I'm Issy Kleiman, MA, LMFT, an AAMFT Approved Supervisor and the Founder and Clinical Director of Counseling Services for Wellbeing. I have worked in mental health since 2003 and have been a licensed marriage and family therapist in Washington since 2008. Today, I lead the practice, supervise clinicians, speak, and work to make care easier to coordinate.

Practice, supervision & consultation

Clinical leadership in Washington mental health care

At Counseling Services for Wellbeing, therapy and psychiatry are part of the same practice. Providers can coordinate directly rather than asking clients to relay information between appointments. Alongside this work, I supervise clinicians and consult with teams.

In supervision and consultation, we look at clinical questions in context: the relationships involved, the circumstances around a client, and the ethical choices a clinician needs to make.

Experience & areas of focus

My work spans integrated care, relationship systems, clinical supervision, and the development of clinicians.

A note from Issy

Care should be easier to navigate.

“People shouldn’t have to carry information between providers. I wanted our therapists and psychiatric team to be able to talk directly, with the client’s permission.”
