Isela is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Texas. She earned a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from Texas Tech University in 2012 and a Master of Science in Social Work from West Texas A&M University in 2013.

Since then, Isela has worked in both mental health and medical settings, including psychiatric hospitals (inpatient, intensive outpatient, and partial hospitalization programs), crisis work and community mental health, residential mental health, integrated behavioral health and primary care, and dialysis social work. In these settings, she has worked with young children, adolescents, and adults. This work has provided Isela with an understanding of the unique challenges that come with the human experience throughout different life phases.

Isela’s work now focuses on adolescents and adults going through depression, anxiety, trauma, life stressors/transitions, and self-esteem issues.

With a focus on the therapeutic relationship as a foundation, Isela utilizes a strengths-based, collaborative approach in therapy. Isela uses several different modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy, client-centered, and psychodynamic therapy, depending on each individual’s needs, background, and presenting problem(s).

Isela joined WTCG in 2023 and sees clients in person at the Cactus Hotel and via telehealth. She is fluent in Spanish.
