Meet Eliana
Hi, I'm Eliana
I'm Eliana Fisher, a therapist and parent based in Forsyth, Illinois, just outside Decatur. I work with children, adults, parents, and professionals through telehealth across Illinois, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Washington. In-person sessions may be available upon request in the Forsyth and Decatur area.
How I work
My approach is collaborative, with direction when it is helpful. Together, we identify your concerns and develop goals for our work. I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, strength-based approaches, mindfulness, and multicultural perspectives, adapting the work to your needs.
My experience
I have worked in medical, research, education, and home settings. Before private practice, I spent five years in a medical center, collaborating with primary care providers, pediatricians, OB/GYN providers, and other professionals on behavioral health concerns. My experience includes supporting children and families, young adults, minority populations, and underserved communities.
