About Helen Fisher, LCpC
Betrayal was not the end of your story. Let’s build what comes next.
You remember a time when feeling safe in your relationship, trusting your own instincts, and waking up without that sick feeling in your stomach weren’t “the norm”…but those days feel like a distant memory. You don’t have to keep living in the aftermath, there is a way through.
You are in the right place:
Being here doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’re strong.
I’m Helen, and I help individuals and couples just like you: ones who have it within them to reclaim their sense of self and find their way back to love that feels real and safe, but just need the right support to get there.
How I work
At the core of my approach to therapy is a belief that pain, when met with the right compassion and guidance, has the extraordinary capacity to transform into something meaningful.
I help my clients find clarity, confidence, and peace by equipping them with the tools they need to understand what they truly need and begin to trust themselves and their relationships again.
Many of today’s approaches to infidelity recovery are rushed, surface-level, or treat every couple the same leaving so many individuals feeling unheard, or like they’re being managed through a process rather than truly healed. I know that what happened to you, and what you’re carrying, is unique to you. So every step we take together is tailored to where you are, what you need, and what you want your life to look like.
First, we create a space where your pain is fully witnessed, no minimizing, no rushing toward forgiveness before you’re ready, and no pressure to perform healing on anyone else’s timeline. Then, we work on rebuilding the emotional safety, self-trust, and communication that will be most effective for your specific situation. Through our work together, you’ll be equipped with the clarity, tools, and inner strength you need to move forward, with confidence in yourself, whatever path you choose.
Therapy with me is…
-
You won't be rushed toward forgiveness, pushed to make decisions before you're ready, or made to feel like your pain is an inconvenience to the process. From the moment you start the process, the only agenda is yours. Whatever you're carrying, the rage, the grief, the shame, the love that somehow still exists alongside all of it, there is room for all of it here.
-
I won't tell you what you want to hear. I'll tell you what I genuinely believe will help you heal. That means sometimes reflecting back things that are hard to sit with, gently challenging the stories that are keeping you stuck, and being direct with you in the way a trusted guide should be. But honesty, in this space, always comes wrapped in deep respect for who you are and what you've been through.
-
You may not be able to feel hope right now, and that's okay. That is exactly what I'm here for. Part of my role as your therapist is to hold hope for you on the days you can't hold it for yourself, to keep the light on when everything inside you has gone dark, and to remind you gently, consistently, and without agenda, that where you are right now is not where you will always be.
-
In 20 years of practice, the word I keep coming back to is not recovery, it's transformation. Recovery implies returning to what was. But the couples and individuals I've had the privilege of working with don't just go back, they go forward, into something they couldn't have imagined when they first started work with me. A relationship with more honesty than it ever had before. A life that, remarkably, feels more authentically yours than the one that existed before the betrayal.
