Practice, supervision & consultation

Clinical leadership in Washington mental health care

As an AAMFT Approved Supervisor and Founder and Clinical Director of Counseling Services for Wellbeing, I lead an integrated practice where therapy and psychiatry sit under one roof. I focus on building connected systems of care and supporting clinicians as they serve individuals and families across Washington.

Clinicians, teams, and organizations consult with me about complex clinical questions, relational dynamics, and the systems that shape care. My work brings together supervision, consultation, clinical leadership, speaking, and the responsibility of leading a group practice.

Clinical leadership & expertise

Clinical leadership grounded in a breadth of experience: relational and systemic thinking, integrated care, and the development of clinicians.

A note from Issy

Care should make room for the whole story.

“I believe good care should feel both honest and hopeful. My role is to stay curious, make space for what is difficult, and help build systems of care that support the whole person.”
