Israella “Issy” Kleiman, LMFT

Clinical Director – Counseling Services for Wellbeing

Welcome to Counseling Services for Wellbeing. My name is Israella, but feel free to call me Issy. For over 27 years, I’ve worked in the field of mental health, dedicating my life to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate their journeys toward healing and self-discovery. While I no longer practice as a therapist directly, I now serve as the Clinical Director of this practice, where I provide clinical supervision, mentorship, and guidance to a team of highly trained associate-level therapists.

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, an AAMFT-approved supervisor, and a Washington State Approved Supervisor, I bring decades of experience in community mental health, private practice, and clinical training. My role today is to ensure that every client at Counseling Services for Wellbeing receives compassionate, evidence-based care from trusted professionals who are supported and trained under my oversight.

Though I am not currently seeing clients myself, I remain deeply involved in the therapeutic work we do. I provide multi-year training and supervision to our associate providers, equipping them with the tools, ethics, and insight needed to offer effective, culturally responsive, and affirming care. I want you to feel confident and assured that you are in excellent hands with our team.
