Meet Heather Fisher
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) through the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), I bring a diverse background and a wealth of education and experience to my practice. I hold a Bachelor of Arts Degree and have completed my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. In addition to my academic credentials, I have a background in Family Mediation and alternative dispute resolution, further enriching my ability to support individuals in navigating life's challenges.
With a deep passion for supporting individuals across diverse contexts, I bring extensive experience in crisis intervention, victim support services, and promoting the mental health and well-being of first responders. My commitment to the mental health of first responders is rooted in a profound understanding of the unique challenges they face, as well as the critical importance of fostering mental resilience within this community. Through my work, I strive to ensure that those who serve on the front lines receive the support and care they deserve to thrive both professionally and personally.
My Approach
Within my practice, I integrate a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR therapy), with a client-centered approach. I am dedicated to providing compassionate and evidence-based therapy services tailored to meet your unique needs.
I provide psychotherapy services for individuals, groups, and couples and empower my clients to actively participate in their healing journey by collaboratively setting goals, exploring individual strengths, and tailoring interventions to their specific needs.
In session, my priority is to establish a strong therapeutic alliance based on empathy, respect, and genuine connection. I believe that trust is the foundation of effective therapy, and I work diligently to foster an atmosphere where you feel valued, understood, and empowered.

First Responder Mental Health
I provide culturally competent trauma therapy for those serving in high-stress professions such as law enforcement, firefighting, emergency medical services, and dispatch. I am trained to understand the unique challenges faced by first responders, including trauma exposure, operational stress, and the demands of the job. I offer a safe and confidential space for first responders to process their experiences, manage stress, address trauma-related symptoms, and build resilience.
