Antonio Fidler-Woodard

Currently Not accepting couples... fully accepting you! I work exclusively with adults in individual therapy.

If you’ve been stuck in the endless therapist scroll, trying to figure out who actually feels safe, relatable, and honest enough to open up to... welcome!

I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Iowa with an emphasis in mental health. This background allows me to approach your concerns with a holistic and informed perspective.

Wondering why you feel overwhelmed all the time? Why it is hard to manage your emotions? Why you can't stop worrying about everything? Or why you get so frustrated over small things? Gladly here to talk about it. Many of the folks I work with are carrying anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, identity exploration, burnout, anger, shame, grief, or the pressure of always having to “hold it together.” Some feel disconnected from themselves. Others are tired of surviving and want to start living more intentionally.

I work best with clients who are open to reflection, ready for meaningful change, and willing to engage in the process at their own pace. If you’re looking for a therapist who feels authentic, conversational, and intentional in the work, we may be a good fit.

Additionally, I support first responders, LGBTQ+ and BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) clients, and student-athletes.

My style is conversational, collaborative, and grounded. I ask thoughtful questions, reflect patterns back to you, and create space for honesty without pressure or judgment. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I balance compassion with honesty. I will support you, challenge you when needed, and help you notice patterns that may no longer serve you without judgment or shame.

Therapy with me is not about “fixing” you or forcing toxic positivity. It is about increasing insight, understanding your emotional world more clearly, learning healthier ways to cope and communicate, and helping you move through life with greater self trust and intention.

We will move at a pace that feels productive while still respecting your readiness and capacity.

In our first session, we’ll explore what brought you to therapy, what feels heavy right now, and what you hope might become different through this process. Some clients come in with very clear goals. Others just know they’re exhausted, overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or tired of carrying things alone. Both are welcome.
