Ms Desi Isidro

Licensed Clinical Social Workers

“Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, New York & New Jersey, promoting an integrated & holistic approach to mental health & wellness, with credentials that include a Psychology Degree, a Master’s in Clinical Social Work from New York University, NYU Field Instructor, Clinical Supervisor & Biofeedback therapy.”

About Me

Finding balance and well-being often involves connecting different parts of ourselves. I help individuals explore their mental health holistically, integrating mind and body for lasting change. We can delve into your unique needs, drawing on strategies that foster resilience. For those interested in tangible tools, we might incorporate biofeedback therapy to build self-awareness and manage stress effectively, guiding you towards overall wellness.

Approach

Promoting an integrated approach, I guide sessions toward noticing patterns between thoughts, emotions and bodily signals so change feels practical and steady. In Livingston or via secure telehealth, I offer sessions in English or Tagalog with a calm pace, collaborative check-ins, and short practices to try between meetings. When useful, gentle biofeedback-style tools help translate stress into something you can measure and shift. People juggling school, work or family roles who want concrete skills for resilience often find this way of working helpful.
