Ever feel like therapy is just…not for you? Perfect! I love working with the therapy-resistant, the therapy-naive, and even the therapy-savvy (yes, even therapists need therapists!). I'm known for my direct, no-nonsense approach. Consider me your co-pilot on this journey of self-discovery. We'll both be putting in the effort—I'll bring the expertise, and you bring…well, you. I'll be right there with you, every step of the way, offering guidance, support, and maybe a few questionable jokes. Let's make this climb worthwhile.
Our first session is like a "getting to know you" party, but for your mental health. We'll explore your needs, define your expectations, and pinpoint a few areas where you'd like to see some growth. I'll offer some ideas for navigating those tricky spots, we'll discuss the effort involved, and we'll imagine what it'll feel like to reach your goals. And yes, laughter is definitely on the menu, life's too short to take everything too seriously and therapy should be helpful and human.
With over seven years in the mental health field, I've tackled everything from everyday stressors to the toughest challenges—trauma, severe mental health issues, and crisis intervention are my specialties. Consider me your fellow traveler on this journey of self-discovery. We'll climb those mountains together, one step at a time.
Lost your map? Don't worry, I've got a spare (and a GPS, just in case). I work with clients who are ready to explore new territories and discover their hidden potential. Whether you're feeling a little lost, just ready to level up your life, dealing with the unique challenges such as past events that just wont go away, or of the helping professions (secondary trauma is real!), I can help. I'm direct, dedicated, and always up for an adventure.
Jessica Fisher offers therapy covered by Buckeye Health Plan, Buckeye Health Plan (Managed Medicaid), CareSource, Medicaid - Buckeye Health Plan and UnitedHealthcare/Optum - Medicaid in Ohio.
I offer a holistic and integrative approach to therapy, emphasizing the importance of understanding the whole person. Rooted in humanistic principles, I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to facilitate healing and growth. Together, we will explore your experiences and develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses your specific needs. I utilize a range of interventions to support you on your journey towards well-being.
My practice includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based CBT, and trauma-focused CBT. I am comfortable using structured CBT approaches, which often involve skill-building, in-session processing, and at-home practice assignments. I also frequently integrate CBT with other therapeutic modalities to create a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan.
I utilize Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to empower clients with effective coping skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. I offer both comprehensive DBT programs and integrate DBT skills into other therapeutic modalities, tailoring my approach to meet individual needs.
*Ask me about the current groups I am running virtually* I have a deep appreciation for the supportive and transformative nature of group therapy. My extensive experience includes developing and facilitating groups within PHP, IOP, and aftercare programs. I strive to create a collaborative and empowering environment where clients can connect with others who share similar experiences, gain valuable insights, and develop effective coping strategies. I am dedicated to continually refining my approach and developing creative interventions to best serve the needs of my group members.
Drawing on Reality Therapy and Choice Theory, I empower clients to examine their behaviors and choices, recognizing their influence on their lives. This approach focuses on developing self-awareness and creating a pathway for positive change.
