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, experiences that are hard to name, or perfectionism that leaves you feeling stuck and exhausted. 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 culturally responsive, trauma-informed therapy for Latinx, BIPOC, and first/second-generation adults across California (telehealth). I support clients navigating anxiety, burnout, impostor feelings, perfectionism, identity experiences, and major life transitions — often while juggling family expectations, academic or workplace pressures, and the unique weight of being one of the “firsts” or “onlys” in certain spaces. As a first-generation professional, daughter of Mexican immigrants, and Bay Area native, I bring both personal understanding and clinical expertise to my work. Many clients seek me out because they want a therapist who truly “gets it” — someone who can hold their full story with care, cultural awareness, 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, supportive, and tailored to you.
