Dr. Lynne Fish, PhD
Dr. Lynne Fish is a Psychologist in South Carolina who has been practicing since 1999. She earned a PhD in Counseling Psychology from the University of Southern Mississippi in 1998 and previously obtained a Master’s Degree in Religious Education from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Since that time, she has pursued further training in various therapies, such as EMDR, DBT, and hypnosis, to help people more effectively.
Life brings struggles to us all at times; Dr. Fish loves helping people move beyond these challenges toward a brighter future and feels blessed by God to do this work.

Over the years, working in university settings and private practice, she has helped hundreds of people cope with a wide range of emotional and psychological problems, which gives her great hope for you in a time of difficulty.
As a doctoral-level psychologist, Dr. Fish sees people as complex and includes biological, psychological, social, spiritual, and cultural aspects in understanding the present. This broad perspective allows her to offer new insights toward change within a mutually respectful, trusting, and collaborative relationship. Over time, she has become proficient in various empirically based therapies, providing myriad ways to tailor support and challenge individually throughout the therapy journey. When requested, she is happy to include your spiritual perspectives and values in your work together.
Her greatest reward in this process is seeing you grow in peace, health, and joy. Dr. Fish enjoys learning about the strengths of her clients as well as the adversity they have overcome. She believes in a positive approach to counseling and in clarifying goals that are important to her clients.
