Greetings, Everyone! I'm Percival Fisher, Jr., but you can simply call me "Percy." With 13 years of experience, I've been dedicated to providing both individual and group psychotherapy. My goal is to assist you in achieving your therapy objectives by creating a safe, warm, and interactive space to explore your presenting issues. I bring expertise in addressing a range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, anger, trauma, "coming out"/LGBTQIA-related issues, and family conflicts. To tailor the therapeutic experience to your unique needs, I employ a diverse set of treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Trauma-Informed Therapy, Harm Reduction, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Crisis Intervention, and Relational Therapeutic techniques. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Florida, North Carolina, California, Oregon, Arizona, Washington (LICSW), and West Virginia (LICSW), I am also a Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work (BCD) by the American Board of Examiners in Clinical Social Work. Additionally, I hold certifications as a Certified Complex Trauma Professional (CCTP-II) from the International Association of Trauma Professionals and a Certified Case Manager (CCM) from the Commission for Case Management Certification. Beyond psychotherapy, my background spans behavioral health research, HIV/AIDS education and counseling, teaching, medical social work, and leadership. During my leisure time, I indulge in watching Marvel series on Netflix, psychological thrillers, reading, traveling, engaging in conversations about current events related to mental health, and staying active through workouts. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to work with you and support your journey. Take care! Percival Fisher, Jr., MSW, LCSW-C. LICSW, LCSW, BCD, CCTP-II, CCM

Congrats on taking this first step for yourself! I am a fully Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Washington State. I received my Master of Arts in Psychology, Child, Couple, and Family Therapy at Antioch University in 2015. I have been practicing within the field since 2013. My recent focus has been working with individual adults to reach recovery, symptom management and acceptance of anxiety, depression, and trauma. I initially focused on treating severe mental illness, crisis intervention, family therapy, and adolescents. I work to help clients develop healthy coping skills, reduce stress, and work through family of origin challenges. I work with the client each step of the way to identify which methods work well with them and pivot as needed. I provide creative and active therapy, you won’t just be taught skills you will be walked through them in session, and that includes but is not limited to breathwork, grounding, mindfulness skills, and assertive communication skills. I am passionate about mind-body connection, and use of approaches such as mindfulness, and behavioral interventions. This is my calling. I am passionate about understanding the mechanisms of healing, applying them to my own life, and facilitating the healing in others. I draw from evidence-based, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Trauma Informed Care, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I fully believe everyone has the answers to their life questions within themselves, and my job is simply to facilitate inner healing, connection, and growth. I can provide a coaching style approach. I value a stable connection first and foremost, healing can more easily occur when we feel seen, heard, and understood. Our first session should be relatively relaxed, we go over therapy basics and mandated reporting. We may go over what your history of therapy has been if you have had one. We will discuss what brings you here, a bit of my theory and orientation, and go with the flow of conversation. Getting to know one another takes time, so there is no rush on anything specific. You do not have to answer anything I ask as well, as it's about getting to know one another and developing a trusting and safe atmosphere. I look forward to meeting you. We will discuss your diagnosis and review your basic therapy goals. Over time your goals may change, my goal is to stay in step with what your goals are and help you break them down into smaller, achievable goals. I look forward to working with you, and facilitating your healing process.

Hi Friend, This is a little about me. First and foremost I am a regular and down-to-earth guy. At times Counseling professionals and other helping professionals can can get reputations to "high and mighty", "up on a pedestal", or 'holier than thou". I am a regular 40 year old man who is balding and slightly overweight. I have made mistakes in my life as I'm sure you have. I do not have a magic wand to make your life better in a hurry. What I do have is an open ear, a caring heart, a good education, and about 15 years in counseling a wide variety of people and issues. Of these the most common issues I have helped others with are overcoming symptoms of depression, anxiety, addiction, and common family issues. As I mentioned earlier there is no magic to what I do but we can work toward goals and talk it out.
