(02) Meet Charles

Charles Fisher, LMFT, CADC

My philosophy is to help clients make decisions and enact behaviors that align with their authentic values, goals, and sense of self — working from the perspective of Self Energy and Wise Mind: the integration of intuition, emotional awareness, and logical thinking.

Rather than telling clients what they should do, I aim to help them access clarity within themselves so they can move toward the life they want with greater confidence and self-compassion.

My clinical work is informed by both professional training and lived experience — meeting you where you are, without judgment.

"Sometimes the only way to make the right decision is to make the wrong one with clarity."

(03) Services

Modalities that meet you where you are.

Trauma-informed care for adults — available both via secure telehealth and in person.

(01)

EMDR Therapy

Targeted processing for traumatic memories so the nervous system can metabolize what it could not finish — without endlessly retelling the worst moments of your life.
(02)

Internal Family Systems

A nonjudgmental exploration of the parts of self that developed to protect you. Nothing gets exiled — insight and compassion replace shame.
(03)

Integrated EMDR + IFS

Trained in combining both modalities for deep trauma processing while maintaining safety, curiosity, and compassion toward all parts of the self.
(04)

Addiction & Recovery

Certified Chemical Dependency Counseling that treats the emotional roots of substance use, not just the behavior — collaborative and rooted in your own goals.
(04) Who I Work With

For those who feel intellectually capable but emotionally stuck.

High-acuity stabilization

Rebuilding after first psychotic episodes, suicide attempts, hospitalizations, or 5150 holds — in close collaboration with psychiatrists and families.

Neurodivergent & sensitive adults

Highly intelligent, emotionally sensitive people whose struggles weren't fully understood earlier in life — often navigating severe social anxiety or adulthood transitions.

Substance self-medication

Clients using cannabis, alcohol, or other substances to regulate trauma, anxiety, or mood — treated as an attempt to manage internal experience, not a moral failing.

Men repairing relationships

Rebuilding relationships impacted by addiction, relapse, or emotional dysregulation — developing accountability, insight, and capacity for vulnerability.

Medical trauma & chronic illness

Supporting the psychological impact of chronic illness, medical crises, and difficult healthcare experiences — a focus that resonates personally as well as professionally.

Young adults returning home

Clients who went away to college, became overwhelmed, and came back feeling stuck — rebuilding momentum without contempt for the self who needed to come home.
