About Jeff Fry

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been working in the field for over 30 years. In my career I have worked in many different settings with many different populations. I have come to believe that most of us struggle in life due to our environment not fitting us. We do also have a history and that is relevant and critical to where we are at this point in our lives. How we navigate the world we find ourselves in at the present is critical. To be plain we all need to understand our nature. Each one of us has strengths and weaknesses. Depending on the setting sometimes what is a strength in one area becomes a weakness in another. And of course the reverse is also true. I jokingly tell people that we all need to figure out what is our ice cream flavor. I see no reason to contribute to peoples feelings that they have something wrong with them. Or that they are not normal. We simply are healthy in our lives or we feel unhealthy in our own lives. My goal is to help people figure out what will make them healthy. Most answers are right in front of us and they make sense when someone help us see them.

My style is straight forward, but hopefully not rude or cruel. I strive to help everyone feel hopeful and empowered. I will explain in as much detail as desired about why I think the way I do about any issue. People want to feel progress so I attempt to help them move forward as quickly as possible. There is no magic. If whatever i say doesn’t make sense then challenge me. My goal is to simple help you meet your goal.

My primary intervention style is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I borrow from many other styles when i feel it is appropriate, but I find that CBT is the most logical framework to best help people.

My areas of expertise:
ADHD
Depression
Anxiety
OCD
Relationship Issues
Parenting issues
Grief
Behavioral Problems

Other areas of experience include:
I also work a great deal with LGBTQ issues, Work place issues, PTSD, Military and Veterans Issues. I also work with anger issues, divorce issues, and co-parenting problems. I have seen a lot of things in 30 years. If someone wants to find out if I have worked with their issue and I am comfortable helping them I welcome them contacting me to ask.

“Jeff has been very helpful to me over the last couple of months I have seen him. He offers great insight, is easy to talk to, and gives me good information regarding my treatment. Great guy, better therapist, would absolutely recommend.”

“Jeff is a good therapist and gives good advice during our session’s.”

“One of the best counselors I've ever had”

“He is awesome”

“After several sessions with Jeff Fry, I'm happy to comment on my experience with him. I found his knowledge of mental health quite broad as well as deep, informed by many years of experience in the field. He is able to pinpoint areas of interest very quickly and offer ways to address concerns in a very practical manner. He offers very clear explanations of what he has observed, placing situations within identifiable conditions and mapping out expected behaviours, risks, and advantages. He helps to bring great clarity to confusing, vague and concerning situations, always proposing ways to navigate through the problem. I enjoy the sessions with him and have been able to see things from new and different perspectives.”
