Resident in Counseling
Ana Isabel Fermin is a Resident in Counseling. She earned her bachelor’s degree in early childhood development from Regent University, and her master’s degree in clinical and mental health counseling from Liberty University in 2026. She has experience working with families and individuals, including children and adults with multiple ethnic backgrounds and life experiences, including grief, ADHD, anxiety, and depression; family stressors and traumatic events; blended families; and chronic illnesses such as bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder.
In her counseling sessions, Isabel addresses issues of attachment, identity, boundary setting, healthy relationships, and overcoming challenges in life transitions. She has a keen interest in providing biblically sound, trauma-informed care to her clients, and has pursued ongoing professional development in both Play Therapy and Gottman Therapy.
Isabel was born in the US and grew up in the Dominican Republic. She currently lives in Northern Virginia with her husband, her youngest son (out of six children in her blended family), and their mixed Beagle “Tato.” She is bilingual and has attended a local church for the past 16 years, where she serves alongside her husband. In her spare time, she enjoys reading and listening to music, spending time with family and friends, and traveling with her husband to visit their children around the US.
