I hold a belief that every individual I come across holds within him/herself the power to heal. My role is to help those individuals access their power when they feel they have none. I specialize in the treatment of trauma and addictive disorders and I am passionate about bringing a sense of hope and empowerment to the individuals I serve. My hope is that individuals will learn to embrace their power and find connection with others who share similar experiences, bringing them closer to their personal healing and, ultimately, to the life they dream of living.

I have worked with trauma and addictive disorders since 2005 and am currently the Owner/Trauma Specialist Individual & Family Psychotherapy at Brave Counseling and Consulting. I am trained in the Comprehensive Resource Model which is intended for the treatment of trauma and related disorders.

Our practice offers supportive modalities of treatment including Craniosacral therapy, a Registered Dietitian as well as many movement groups (Yoga, NIA) and varying support groups. In addition, we offer an intensive outpatient program for individuals who require a higher level of care, keeping them with practitioners they trust.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional who finds great joy in assisting people during trying times back into a healthier and happier life. I have a warm and non-judgemental approach that provides an opportunity to adress both short and long term goals, crisis situations, and long-term underlying issues. I help my clients explore their past and how it is showing up in their present. Working with those struggling after trauma led me to become a Comprehensive Resource Model Professional. I am also EMDR Trained (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).  My work focuses on major issues including couples and families in crisis, intimacy issues, eating disorders, anxiety and depression, and victims of violent acts to name a few.
I have a passion for working with all ages, races, cultures and orientations. I incorporate guided imagery, art, and play therapy techniques into my sessions. My goal is to help individuals, couples, and families to release their traumas without overwhelming them, to help them find healthier ways of communicating and regain the ability to live with themselves as well as others.
“…be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.” ~(NIV) 2 Chronicles 15:7

” My therapeutic goal is to be a witness, champion, 

and a co-creative guide to a life path that gently unfolds and

 awakens. Therapy is an invitation to create a life fully engaged and embraced.”

Kelli Sherine Fisher LMFT

Kelli received her MA in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles. Her clinical orientation is Attachment Theory and Positive Psychology with an emphasis on Narrative Theory.  Post graduation, she began working in the field of addiction plus mental illness. Upon realizing the level of trauma beneath both challenges, she began focusing on Somatic Therapy to help gently address the suffering she was witnessing. This focus now informs her practice and the results are amazing.

She is currently using as her main trauma processing modality, Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM). CRM is the cutting edge in trauma therapy. It is an advanced technique that incorporates many somatic/ spiritual / neurophysiological modalities into one discipline. She is also a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) through Peter Levine’s Foundation for Human Enrichment and she holds level 1 & 2 EMDR training through Laura Parnell’s attachment based EMDR Institute.

Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, Kelli was an Orthopedic Massage Therapist with a BS in Sports Medicine/ Exercise Science. She continues to practice this healing art celebrating 30+ years. This interest in life science continues in Kelli’s studies in Neuroscience and her fascination with Somatic Therapies’ ability to resolve trauma and change neurobiology.

Kelli has also spent 30yrs. studying indigenous cultures and spirituality and these studies inform her practice as well. She has a deep respect for nature and she integrates native practices into her work in a very organic and supportive way.

She is also an accomplished textile artist so she also understands the challenges of going into the void and creating beauty. And in her spare time, she is a marmalade & jam maker, jewelry designer and gardener.
