Haven Therapy
ha·ven -
a place of safety or refuge
Therapy for individuals, teens, and couples ready to understand what’s beneath the surface, heal from painful experiences, and build healthier relationships with themselves and the people they love.
Maybe you know something needs to change.
You don't have to have all the words for what you're experiencing before coming to therapy.
At Haven Therapy, I create space to understand what is happening beneath the surface — not simply manage the symptoms — so you can begin moving toward meaningful, lasting change.
In-person and online therapy in Spokane, WA.
HI, I’M EMILY FISHER, MA, LMFTA!
You deserve a space where you can be human.
I believe meaningful therapy happens through connection. I enjoy helping my clients identify negative patterns and aim to foster a relationship to help them feel less alone, lost, or frustrated with their current life struggles. My work is highly attachment-based, a framework that focuses on the impact of early relationships on an individual's emotional and psychological well-being and how that plays out in the present.

Life can feel overwhelming when you’re carrying emotional pain, relationship stress, or self-doubt. In individual therapy, I provide a warm and collaborative space where you can slow down, be understood, and begin to make sense of the hard.
-
I specialize in working with couples and help them navigate conflict, communication, and foster experiences of security, safety, and emotional vulnerability.

Many of us carry deep wounds from early relationship that shape how we connect, trust, and feel safe with others. When our emotional needs weren't met consistently, through neglect, emotional unavailability, criticism, or chaos – we may have learned to protect ourselves by disconnecting, people-pleasing, or feeling constantly on edge in relationships.

Discovering betrayal can turn your understanding of your relationship on its head. Whether you're navigating the impact individually or deciding how to move forward together, therapy can provide a place to stabilize, process what happened, and determine what healing looks like from here.

Sometimes you understand what happened intellectually, but your mind and body still respond as though the experience is happening now. EMDR can help your brain process distressing experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional weight.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
First sessions are used to get to know each other and narrow in on why you have decided to seek out therapy. I will ask questions regarding your personal background and current situation in order to help me understand who you are as a person and how I can come alongside you. My hope in the first session is for you to feel comfortable, address your potential problem and goals, as well as a chance for you to get to know me and see if it feels like a good fit for you!
-
Each client is different regarding determining the length of therapy. The number of sessions varies greatly depending on the client's needs. I want therapy to be whatever is most helpful for you, so that may look like a couple of months, and for some it may look like a year or longer. I hope to create a long-term relationship so that even when therapy services end, when life transitions or stressors come up in the future, you have the opportunity to reach back out!
-
Sessions for individuals are $150 per session and for couples $180 per session. I do not accept insurance, but I can provide a “superbill”, which is a document that you can submit to your insurance for reimbursement through out-of-network benefits.

This is very common, and you still have options. A great first step is a free consultation to talk through your concerns and goals in more detail. The consultation can be done individually or with your partner.
If you’re ready to begin and your partner isn’t, individual therapy can be a helpful place to start. You can focus on your own needs, patterns, and goals while giving your partner the space to decide if and when they’re ready to participate. If they become open to couples therapy later, we can discuss the best next steps together.

My work is attachment-focused and trauma-informed, incorporating approaches such as EMDR when appropriate.
Therapy isn’t about becoming someone different. It’s about understanding yourself with more compassion and learning new ways of responding, connecting, and moving forward.
Together, we’ll explore the experiences and relationships that have shaped you, understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and create space for something new.

Connection over judgment.
Therapy should be a place where you can be honest about what’s really happening without feeling judged or put into a box.Curiosity over criticism.
Instead of asking, “What’s wrong with me?” we can ask, “Why does this make sense?” Understanding creates room for change.Depth over quick fixes.
Lasting change often means looking beyond the immediate problem to understand what’s underneath it.Humanity over perfection.
You don't have to have everything figured out before you come to therapy. You can show up exactly as you are.Hope alongside honesty.
Therapy isn't about pretending everything is okay. It's about making space for what is difficult while believing that things can be different.
You don't have to know exactly what you need: that’s what the consults for.
We'll spend 15 minutes talking about what's bringing you to therapy, what you're hoping will change, and whether working together feels like the right fit.
