About
As a disabled genderqueer person, I approach life struggles from multiple directions, asking "What changes do I need to make to solve this problem?" and, at the same time, "What changes does society need to make to solve this problem?
Sophia Fisher is a licensed independent social worker (LISW-S) with 9 years of experience in the mental health field. As a therapist, they help individuals process and make meaning from past experiences while working toward significant and hopeful change. She specializes in supporting adults and adolescents in navigating struggles like life transitions, identity development, trauma, depression, anxiety, and systemic stress.
Sophia completed a combined Master of Social Work/Master of Public Health at The Ohio State University. They are trained in the use of EMDR therapy (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy) to process and heal past trauma. She has also completed Star Behavioral Health Provider training, which teaches civilian clinicians to better serve military-connected individuals.
As a nerdy, disabled, genderqueer person from a religious background, Sophia is acutely aware of the complexities of navigating a world that isn’t designed for you. They use this awareness to make space for all kinds of people, especially those whose mental health is not prioritized by our society. Sophia’s approach is collaborative and flexible, helping clients understand how past experiences shape present patterns while building practical skills for healing, resilience, and personal growth.
You are the expert on your own life, and your therapist’s role is to support you in reaching the goals that matter most to you. Sophia would love to help you develop the tools to move forward in your life with clarity and confidence. If you are ready to begin, reach out to schedule an appointment.

As one who has experienced trauma of her own, a mother, and a therapist of six years, I am here to help guide through life's difficulties, listen to the good, the bad, and watch you accomplish the goals we establish together at the beginning of our therapeutic process.
My name is Whitney Saunders and my professional background is social work and outpatient therapy. I have a Master's degree in social work as well as my Independent Social Work License. I have worked with children and families in some capacity since 2015. Since receiving my Master's degree in 2019, I have continued to serve children and families in outpatient therapy settings. I have worked with clients from the ages of five to 50 who have experienced or are experiencing PTSD, depression, and anxiety. In many of these cases, clients are seeking assistance with crisis stabilization or minimization of other mental health symptoms.
Through the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and brief solution-focused therapy, I have been able to assist many clients in achieving their goals of crisis stabilization, harm reduction, and overall minimization of mental health symptoms.
The relationship you have with your therapist is what makes therapy successful. With that, I place emphasis on the rapport-building phase of treatment. The most important thing to remember is you are in control of your therapeutic process—I am here to SUPPORT and GUIDE.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

With Thriveworks, Online therapy is an effective alternative to in-person therapy services in which a client can speak to a Thriveworks therapist remotely via online video conferencing. Online sessions are just as effective as in-person treatment, but they can also provide added benefits like reduced travel time, saving money on transportation or childcare, and increased access to care.
Online therapy works much like traditional in-person therapy but takes place through secure video conferencing. Clients can attend Online therapy from any safe place they choose that has access to the internet, whether that be their home or another easily accessible place. Like in-person treatment, a therapist will work with their client to address their concerns, create goals, and establish an effective treatment plan.
There is no best option for online therapy—instead, it’s best to focus on finding a provider that meets your specific needs and with whom you can form a professional connection with.
Yes, online therapy is just as effetive for many clients as in-person sessions.
Online therapy can last for a few months to years depending on the goals and symptoms of the client. The treatment process will be unique to each client and lend itself to their specific concerns, which means that the time it takes to treat them will always be different. Timing is also up to the client themselves; they are free to stop therapy whenever they please, especially if they feel they have reached their goals and addressed their concerns.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
