Indeed, recent research suggests that marital therapy yields substantial and enduring improvements over no treatment at all. Comparable studies affirm the efficacy of the individual and family therapy methods Isabella employ. However, the success of therapy hinges on several factors, such as the way individuals apply the knowledge they gain, the rapport between therapist and client, and the therapist's skill and commitment. Isabella aims to create a therapeutic environment that feels safe for exploring personal challenges. Clients often express appreciation for feeling supported yet also challenged and encouraged to grow. Despite her extensive knowledge of various approaches, Isabella strives to make clients feel as though she is working "with" them rather than "doing things to" them.

By making this personalized approach a priority, Isabella creates an environment where clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood, leading to more impactful and lasting results.

Isabella understands that committing to weekly sessions for the first few months can seem like a big commitment. However, it’s crucial to set a consistent, recurring time in your schedule to maintain progress. After the initial months, some clients may prefer bi-weekly sessions due to various constraints. It’s important to note that meeting only twice a month may slow progress and extend the duration of treatment.

The duration of therapy varies for each individual, family, or couple, making it challenging to provide an exact timeline. Typically, people can expect to be in treatment for a minimum of 6-12 months. However, if there are more complex issues such as high conflict, trauma histories, substance abuse, or a history of intimate partner violence, the treatment duration is likely to be longer.

In Isabella's experience working with families, she has found it highly beneficial to have the entire family attend the first few sessions together. This initial engagement allows her to gain a comprehensive understanding of the family dynamics. Following the initial assessment, she conducts one-on-one sessions with each family member to delve into individual perspectives and concerns. Depending on the specific issues at hand, she works with various combinations of family members, including dyads and triads, as well as the entire family unit. Her approach is flexible and tailored to the unique needs and dynamics of each family, ensuring that her therapeutic work is effective and impactful.

Isabella believes in providing each family member with their own confidential and impartial space for reflection and processing, which is why she is unable to offer individual therapy to multiple people from the same family or relationship. This approach ensures that each individual receives the personalized attention and care they deserve.

Isabella has extensive experience working with clients online and has discovered that teletherapy can be more effective in certain cases. This is due to the convenience of attending sessions and the improved consistency, which leads to faster progress. Isabella's clients appreciate the ability to meet from their own homes without the hassle of travel, and they find scheduling much easier. Furthermore, numerous studies have investigated the effectiveness of telehealth, with almost all of them concluding that online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy.

Isabella operates independently of insurance companies, ensuring flexibility in treatment, privacy, and control of your records.

Isabella can provide you with a super-bill to help you seek partial reimbursement for your therapy sessions. With Isabella, your well-being is her top priority, and she is here to assist you through this process.

The term "HIPAA compliant" denotes that your personal health information is safeguarded by the physical, network, and process security measures mandated by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). This act establishes the standard for protecting sensitive patient data.
