Online therapy California

For adults who grew up
emotionally unseen.

You functioned. You were capable, thoughtful, low-maintenance. But something essential was missing. Therapy is a space where your inner world is finally taken seriously.

What I work with

Emotional neglect

Growing up without your inner world being noticed or named. The quiet wound beneath a functional life.

Self-esteem & shame

The inner critic. The persistent sense of not being quite enough. Learning to meet yourself with more kindness.

Relationships

Communication, intimacy, couples work. Understanding the patterns you bring from your history.

Vera Fleischer, LMFT

A California therapist,
based in Germany.

I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California, offering telehealth sessions to adults in the state. I hold early morning sessions (7–11am PST), which many professionals appreciate before the workday begins.

Living between cultures has deepened my understanding of identity, adaptation, and the subtle ways we learn to disappear in order to belong.

My practice draws on Gestalt therapy, EMDR, and an anti-oppressive, feminist framework.
