Real Change, Real Stories: Parents Testify to the Positive Outcomes Achieved with Dr. Fisher
Dr. Fisher has done amazing work with a special little girl I have been taking to him for nearly two years. He is our partner in helping raise a secure strong well-adjusted child. We can’t thank him enough for his caring help.
My son is 8 and won’t speak with just anyone. We have had several Drs he refused to talk to. Dr. Fisher is really good with the kids. He jokes with them and asks the tough questions in a comfortable way. I definitely recommend dr Fisher for child therapy. My daughter is terrified of men and she even loved talking to him. (He wasn’t even her therapist)
