Hello!

I’m Isabel Aguirre

Associate Social Worker

⭐ About Isabel

I decided to pursue a career in therapy after finding healing through my personal therapy journey, and I want to share this healing with others.

I am formally trained in CBT, DBT, ACT, Child-centered play therapy, the trauma-resiliency model, and social-emotional learning. I am also a certified yoga instructor and love incorporating mind body connection work in my therapy practice. Art is a big part of my life and I find many healing benefits to the creative process and bring this into my work with clients.
