Getting to know Melanie Fisher

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I earned a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Florida Gulf Coast University. I hold both a bachelor's degree in Psychology and Sociology and a Master of Public Health (MPH) with a concentration in Public Health Education from the University of South Florida. I strive to foster a safe space where clients can tell their story, gain insight into how their lived experience impacts them, and learn how to build on their existing strengths to live their best possible lives. I work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, grief/loss, stress, family conflict, relationship concerns, and other life experiences. I work from a collaborative, strength-based approach and utilize various therapeutic approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and person-centered therapy. I am very passionate about ending the stigma associated with mental illness and mental wellness within communities of color by educating others about the unique challenges that people of color face, being aware of our own attitudes and beliefs, and reducing the bias and negative assumptions about seeking help. In my free time, I enjoy coloring, arts and crafts, going to concerts and music festivals, and spending time with my loved ones.
