Isabella Mena, AMFT
Hello! My name is Isabella, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist. I am passionate about social justice, holistic health, and living in partnership with one’s body.
Most of my clinical experience has focused on relationship concerns, domestic violence, immigrant/refugee experiences, and supporting individuals navigating significant life changes. I have also spent some time working with juvenile justice-involved youth and unhoused women in a shelter setting. I have also worked with individuals whose first or primary language is not English. I enjoy working with trauma/PTSD, anxiety, depression, cultural identity, parent-child concerns, woman’s issues, and life transitions
