Laura Fish MS, LMFT

Welcome, I’m glad you’ve arrived.
I provide virtual therapy throughout California.

You do not have to suffer…
Therapy starts with feeling truly seen, heard, understood, and supported by someone like me—trained and experienced in providing the tools you need to create meaningful change. While pain may be inevitable, suffering does not have to be. With counseling, you can discover the tools and knowledge to cultivate a life filled with balance, ease, health, and joy.

Things can change…
My approach is relationship-driven and person-centered, meaning I do not impose a one-size-fits-all method of therapy. Instead, I meet each individual, couple, or family with an open mind, listening deeply to your lived experience. Together, we create a healing process that honors your values, beliefs, and perceptions. By exploring your readiness for change, identifying support systems, and tailoring interventions to your unique needs, we can successfully navigate the journey toward meaningful transformation.

I am here to help…
Finding the right therapist may feel like a daunting task, but I hope to make the process easier for you. While insurance coverage is often a key consideration, I encourage you to consider additional variables that contribute to an effective therapeutic experience. Please access the rest of my website to learn about those factors and see if I am a fit for you. If you have any questions, I am just an email away and happy to help.

Approach

I do not see myself as a doctor trying to “fix” you or your family. Instead, I partner with individuals, couples, children, and families to co-create the knowledge and skills needed to enhance your health and well-being.

Our work together begins with clear agreements about the content and process of therapy, ensuring it aligns with your needs. My role is to be fully present, listening with compassion and non-judgment while providing clear, practical, and evidence-based tools for you to explore. Your role is to share your experiences in whatever way feels safe and comfortable for you. Together, we craft a plan tailored to your goals, empowering you to make meaningful and lasting changes in your life.

As Murakami said, “Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.”

In My Client’s Words…

My experience with Laura…so many amazing things I want to say about her and her skills. She is warm and relaxing, I never felt judged. She was able to give me the skills with my anxiety issues to re-focus my thoughts and with that came a long hard journey of weight loss. Laura also helped me with some deep rooted anger I had towards my father and pretty much repaired our relationship. If you have issues with yourself, your family, or no issues at all but want someone to bounce your thoughts off of, Laura is your girl. She is so wise I nicknamed her Yoda, and believe me, it holds true.

“I’m a survivor of childhood trauma and have done a LOT of work and study over the years. I have very high standards for a therapist and have seen many I wouldn’t go back to. If I feel like I know more than my therapist, it won’t work. My experience with Laura was exceptional. She is very smart and intellectually capable, while also being caring and compassionate. I liked that it wasn’t just talk. Laura led me through specific exercises, that were based on modern research and brain science. She also gave me techniques I could try on my own. She was very open-minded and integrated her recommendations with holistic practices I already had found effective for me. Laura’s genuine nature made it easy for me to establish a trust. Laura was completely present and fully vested in my growth & healing at every session.”

“As most men, I was on the fence about seeking therapy. I’m so glad I got past it and went through it with Laura. The therapy doesn’t go on forever and it’s about getting to the root of your issues. However, the best part was the experience of having someone sincerely LISTEN, without talking over me or judging in any way. Laura is a true professional and a pleasure to work with.”
