Codi Fiala, MS, PLPC

Therapy is one of the few places where we get to slow down and be fully honest with ourselves. I feel blessed to sit with people in those moments. Being a witness to someone’s story is a privilege I hold with deep care, and I never take it lightly.

I work with individuals who are navigating transitions, struggling with emotional regulation, rebuilding self esteem, facing relationship challenges, searching for purpose, or carrying anxiety, depression, family stress, or trauma. My hope is that when you walk into my space, you feel calm and safe enough to come exactly as you are. To breathe and to share the deeper emotions that often stay hidden. When we feel safe enough to express what is real, connection and healing begin to take shape.

My approach is grounded in Emotion Focused Therapy, and I bring in pieces of DBT, CBT, Narrative Therapy, IFS, and Person Centered work. I meet you where you are with warmth, curiosity, and honesty. I also hold space for faith, not as something required, but as a supportive resource if it matters to you. I believe God is present in the details, and I respect the way faith can steady and strengthen us in hard seasons.

Beginning in February 2026, I will also be accepting EMDR clients for those wanting deeper trauma work.

Whether you are navigating something heavy or simply wanting a place to grow and understand yourself more deeply, I would be grateful to walk alongside you. I will meet you exactly where you are.
