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 supervise and develop other clinicians while remaining closely engaged with clinical work. I built a practice where therapy and psychiatry are integrated under one roof, so clinical judgement can be informed by a wider view of the person and the care around them.

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

Clinical leadership & expertise

A clinical practice grounded in breadth: work across the lifespan, relational and systemic thinking, integrated care, and the development of clinicians.

A note from Issy

Therapy is a place to begin again.

“I believe the work we do in therapy should feel both honest and hopeful. My role is to stay curious with you, make space for what is difficult, and help you move toward the relationships and life you want.”
