highly recommend Isabel to anyone.

More about Isabel
- 11 years' experience

- LISW
Hello, I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervisory Designation (LISW-S). I have over 10 yrs of direct mental health experience. I am grounded in a commitment to social justice, personal well-being, and the development of the whole person. I focus on depression, anxiety, stress, life changes and parenting (especially for those who care for individuals w/special needs). Typical areas of concern are emotional well-being, managing stress, relationship or family issues, identifying/exploring patterns and making desired changes. I work with clients through the process of becoming healthy individuals, offering them a place to receive both nurture and compassionate challenge. My goals are to assist individuals in the areas of 1) Self-Empowerment and Acceptance, 2) Decision-making, 3) Developing and implementing coping skills, 4) Identifying and using internal and external resources and 5) Improved positive well-being. I work with individuals (straight or LGBTQIA). I am highly competent in a variety of cultures, religions, and social and interpersonal issues. My practice core values are:
1) Autonomy - Self-determination; behavior an individual stands behind and, if reflective, would endorse and value. Autonomy is the process of doing something by one’s own decision or initiative.
2) Competence - Providing high quality, professional counseling services provided by a qualified LISW-S.
3) Effectiveness - A commitment to on-going education. It is knowing, understanding and implementing the best treatment practices available, practicing within my areas of expertise, and referring clients to other resources whenever it is in their best interest.
4) Integrity - Upholding a professional ethic regarding respect, privacy and confidentiality.
5) Respect & Diversity - Recognizing all aspects of our humanity and honor that all of these aspects remain salient to every life. This includes age, physical abilities and cognitive talents, socioeconomic status, political viewpoints, religious/spiritual and/or philosophical beliefs, sexuality, gender, racial/ethnic identities, and other unique characteristics.
I offer a safe and non-judgmental place, and I would be happy to work with you.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Isabel has provided insight and perspective. She’s honest and genuine and has developed my way of thinking and outlook. She’s sweet and smart, but most of all understanding and patient. I value her advice/guidance/direction/perspective & insight. I highly recommend her services.
I've been in and out of therapy for over a decade, for almost a year now Isabel has been my rock. She uplifts me and listens very closely.

Isabel has been more than helpful in helping me steer my life in the right direction. And give me advice that will help me in the long run. She has also praised me for the progress I’ve made, which I truly appreciate. She doesn’t only validate my feelings but she also gives me the devil’s advocate. Which is completely helpful in seeing both sides. I would 100% recommend Isabel as a therapist for anyone struggling with depression, anxiety, and identity. Thank you so so much Isabel for all that you have done for me in a short time.

From The First Encounter During Our Video Call I Just Knew She Was Going To Be A Perfect Fit. Very Down To Earth, Easy To Talk To, Very Understanding, And Very Clear With Knowing And Understanding What Kind Of Person She Is Talking To And How To Help. I Am Looking Forward To Our Next Session As She Is A Therapist That Actually Listens, Pays Attention, And Gives Dialogue Right Back With You. She Understood Me Better Than Most. Highly Recommend!
From the moment I first connected with Isabel I knew she was the perfect therapist for me. I love her views on life, deep compassion, complete non-judgment, and very practical insights on how to move forward. I’ve raved about Isabel to anyone who asks about my therapist!

Isabel is amazing! She is kind, wise, and funny - a warm and loving person who helped me to see my true worth and untangle the messy threads of emotions, habits, patterns, and life circumstances that were challenging me. Would 100% recommend!
Isabel is a highly compassionate, non-judgemental person. I feel comfortable speaking to her about things I wouldn't even have the courage to tell my family about. She is an excellent listener.
I've been seeing Isabel for about 8 months now. These 8 months have been very tough, and I don't know how I would have managed without almost weekly check-ins with Isabel. She always offers a kind listening ear, together with pragmatic and implementable advise. She also reminds me to look after myself, which is often easy to forget. I highly recommend Isabel.
Isabel is a wonderful communicator and makes it clear that she does not harbour any judgment. She makes incredibly insightful observations as well as recommendations and was helpful right from our first sesson.
Incredibly supportive, compassionate and informed. It was really easy to establish a trusting connection with her
She has been so supportive since starting therapy with her, and she has the social justice framework and analysis that I was looking for and wasn’t able to find in other counselors. I highly recommend.
Very pleasant understanding. I enjoy my time with Isabel!
Isobel is very open minded, listening with compassion and without judgement.
Isabel is such a great listener, and tries her best to understand you. She explains theories well and effortlessly connects them to the topic at hand. Very knowledgeable about relationship dynamics!

She is phenomenal
Empathetic, adaptable, knowlegdeable, personable
I have really enjoyed my sessions with Isabel. She is direct and honest with a very caring tone. She challenges ideas to make you think about a situation, or even yourself in a different way. I truly find myself empowered after speaking with her :)
Isabel has been really helpful to me when I was really going through a terrible time. Because of her, I am able to cope with quite a lot of my regular anxieties and able to get through really tough days where even basic tasks were extremely difficult . She has been really amazing.
This is the best counseling experience I have ever had in my life is with Isabel.
Isabel is very thoughtful and kind. She always listens to me and has a lot of useful information to give. It’s very clear that she is a professional.
