Jeff Fish
Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a variety of settings, including hospitals, community counseling agencies, private practice, and nonprofit organizations. My personal and family history also affords me valuable lived experiences that inform my approach with clients and advances my ability to extend empathy to my clients.
I’m passionate about helping men build the skills, confidence, & resilience needed to create lasting change in their lives.
This diverse experience has allowed me to work with people from many different walks of life, each with their own unique challenges, hopes, and dreams.
First session
During our first session we of course will go over some of the boring "housekeeping items" that you might expect during an initial therapy session. But you can also expect a safe, nonjudgmental space where we’ll start by talking about what’s going on in your life, what’s working for you, and what isn’t. The majority of our time is spent allowing you the opportunity to share. My goal is to help you identify the steps you can take toward your preferred future, focusing on practical solutions while also honoring the strength already possessed.
Strengths
I’m passionate about helping men build the skills, confidence, & resilience needed to create lasting change in their lives. What sets my practice apart is my ability to meet you where you are. I bring a down-to-earth, relatable approach that I hope will make you feel understood and comfortable right from the start. Many of the clients that have never been to therapy comment to me how easy my approach is to engage with & how grateful they are for the work we have done together.
Ideal clients
I am best positioned to serve clients that are experiencing anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder, relationship issues, or sex addiction that are motivated to engage in therapy sessions and homework exercises and develop and work towards goals even during our first session. Most of my clients are men but clients I work with currently and in the past are women that prefer a male therapist and they have realized significant progress towards their goals as well.
Treatment methods
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I believe that with the individual and relationship resources you can tap into your own strengths to move forward with our work together. My goal is to help you identify the steps to take toward your preferred future, focusing on practical solutions while also honoring your strengths.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My experience with CBT demonstrates that clients benefit from understanding how the situations in their life can impact their thoughts, their emotions, and their behaviors. This knowledge early in treament helps clients explore solutions in their lives.
