In August 2025, Boca Magazine named Dr. Lori Fish, LMFT, PhD as one of South Florida’s Medical Experts, spotlighting her work and leadership at Palm Beach Therapy Center. (Boca Raton Magazine) As the founder and clinical lead, Dr. Fish has built a practice rooted in deeply human, evidence-based therapy, supporting individuals, couples, and families through life’s most challenging transitions.
From Vision to Vital Practice
Armed with both a Master’s and Doctorate in Marriage and Family Therapy (Nova Southeastern University), Dr. Fish brings academic rigor and heartfelt insight to her clinical work.
Dr. Lori’s service areas span:
- Couples and marital therapy
- Life transitions
- Anxiety & depression
- Trauma recovery & grief
- Perinatal mental health
With more than 12 years of experience and certifications in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders, and EMDR, Dr. Fish crafts treatment plans that are tailored, flexible, and results-oriented.
As Boca Magazine describes it: “We work collaboratively … we consult as a team to ensure thoughtful, tailored treatment plans.”
This integrated approach allows Palm Beach Therapy Center to offer depth and nuance in care. Rather than a one-size-fits-all model, the team remains responsive to each client’s journey.
What Makes Palm Beach Therapy Center Different
1. Client-Centered, Collaborative Team Approach
At the heart of the practice is the idea that healing can be communal. While Dr. Fish leads, she collaborates with other clinicians, sometimes even consulting across schedules (with client consent) to enrich the therapeutic plan. This coherence across clinicians strengthens support and continuity for clients.
2. Efficiency with Empathy
Dr. Fish emphasizes that while every person’s journey is unique, meaningful progress can often be felt in just a few sessions:
“Many begin to see meaningful progress within just a few sessions, as we tailor our work to their individual needs and preferences.”
By integrating solution-focused brief therapy and evidence-based modalities, the aim is to honor both speed and depth.
3. Strength Through Specialization
Palm Beach Therapy Center’s team domain is broad (individual, couples, family) yet precise. By maintaining depth across key areas, such as perinatal issues, trauma recovery, and relational therapy, the practice is not a generalist so much as a well-honed specialist. Dr. Fish’s training in perinatal mental health, for instance, positions her well to support new parents navigating identity, communication, and emotional shifts.
4. Warmth + Rigor
Therapy isn’t just about technique, it’s about connection. Many clients seek therapists they feel seen by, and Palm Beach Therapy Center prioritizes that relational quality. This is evident in how client testimonials often speak of comfort, trust, and transformation (themes visible on the practice’s own site).
Inside a Session: What to Expect
A typical client journey might unfold like this:
- Initial evaluation & goals
Understanding your story, strengths, and change goals. - Tailored plan
Choosing modalities (e.g. EMDR, EFT, solution-focused) that match your needs. - Integration & adjustment
Reviewing progress, shifting direction as needed, and sometimes involving co-clinicians for insight. - Self-empowerment and closure
Strengthening internal tools so you can operate with more autonomy as therapy draws to a natural transition.
Because of the skilled use of targeted interventions, many clients report perceiving progress earlier than anticipated.
