Hi, I'm Isabella, a licensed therapist and founder of GraceWell Counseling. I help both individuals and couples work through issues that are keeping them stuck so that they can feel more connected to themselves, their partner or the people around them.
I specialize in relationship dynamics, couples work, and the emotional patterns that show up in marriage. I work with couples navigating emotional and physical intimacy concerns, high-conflict dynamics, premarital transitions, trust issues, and emotional disconnection. I also work with individuals, supporting clients in navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, ADHD, and life transitions.
I bring a calm and curious presence to the room as well as a deep belief in the power of therapy to shift the way we see ourselves and relate to others. I am collaborative, compassionate and direct. I believe therapy should be both emotional and practical—offering space for reflection but also tools for change. I draw from evidence-based approaches like EFT, CBT, the Gottman Method, and IFS and always tailor sessions and approaches to who you are and what you need.
I am based in Charlottesville, VA where I work remotely with clients across Virginia. Outside of sessions, I love going on long walks in nature, reading, practicing yoga and other forms of movement, and cooking with my partner.
Finding the right therapist takes time. If my practice and approach resonates with you, I’d love to connect and see whether we might be a good fit.
Isabella Kitzmann, LCSW
