Isabelle Rizo, , LPC, c. Ht, ATR-P®

You may be the person who holds everything together for everyone else while feeling disconnected from yourself. Perhaps you’re navigating trauma, grief, burnout, a major life transition, or the experience of living between cultures, identities, or expectations. You want a therapist who can honor both your intellect and your inner world.

As a psychotherapist and art therapist, I work with adults seeking deeper self-understanding and meaningful change. My approach integrates psychodynamic therapy, art therapy, trauma-informed care, and mind-body perspectives. Creativity, dreams, spirituality, folklore, and personal rituals are welcome as tools for exploring identity and healing.

Alongside private practice, I work as a medical art psychotherapist in a pediatric hospital, supporting children and families through illness, trauma, and grief. As the daughter of political refugees, I bring a deep appreciation for the ways culture, family history, and resilience shape our lives.

Whether you’re an artist, healthcare worker, helper, or simply someone who has spent their life adapting, therapy can be a place where you no longer have to carry it all alone.
