At the intersection of mind, body, and spirit healing lies the pioneering work of Amy Fischer, BSW, MSW, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of counseling experience. As the founder of MindOasis Counseling in Peoria, IL, Amy has cultivated a unique therapeutic approach that goes beyond traditional talk therapy, focusing on empowering women and teen girls to embrace their inner strength and capacity for self-healing.
Amy's expertise is grounded in a diverse array of therapeutic modalities, each carefully selected to address the complex needs of her clients.

Understanding that true wellness encompasses more than just the mind, she incorporates therapeutic art and even offers DoTerra essential oils to support mental wellness. This integrative approach reflects her commitment to treating the whole person - mind, body, and spirit.
Amy's practice is built on a foundation of compassion and understanding. She promises to be there for her clients every step of their journey, helping them grow from past struggles, work through pain, learn self-love, and move forward towards happiness and healing success.
