“Throughout my career, I have never lost the sense of joy I feel when connecting with children, teens, and young adults. It is immensely gratifying to help a struggling young person gain a sense of relief from anxiety or pain and move forward with optimism. My most significant teachers have been the clients and families with whom I have worked.” ~ Robert Fischer, MD
