Kelly Fisher – True Heart Therapy

Hi, it's nice to meet you!

I'm Kelly Fisher, and I'm glad you're here.

What is a fun fact about myself?
I might be the only person in the history of the world to attend Lewis and Clark’s undergraduate college, law school, and graduate school.

What can you expect as my client?

I am open-minded, nonjudgmental, and empathetic. I like to meet you where you are, explore where you want to be, and collaboratively strategize ways to get you there. As a marriage and family therapist associate I bring a relational/systemic lens to the work we do, always looking for the ways relationship systems can function better for the individuals inside them.

Who am I outside of therapy?

Outside of therapy I am a mom to a teen and a tween, a partner, a daughter, a sister, an aunt, and friend to many excellent people. My favorite outside of therapy activities are hiking/backpacking, yoga, gardening, cooking, live music, attending festivals, and travel.

Pronouns: She/Her

How did I become a therapist?

I became fascinated with the field of psychology in high school, majored in psychology in college, and for a while anticipated becoming a child psychologist. Instead I detoured to law school and practiced employment law for many moons. I began plotting my return to psychology-adjacent work during the pandemic, finally took the plunge to return to grad school in 2023, and have felt more gratified by that decision every single day.

I recently received my Master’s in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy from Lewis and Clark, specializing in sexuality. My educational and clinical experiences thus far have focused on couples, with an emphasis on issues involving sex and intimacy.

My bachelor’s degree is in psychology with a minor in environmental studies from Dartmouth College. I also have a J.D. from Lewis and Clark Law School, with a certificate in environmental law.

While I only recently began my official therapy journey, I was an eating disorder peer advisor and mentor through the Big Brother/Big Sister program in college. Albeit in a different role, as a lawyer for 20 years I counseled clients through many emotionally challenging situations. As a 40something myself, I have also personally navigated huge transitions at several stages of life.

My practice focuses on couples and individuals experiencing relational issues, with an emphasis on sex and intimacy. Within that realm I don’t have an “ideal” client; I am open to seeing people at all starting points, facing issues like diminished connection, communication struggles, or sexual issues including mismatched libido, sexual acceptance, and infidelity. I specifically welcome LGBTQIA+, kinky, and nonmonogamous clients.
