Hi, I’m Isela. If you’ve found yourself here, you may be carrying a lot — stress that never seems to end, anxiety that feels overwhelming, grief that’s hard to name, or perfectionism that leaves you feeling stuck and exhausted. I want you to know you don’t have to navigate this alone. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience, and the founder of Lotus Bloom Therapy. I provide telehealth therapy for adults across California, creating a supportive, affirming space to heal, grow, and reconnect with yourself. My specialties include anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and identity-related experiences. As a first-generation professional, daughter of Mexican immigrants, and California Bay Area native, I bring both personal understanding and clinical expertise to my work. Many of my clients are BIPOC, immigrant, or first-generation individuals who want a therapist who truly “gets it” — someone who can hold their full story with care and respect. My approach blends evidence-based practices like CBT, ACT, and DBT within a trauma-informed, strengths-based framework. Most importantly, I believe therapy should feel collaborative and tailored to you.
