Eliza Fixler, LSW
I am an LSW clinician with experience working with adults with a variety of mental health concerns. Common areas of focus in my sessions include symptoms of OCD, phobias, panic disorder and other anxiety disorders, PTSD, depression, and shame. I am also passionate about working with clients experiencing relationship conflict, communication issues, and destabilizing life transitions. I am allied with the trans and nonbinary communities. I enjoy working with clients to explore social and medical transitions, and can write surgery referral letters for gender affirming surgeries.
My approach to therapy is client-centered. I draw from a range of therapeutic interventions based on client needs and preferences, from CBT based, to more psychodynamic approaches. I have particularly loved pursuing continuing education in Exposure and Response Prevention, inference-based CBT (i-CBT), Internal Family Systems, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and somatic interventions.
I am committed to helping clients build awareness of personal patterns, and come into alignment with their own values in order to find greater day-to-day fulfillment. I have a warm demeanor, an appreciation for going deep in sessions, and put a strong emphasis on unconditional positive regard.
