Fisher Ilijasic, Student Therapist

Hey there, I'm Fisher! I'm a licensed counselor who believes that understanding ourselves fully is the first step towards meaningful change. My approach to counseling is rooted in psychodynamic theory, which means we'll explore deeper patterns and experiences that have shaped how you think, feel, and act. If you want to better understand why you think or feel a certain way, and how that drives your behavior, this approach might be right up your alley.

 

I'm most experienced in working with anxiety management, career stress, negative self-perception, and relationship dysfunctions. I strive to create a space where you gain clarity, build confidence, and grow in a way that feels meaningful. It is important to me that our counseling sessions are strictly nonjudgmental and inclusive spaces for people of all walks of life. I'm particularly passionate about helping young men challenge and overcome rigid social norms that can make vulnerability and self-acceptance difficult; therapy is hard work, so comfort and safety are paramount to me.

 

In my free time, I enjoy everything from video games to trying out new recipes, to running, and reading!
