More About Brittany Galego Fischer

I am a multilingual (English, Spanish, & Portuguese) Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA) with clinical experience working with children, adolescents, and adults, including 2SLGBTQIA+, Latinx, immigrant, and foster/adopted parenting communities. I work with clients individually, dyadically, and in groups. I hope to convey warmth, compassion, and non-judgemental curiosity to every client with whom I am honored to enter into a clinical partnership. Meeting you where you are at, my aim is to provide a safe and confidential environment in which we can collaboratively explore factors that may be impeding your ability to live an engaged and meaningful life on your terms, as well as ways to overcome them. My responsibility as a clinician is to help you feel seen, heard, and understood after every session and more deeply connected to your mind, body, and heart.

Recognizing that healing does not occur in a vacuum, I approach my clinical work through an inclusive liberation-focused lens that acknowledges systems of oppression, validates their impact on you, and champions your identities with respect to gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, religion and spirituality, neurodivergence, body expression and body size, and dis/ability. Navigating the intersection of our respective individual identities through open dialogue, with careful consideration of privileged and historically marginalized identities, is of the highest importance to me.

As a white queer Portuguese-American non-binary femme, grandchild of immigrants, and former youth caregiver, I bring a well of compassion, inner tenacity, grounded humor, and lived experience that inform my clinical work. While the approach I take varies depending on each person’s circumstances, I practice holistically and eclectically, and I am strongly influenced by psychodynamic/psychoanalytic theories, particularly contemporary relational psychodynamic thought and psychodynamic play therapy, mindfulness and contemplative practices and modalities, expressive arts therapies, trans-affirming Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), humanistic and multicultural feminist thought, somatics, and parts work (Internal Family Systems). I specialize in anxiety, gender and sexuality concerns, identity exploration, depression, trauma, including complex trauma, life transitions, grief and loss, and complex relational dynamics.

In my free time, I feel at home in nature, and I feel grateful to call North Carolina home. Mindful movement through swimming, running, and yoga, especially with those dear to me, keep me grounded. A lifelong explorer, I love to travel and yearn to visit every continent during my life.
