Mary Fisher has been practicing psychotherapy since 2006. She earned her master's degree in counseling at Gonzaga University in 2005. She worked for five years on a doctorate in Counseling Psychology at the University of Utah, deepening her education by training at the Interpersonal Reconstructive Therapy Clinic at The Utah Neuropsychiatric Institute with treatment refractory patients, The University of Utah Counseling Center with students and faculty, and The Children's Center, where she focused on the treatment of very young children and parent-child pairs. Mary is a certified sex therapist through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT).
Mary maintains the distinction of being the one of the only certified reliable coders of the Adult Attachment Interview in Utah; she was certified by Dr. Mary Main and Dr. Eric Hesse in 2009.
Mary's research includes collaborative efforts with Dr. Adam Fisher of the Family Institute at Northwestern University on correlates of quality of life and relationship satisfaction among consensually non-monogamous people, with Dr. Paul Florsheim at the University of Utah on the help-seeking behaviors of homeless adolescents, with Dr. Lisa Bennett of Gonzaga University on hardiness and depression, and with Valerie Minchala and Dr. Lisa Bennett on domestic violence in same-sex relationships.
Mary's writing has appeared in Springer's forthcoming Encyclopedia of Couple and Family Therapy, and Sunstone.
