Dr. Stone Fish has researched, practiced, taught, and supervised trauma-informed couple and family therapy for over 30 years. Dr. Stone Fish also specializes in working with LGBTQ families. She recently co-authored the book, “Treating complex trauma: A relational blueprint for collaboration and change,” which is based on a clinically evaluated treatment model for individual, couple, and family therapy with clients who have experienced violence and complex trauma. She has been training nationally and internationally on the Collaborative Change Model, and recently received funding from two local community agencies to do a preliminary study on the training model for work with Syracuse inner city helping professionals who may be suffering from vicarious traumatization.
