Psychologist for EBT Los Angeles

Dr. Aly Fisher is a licensed clinical psychologist who earned her Psy.D. from the California School of Professional Psychology in Los Angeles, CA. In her graduate career, Dr. Fisher has been passionate about finding and utilizing evidence-based therapies to treat mood disorders. Her research has focused on enhancing dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for bipolar disorder and emotion dysregulation in adults.

Throughout her graduate studies, Dr. Fisher has received intensive clinical training in DBT and CBT, utilizing these modalities for varying clinical presentations (e.g. bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, OCD, panic). She has been certified in CBT by the Academy of Cognitive & Behavioral Therapies.

Prior to graduate school, Dr. Fisher completed her B.A. in Psychology at UC Berkeley, where she assisted in researching the effects of varying cognitive, behavioral, and social influences on bipolar disorder. Dr. Fisher completed her APA-accredited pre-doctoral clinical internship at Penn Medicine Princeton House Behavioral Health. There, Dr. Fisher’s clinical work focused on the acute treatment of PTSD, suicidal behavior, substance use, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. She served two six-month rotations in the Men’s Trauma and Women’s DBT program where she helped individuals during their most vulnerable moments move towards healing and regaining stability in their lives. Dr. Fisher completed her year-long APA-accredited postdoctoral training at a large evidence-based group practice in Los Angeles, where she became involved in the supervision and training of graduate students. Dr. Fisher currently serves as a supervisor in the DBT program for UCLA graduate students in the UCLA Psychology Clinic.

In addition to CBT and DBT, Dr. Fisher also utilizes acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to reduce emotional avoidance, and trauma treatments (CPT and PE) to help individuals overcome continued distress from trauma.

Her clinical interests include treating bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder for adults and adolescents. Her favorite part of her work lies in empowering clients to find compassion and empathy for themselves, while making valued-based changes in their lives. Dr. Fisher provides individual psychotherapy, consultation, and DBT skills groups.
