“Deryn brings a strong depth of knowledge and a wide range of practical tools into her work, which makes sessions feel both insightful and actionable. She truly takes the time to understand her clients and tailor treatment to their specific needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. With Deryn you feel supported, understood, and equipped with strategies you can actually use. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and skilled therapist.”

Getting to know Deryn Fishman
Ms. Deryn Fishman is a marriage and family therapist at LifeBloom Therapy. She provides virtual consultations to ensure that high-quality care is accessible to clients in various locations.
Ms. Fishman holds a master's degree in psychology from Pepperdine University. She tailors therapy with cognitive-behavioral, emotion-focused, and mindfulness-based approaches to address each client's unique needs and goals.
Ms. Fishman specializes in supporting young adults experiencing low self-confidence, a time often characterized by questions of identity, direction, and belonging. She is committed to fostering an affirming environment where people feel empowered to address challenges, strengthen relationships, and deepen self-understanding.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My therapeutic approach is collaborative, grounded in the belief that clients are the true experts of their own lives. I work alongside each person to explore their experiences, values, and goals, creating a space where their voice and perspective guide the process. I invite curiosity, reflection, and shared decision-making, rather than imposing solutions. At the same time, I take a holistic view, recognizing that emotional well-being is shaped by the interconnected influences of mind, body, relationships, culture, and environment. This allows us to consider the full context of a client’s life and support meaningful, sustainable growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My process begins with a thoughtful intake, where I take time to develop a comprehensive understanding of each client’s history, current concerns, strengths, and the broader context of their life. This initial phase helps lay a strong foundation for our work together. From there, we collaboratively identify goals that feel meaningful and relevant to the client, ensuring that their voice and priorities remain central. As therapy progresses, we regularly revisit and adjust these goals as needed, allowing the work to stay responsive, flexible, and aligned with the client’s evolving needs and insights.
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance

More information on payments and coverage
I do not accept insurance directly; however, I support clients in accessing their out-of-network benefits whenever possible. I provide detailed superbills that clients can submit to their insurance providers for potential reimbursement. I’m also happy to help clients understand this process so they can make informed decisions about using their benefits.
