Isabela Gonzalez Crivello, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Isabela!

My passion is to increase education about mental health in order to decrease stigma and increase access for various groups of individuals.

My focus

I enjoy working with individuals who may be seeking therapy for the first time and need a safe space to express their needs, explore their strengths, and build skills to improve their mental well-being. I specialize in working with adults who are experiencing various forms of anxiety and depression symptoms.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is tailored to meet the individual needs of my client. My theoretical approaches are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and strength-based Therapy.

My communication style

My communication style is respectful, highly empathetic, and validating of your personal experience.

My journey to mental healthcare

My desire to become a therapist came naturally to me due to it being a field that focuses on helping others. I experience great joy and satisfaction in seeing people achieve the quality of life they have been seeking.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting by joining my client in exploring their stage of change in order to best support them through the various stages of change. I also focus on developing a maintenance plan for the treatment progress achieved.

Our first session

During the initial session, clients can expect a compassionate environment where they will have the opportunity to share as much about themselves as they feel comfortable, as well as their current needs.
