Isabel Saez, LCSW, is a bilingual Latina, first generation born in New York City, unceded Native Lenape lands.  A graduate of New York University in clinical social work, she has practiced for over 20 years with adults, couples, and families.  Her work encompasses a range of life challenges from abuse, family, marital & other relational conflicts, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and the impacts of systemic injustice.  She serves in both English and Spanish.

Her approach to healing is decolonizing, relational with a strength-based focus, and a trauma-informed, equity-abiding lens.  She draws from multiple models including family & other systems, mindfulness meditation, somatic practices, indigenous focusing, ancestral, collective, and historical orientations.

In her practice, she believes in the power of education and in skill building.  This includes awareness of the body-heart-mind, the neurobiology of stress, nervous system regulation, co-regulation, mindfulness meditation, self-compassion, and somatic practices for resilience and resourcing.
