Karly Fischer, MA (she/her)
As a therapist, I bring a playful, authentic, and open-minded approach to my work, fostering a non-judgmental space where curiosity and growth are encouraged. My approach acknowledges the many layers that make up a person, including navigating societal, educational, or familial systems that may not align with their needs. I aim to empower clients to live their truth in their daily lives, incorporating a variety of therapeutic approaches like somatic work, mindfulness, and creative therapies, tailored to meet each client's unique needs. My practice is grounded in person-centered, humanistic, and existential frameworks, with a focus on systemic and constructionist perspectives. My goal is to equip you with the tools and skills that resonate most with you, guiding you along your designated path.
I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ individuals, drawing from my own experiences as an out and proud queer person. I understand the value of being fully seen as your most authentic self. In the past, I have co-facilitated peer support groups for trans and non-binary folks, as well as women coming out later in life, which I’m excited to bring to Interna. I also enjoy working with individuals looking to change their relationship with drugs and alcohol, as a person in recovery. I believe that everyone has the power within themselves to learn, change, and grow. I encourage my clients to live in their values toward a more integrated life.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy listening to podcasts and audiobooks while walking the lakes, exploring new restaurants, playing games with friends, playing disc golf, and spending time relaxing with my cats.
