Leigh Fisher, LCSW, CCTP

Leigh Fisher is a compassionate psychotherapist specializing in grief, caregiving, trauma, and major life transitions for adults and couples.

She works with clients navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and identity shifts that often emerge in midlife and beyond. Many of Leigh’s clients are adjusting to career changes, retirement, separation or divorce, parenting transitions, or evolving relationships with adult children.

Leigh has a particular passion for supporting caregivers, whether caring for aging parents, raising children, coordinating medical support for a loved one, or feeling the strain of the “sandwich generation.”  She helps clients move from guilt and exhaustion toward sustainable rhythms and healthy boundaries.

Grief work is central to Leigh’s practice. As a Certified Dementia Care Specialist (ECDCS) and a Certified Grief Educator, she supports clients experiencing anticipatory grief, traumatic or complicated loss, cumulative losses, and end-of-life concerns. She provides steady guidance through deeply emotional seasons while helping clients reconnect with meaning and purpose.

With a background in nonprofit counseling and more than two decades in business leadership roles, Leigh brings both clinical expertise and real-world understanding to her work with clients as well as organizations.

Leigh’s approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and trauma-informed care, integrating mindfulness-based and evidence-based therapies including Mindful Self-Compassion, Restorative Retelling for traumatic grief, somatic approaches, EMDR-informed techniques, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.

In her work with couples, Leigh utilizes ACT for Couples Therapy, is certified in Prepare-Enrich, and has advanced training in Discernment Counseling for couples considering separation.

Leigh is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), Certified Dementia Care Specialist (ECDCS), Certified Grief Educator, and Certified Holistic Life, Career, and Executive Coach. Her style is collaborative and practical, helping individuals and couples move through life’s most complex transitions with clarity and steadiness.

Leigh also offers evidence-based Workplace Wellness Workshops for companies, nonprofits, and small business teams, addressing the topics that show up most in today’s workplace, including stress management, psychological safety, work-life balance, burnout prevention, imposter syndrome, mindfulness-based regulation tools, and help for employees who are struggling to balance work responsibilities with caregiving responsibilities.  These workshops allow HR Leaders, People Operations Professionals, and Business Owners to offer their teams what they need in a 1-hour lunch-and-learn format, an extended 2-hour workshop, or in a series of workshops throughout the year.
