Meet Rachel Fisher, LCSW

Senior Therapist

Rachel Fisher is a licensed clinician with over a decade of clinical experience. She works well with high-functioning adolescents, adults, and families struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, trauma, compulsive and addiction issues, body image and eating disorders, and grief and loss. Rachel gets to the heart of why clients are struggling in a space that is compassionate and secure. From the first meeting, clients develop the tools to reduce symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Rachel received her psychology training at the University of Rochester, followed by a clinical graduate degree in clinical social work from Roberts Wesleyan University. She is a member of the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Connecticut Psychological Association (CPA). The therapeutic approaches I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

Rachel completed post-graduate training in spiritually informed therapy from the spirituality institute. These clinical training experiences gave her a unique understanding of the mind-body connection. She considers the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence how her clients feel and how those factors impact overall health.

Rachel specializes in working with adults. She understands the complexities of self-worth issues, career and academics, stress, sexuality, family expectations, and body image issues. Such stressors can cause anxiety and depression, which affects the family as a whole. Rachel helps adults and their families understand their struggles to identify their strengths and harness their potential.

Rachel is also skilled at creating tools to foster healthy communication with families and increase empathy and flexibility. She helps families move past their hurt and build stronger connections within themselves and with their loved ones. She encourages her clients to develop resilience using solution-focused, evidence-based treatments and emotion-focused therapy to create new pathways to change.

Rachel’s mission is to provide the highest quality of care. She is devoted to helping her clients attain their goals and build a life they love.
