Monica Fischer
My clients describe me as:
Providing a nurturing & affirming space for women who are curious about exploring their true selves and looking to examine life through a renewed lens
Something to know about my approach is:
My counseling approach is rooted in helping you tap into your inner strengths as I believe you hold the power to create self-growth & healing. I view counseling as a collaborative process where we work to strengthen these resources within you.
Together, we will:
We will work to unlearn restrictive beliefs, learn and uncover personal insights, and relearn how to navigate your life in a way that feels more cohesive and aligned to your true self.
I specialize in working with people who:
I specialize in affirming therapy for women (18+ years of age). Additionally, I specialize neurodiverse-affirming therapy for women who suspect or receive a late Autism diagnosis, ADHD diagnosis, or both (AuADHD, AuDHD).
I became a therapist because:
Being multiply neurodiverse--AuADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, chronic illness--I understand how it feels to be dismissed by healthcare professionals. There is a need for providers who share these identities and experiences with clients.
Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:
I offer therapy that aims to meet you where you are. I believe in the healing power of nature and can additionally offer Nature based therapy.
More about me and my practice:
You do not have to be a woman, or in the neurodivergent umbrella to work with me. I support clients who have concerns or want to gain insight about how living in Western culture and an individualist society influence mental health and relationships.
