Noah Fischer

Starting this work, I found myself frequently energized at the idea of working with clients in unique, personal ways that highlighted their dynamic needs and gave space for flexibility in our work together. I just could not imagine having to pull out the same tools in a variety of different contexts and when working with different clients, knowing that we all have individual needs, perspectives, and beliefs. My approach as a therapist focuses on meeting each client where they are at, developing a collaborative plan ensuring they are in the driver's seat, and nurturing the duality of the counselling process. In honouring your unique placement in the world, all of its intersections and nuances, my hope is for you to feel seen, validated, and confident in our ability to work towards your goals together. 

When starting work with a client, my priority is to help them determine what they might need from therapy and how to make the most of their time. Simply stated, there is no “right” way to engage with this process. I hope to help you feel supported and safe so that we can nurture a sense of comfort with personal exploration and growth that might not be possible in other relationships. Ultimately, you are the expert in your life and honouring this experience marks a critical cornerstone of what this process means to me. Focusing on curiosity, perspective expansion, and fostering safety, I like to consider my role in the therapeutic space to be one of reflection. Imagining a client at the center, the more I learn about you, and we explore together, I will adjust the “mirrors” to help give light to new themes, discover patterns, and work towards a greater sense of self. 

As I emphasize the innate genuineness of this work, I also bring my own self to the room at each session. Just as I look forward to knowing you, there might be aspects of myself that might be beneficial for me to share. We might share humour, laugh, cry, reflect, and more, and the flexibility of my approach and identity in this role is one of the aspects I think offers the most value. I look forward to working with you and learning about your story!
