I practice both Psychoanalysis and Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy on the Westside of LA and online if necessary. If you would like to know more about the difference between therapy and analysis, please reach out. I have contributed to professional psychoanalytic literature including publishing three books and over 60 articles, essays and book chapters. I also have 30 years of experience in analyzing and supervising clinicians in the field of mental health. In 2016 I was named Faculty of the Year at the New Center for Psychoanalysis. And in 2020 I was awarded Distinguished Psychoanalytic Educator by the International Federation of Psychoanalytic Educators (IFPE). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee3fa7bd5dfb43e541ec5d6/1599758789026-4LVA8PSEWPHPJEUZ4Y2O/IMG_1020.jpg About Me + Our Work - Things to consider in working with me… Do you ever wonder why your personal and professional relationships are so unfulfilling? Have you wondered how your view of yourself impacts your success both personally and professionally? Have you considered why aspects of stress and sadness interfere with the possibilities for pleasure and deeper engagement with life? Do you understand why you feel disengaged and disconnected in your interactions with others? If you feel shut down about your capacity to be spontaneous and to feel more alive, you might welcome the opportunity to begin a collaborative therapeutic experience. Therapy with me can be useful in helping deepen your self-understanding and awareness as to why significant aspects of your life might not be working as well as you would like them. https://www.drjimmyfisher.com/media daily 0.75 2026-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee3fa7bd5dfb43e541ec5d6/3be95278-5c4d-4534-812d-7a780a6707dd/RichardAlmondBookReview.png Interview, Research + Publications - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee3fa7bd5dfb43e541ec5d6/cfe7cd6e-4d1e-4f8f-9a30-91cde0a35f34/AmazonReviewsR1.jpg Interview, Research + Publications - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee3fa7bd5dfb43e541ec5d6/18a13e74-8ba1-450a-94f6-06c0b1ade104/JAPAscreenshot Interview, Research + Publications - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee3fa7bd5dfb43e541ec5d6/1599839788254-RSBM7B02QDL2JF96CVCN/IMG_3179.jpg Interview, Research + Publications - Interview with Adam Phillips. In this broad-ranging interview with Dr. Fisher, Phillips shares aspects of his psychoanalytic education and his analysis with the controversial Masud Khan. He discusses his Jewish identity and the ways in which anti-Semitism played a part in his life. There are fascinating comments on Freud and Winnicott, as he situates his inner connection to both theorists. He explores his views of psychoanalytic interpretation and listening strategies, relationality and sociability, and the optimal ways an analyst can approach his patients. It is an excellent point of entry into understanding him and his prolific publications. This event was hosted by The New Center for Psychoanalysis in 2018.

Fund I am pleased to announce the publication of my late wife, Karen Fund's book, "Surrogate: How A Woman Named Sandra Made Me a Mother." Karen tells the moving story about her pioneering and harrowing experience with surrogacy in the relentless pursuit of motherhood. This poignant narrative will assist infertile couples considering surrogate adoption and older women who desire to be mothers. The book will be helpful to mental health professionals working with infertile patients and to those considering new reproductive technologies. Jimmy Fisher supplements Karen's unique essay with a portrait of her providing context. There is also an illuminating interview with Sandra Hopkins, the surrogate mother, addressing her experience and its impact on her life. Finally, here is a courageous piece by Chloe B. Fisher expressing her feelings about being the daughter of a surrogate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee3fa7bd5dfb43e541ec5d6/1599760825108-ZOGPTZNPHN2NSD9ALMDQ/Romain.jpg Interview, Research + Publications “Analyzing Rolland's itinerary of engaged stands, David James Fisher clarifies aspects of European cultural history and helps decipher the ambiguities at the heart of all forms of intellectual engagement.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee3fa7bd5dfb43e541ec5d6/1599760685207-OMYZ97EDUG2CDYTQKS5V/Bettelheim.jpg Interview, Research + Publications “Fisher gives a realistic representation of Bruno Bettelheim as a human being, full of contradictions and frailties a man who found in psychoanalysis not just a profession, but his true purpose in life.” in: The Psychoanalytic Quarterly, Vol. LXXIX, No. 3, 2010 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ee3fa7bd5dfb43e541ec5d6/1599760717611-6L7ZBA1HQLCPM2OU64EQ/Cultural+Theory.jpg Interview, Research + Publications “In this carefully crafted evaluation of various authors and subjects, Fisher's perceptions are informed by a deep and comprehensive knowledge of the psychoanalytic movement, its interaction with the wider context of European cultural and political history, and its philosophical and clinical origins.” https://www.drjimmyfisher.com/home daily 1.0 2026-02-13 https://www.drjimmyfisher.com/contact daily 0.75 2026-02-13 https://www.drjimmyfisher.com/sign-up daily 0.75 2025-05-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce46ee21028260001017459/1558550191322-X47MBVEQV4F57QXT4DZ7/20170619S1_Professional_Trainer_Toes_009.jpg Sign Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce46ee21028260001017459/1558550191114-X5GS0CL71T2PC1KN934C/PDN41.jpg Sign Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce46ee21028260001017459/1558550190741-HKGEHTREIL6AFRRDMGL7/096300-R1-20.jpg Sign Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce46ee21028260001017459/1558550190838-YRH5DL1N40S92CYLNFD5/PDN13.jpg Sign Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce46ee21028260001017459/1558550190637-5XFCDVH3IYWHD1HXUFQX/20170619S1_Professional_Trainer_Trainer_Portrait_032.jpg Sign Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce46ee21028260001017459/1558550357787-I1LBEFL5UIPB0SUHCFJH/20170619S1_Professional_Trainer_Running_Backwards_034.jpg Sign Up https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce46ee21028260001017459/1560272524094-TSRDPC9UVSWHDEXEUP2Z/20170619S1_Professional_Trainer_Model_Panting_064.jpg Sign Up https://www.drjimmyfisher.com/newsletter daily 0.75 2025-05-12
