Isaias Ponpa, LSW

Bilingual Therapist

Hello! I’m Isaías, a bilingual licensed social worker passionate about providing affirming and compassionate care to individuals navigating life’s many transitions. I’m committed to creating a warm and collaborative space where you feel safe, seen, and supported. My clinical experience includes working with adults in both university and community settings, with a focus on identity development, academic and career stress, relationship challenges, and anxiety. I also incorporate wellness coaching and case management when helpful, drawing on a strengths-based, culturally responsive approach. Additionally, I bring lived and volunteer experience working with children and adolescents, which continues to shape my empathetic and holistic perspective.

As a first-generation college graduate, I understand the weight of expectations, the journey of self-discovery, and how hard it can be to ask for help. In therapy, I draw from evidence-based frameworks including CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and trauma-informed care models like ACT. My goal is to meet you where you are and support you in building the clarity, balance, and connection you seek—at your own pace. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and loved ones, engaging with music—whether through singing, playing guitar, or songwriting—and watching soccer while cheering on my favorite club, Manchester United.
