Shari Fish, M.Ed
While earning my Master’s degree in Educational Psychology/Counseling, I was searching for an efficient, effective, and positive means to help my clients overcome self-doubt, stress, anxiety, habitual behaviors, personal challenges, and life transitions in order to create healthier, richer and more balanced lives. Thus began my personal and professional journey into coaching and consulting. Through the facets of Positive Psychology and the coaching practices of Appreciative Inquiry and Motivational Interviewing, I help clients to identify and celebrate their personal strengths, values, and motivators while creating lasting change. In 2009, I founded Shari Fish Wellness, a consulting and coaching practice focused on teens, young adults, and women. Understanding that each individual I work with is unique, I provide coaching tailored to their personalities and goals. Client recommendations available upon request.

“I was going through a rough patch in life personally and professionally for a few years. I had gone to Shari’s pre-college workshop 7 years before and remembered how helpful and empathetic she was then. I knew if anyone could help me get through what I was going through, it would be her. After just a year with Shari, I am the happiest I have ever been. I made a drastic career change and even moved to a new city! I know it wouldn’t have been possible without Shari’s guidance and positivity. I can’t recommend Shari enough. Thank you for giving me my life back, Shari.”
