Working with Isaac, M.A., MBA

203698579Change is possible with therapy.

You aren’t alone in your pain. Trying to navigate a way out of the unthinkable feels isolating and overwhelming, but when you are stuck feeling alone, lost, and looking for answers, you start looking for help. Sometimes you don’t even know where to look or how to get started, but that’s where therapy comes into the picture.

Therapy brings connection, hope, and direction. It can offer a new way to do life – discover meaning, purpose, joy, and authenticity. Your story – whether it’s a story of addiction, brokenness, destroyed relationships, feeling lost, or something else altogether – has led you to seek change, and you’ve come to the right place.

True change starts in the context of a real relationship, which is exactly what I offer. I know firsthand feelings of unimaginable loss and shame and the power of a true relationship. I see a connection as the catalyst for change, and I look forward to walking alongside your next step.

Experiencing change encouraged me to seek a new vocation.

Part of my story that led me to become a therapist is that pain has been a close companion in different seasons of my life. I feel familiar with the shame of repeated failures; I’ve felt like an outsider, lost in my identity, and isolated myself from others.

I don’t come into therapy as someone unfamiliar with suffering but as someone who has walked the path of brokenness and has experienced true change through therapy and connection with others. You realize you’re not alone when you find someone or a group of people who accept you, challenge you, and join in the transformation journey. My identity and worldview changed through connection with others – all broken individuals trying to find healing and hope.

Because of that experience, I changed careers, left the corporate world, and became a therapist. I wanted to offer hope, connection, and join others in their journey of learning they have value, worth, and much to offer those around them.

About Isaac

Imsmall

I was born in the United States but spent most of my upbringing in Bolivia. After moving back to the U.S. when I was 17, I graduated high school and decided to join the Marines. While in the Marines, I got my pilot’s license and served overseas.

I received my B.A. in Economics in 2014 and an M.B.A. in 2017 from Ashford University. I worked in corporate sales management for eight years and grew to love the business world. Eventually, I shifted my career field and received my M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Richmont Graduate University in 2021.

My eclectic background includes experience in management, sales, entrepreneurship, and serving others.

In my time away from the office, I love to travel and play board games – or really do anything competitive. I love spending time with my wife and fixing up our house together.

If the weather is nice, you will find me sitting outside spending time with friends and family, probably talking about life and soaking up the beauty around us.
