MSW Intern

Lawson Fishlander (he/him/his)

Beginning therapy can feel like a big step, but you do not have to walk the path alone. As an MSW Intern, I strive to provide a safe, welcoming, and empowering environment where you feel fully seen and validated. My practice is explicitly anti-oppressive, anti-racist, and dedicated to social and environmental justice, recognizing the profound ways that societal structures impact personal well-being.
