About Me
Hello and welcome to Maxwell Counseling Collective. My name is Isabella Stephanie Maxwell, but most people call me Izzy. I have been in the mental health field for 12 years and counting in various roles, from family-based therapist, school-based, and more recently, as a licensed professional counselor. My practice encompasses work with clients across the lifespan (ages 5-100). It includes specialized competencies in LGBTQ+ affirming care, neurodivergent populations, and a broad range of presenting concerns, including depression, anxiety, family conflicts, parenting, bipolar disorder, life transitions, and identity/self-esteem. I hold a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University and am currently pursuing doctoral studies in Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook University, where I continue to deepen my integrative approach to my therapeutic practice.
