Creative & collaborative psychotherapy in the Upper Valley
Amy Fleischer LICSW
Sometimes, the initial call to therapy is sudden, such as a personal loss, trauma, or trouble in a relationship. Sometimes it is a persistent feeling of discomfort or distress that has been quietly with us for a long time. As a psychoanalytic psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience, I help adults, couples, and adolescents unravel and transform the patterns that may no longer serve them, paving the way toward greater insight, growth, and fulfillment.
About Amy
Long before becoming a psychotherapist, I was interested in the workings of the mind, and felt the call to be in a helping profession. After traveling and working abroad, I earned my Masters of Social Work degree at Smith College School for Social Work and my certification as a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist from the Boston Psychoanalytic Society and Institute (BPSI).
I’ve taught at the Smith College School for Social Work, as an adjunct clinical instructor in psychiatry at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth College, and on the psychotherapy faculty at BPSI. I serve on a national committee for psychotherapy education for the American Psychoanalytic Association. At BPSI, I also co-chair the annual Alan Pollack Psychotherapy Conference on the Nature of Transference and serve on both the Board of Trustees and the Committee for Ethical and Professional Standards. In addition to psychotherapy, I provide consultations, assessments, and clinical supervision to other area clinicians.
