Annie Fisher

Natalie Fisher received her MSW from Rutgers University in 2008. She began her social work career at Planned Parenthood in Camden NJ supporting ob/gyn patients. That work led her across the street to Cooper Hospital where she learned all hospital departments but soon landed back working again with women in mother/infant, labor and delivery and NICU. After four years in hospital social work, she moved across the street to Cooper’s Women’s Care Center where she provided social work and therapy services at the outpatient ob/gyn resident clinic. It felt to be one of her given missions to help remove the stigma around  psychotherapy and provide an experience of therapy as a supportive relationship to the young women in the community. After four years, she left Cooper Health system and turned a part-time therapy practice into full-time.

In her South Jersey practice Natalie specializes in working with women of child-bearing age and with all issues surrounding pregnancy, particularly post-partum depression as well as serving the LGBTQ community. Natalie has been a dedicated student and teacher of Gene Gendlin’s process of focusing for over a decade and in the last 6 years has studied Internal Family Systems, a similar model. She takes special interest in helping clients learn to listen to the body’s communications. Energy psychology has also supported her understanding of how people heal. Entering Rutgers DSW program is a response to that enduring interest in healing as well as an opportunity to deepen her clinical knowledge. 

Natalie is a proud mother of an adult daughter who has a social worker’s heart and teaches yoga.
