About me

I am a bilingual licensed clinical counselor. I have worked in a variety of settings such as behavioral health hospitals, community centers and private practice. I have an extensive background in trauma specifically sexual assault and domestic violence. I have worked with perpetrators of domestic violence as well and for years ran groups on non-violent communication. I have worked with individuals with personality disorders, trauma, depression, anxiety and self-injury behaviors.
I believe meeting my clients where they are at and to provide a safe space for my clients to be themselves and to never feel judged with me. I like to encourage my clients to challenge themselves in becoming a better version of themselves and growing into self-fulfilled individuals.
I have so much passion for my job and I love what I do.

Therapy with Isabel has been a wonderful experience. I feel so seen and heard by her. She truly understands the cultural values and morals I was brought up in. Talking to her feels like I’m talking to an old friend.

Isabel is such a professional counselor, but it never felt strange to talk to her about personal things. I find this very helpful since it is not easy to talk about yourself to a complete stranger, but Isabel is very comforting and it is more like a conversation than the classic therapist sessions I have had so far. She gave me good advice and healthy tips on how I perceive things, which made me feel a lot better very fast. I cannot recommend Isabel enough!!

Isabel has been an amazing counselor. For almost a month, she really let me talk everything I’m going through and feelings. 2020 has a been a horrible year for everyone and I was one of them. Thankfully, I used BetterHelp and I was glad to meet Isabel Acevedo. She was a amazing help and took her time to check on my regularly and made time on her schedule for a daily calls when I needed the most. She is a amazing woman!
