Isabella Cimbala - LMSW Associate

Going to therapy is an act of turning toward ourselves. Life comes with hardship, and sometimes we get stuck in familiar patterns. My approach supports clients in moving away from harsh inner criticism and embracing new perspectives in order to break out of self-defeating patterns. My wish is for all of my clients to move toward a more whole, unique version of themselves—a resilient self that is alive and better equipped to respond to life's challenges.

I specialize in helping clients overcome perfectionism, people-pleasing, boundary setting, unhelpful relationship dynamics, substance abuse, and low self-esteem.
‍
As an integrative psychotherapist, I support clients in their journey of self-discovery and personal growth through a holistic approach that blends Developmental, Existential, and Strengths-based theories. With a background in Visual arts and Psychology from Naropa University and a Master of Social Work from Texas State University, I bring a unique perspective to mental health care as a Licensed Master Social Worker.

In my practice I work to create a supportive environment that emphasizes self-acceptance, personal growth, and clarifying values. I primarily utilize CBT and ACT interventions and am deeply influenced by Rogerian, Interpersonal, and Feminist theories. I am committed to helping clients challenge limiting narratives, discover their inherent strengths, and cultivate a more authentic and resilient sense of self.
