I am passionate about helping others recognize their full potential, especially those that have experienced trauma, struggle with anxiety disorders, or are neurodiverse. I find that individuals often unknowingly create their biggest barriers to success and happiness through their own subconscious thoughts and beliefs. I help clients find their own voice, feel that they are worthy of investing time and energy into caring for themself, and setting healthy boundaries to do so.

My name is Kalie Fish and I offer specialized trauma therapy to promote healing and achievement of desired goals.
You're tired. Tired of suffering in silence from a history of trauma, a stressful life, crippling anxiety and depression. You're tired of feeling like you can't quite get close to anyone because trusting yourself and others is hard. You're tired of feeling low, stressed, overwhelmed, overstimulated, and like no matter what you do on your own you can't seem to find a way to feel better. Your tried and true coping skills just aren't working for you anymore, and you can't think of new ideas for coping. Any hobbies you used to enjoy, you can't seem to get into anymore because they don't bring your the joy they once have.
