Sharon Fisher, M.S.S., L.C.S.W., B.C.D. is a Readjustment Counselor at the Bucks County Vet Center in Bristol, PA, I am providing trauma informed therapy for Veterans and their families through the VA since 2009. I also run Conscious Choices Counseling, a private practice in Philadelphia, PA. where I specialize in trauma therapy, mood disorders, LGBTQI+ concerns, and integrative body-mind therapies. Since graduating in 1996 from Bryn Mawr College School of Social Work with a Masters in Social Service, I have worked in numerous non-profit agencies focusing on individual, group, family and couple’s therapy ranging from helping survivors of domestic violence, to assisting recent immigrants in adjusting to living in the United States, to hospice social work, empowering at risk youth, and serving elderly Jewish populations. Prior to my career in social work, I earned a Masters in International Communication at American University and ran a consulting company designing and presenting cross-cultural training programs and seminars, taught English as a Second Language and Japanese Language classes, and assisted families in transition across professional cultural environments. Since 2011 I have been Certified in EMDR and became an EMDR Certified Consultant in November 2022 . In addition, I have completed Level One in IFS through a grant offered through the Vet Centers, has taken several advanced classes in IFS and EMDR. With a deep interest in how trauma impacts individuals, couples, and groups, is carried somatically within the body, within social systems, and across generations, I am also certified in Imago Therapy, Rubenfeld Synergy, and have been studying Native American wisdom traditions and healing for the past 14 years. In my spare time I am an active member of a choir and an improv music group, Music for People, that heals the soul through creatively sharing music in the moment.
