At Cerebral Psychology, Lecter, the resident pet fish, adds a unique touch to the waiting room experience. A striking 4-year-old flowerhorn, Lecter is known for his bright colors and distinct appearance, easily catching the eye of anyone who steps into the space. His tank is prominently positioned, giving him the perfect vantage point to observe all the activity, making him a subtle yet watchful presence as clients prepare for their sessions.
Despite his serene and captivating exterior, Lecter has a bit of a mischievous streak. He’s earned a reputation for being a little handsy—or perhaps more accurately, mouthy. His tendency to nip at fingers poked into the tank is well known, especially among those brave enough to try. It’s his way of interacting, perhaps reminding everyone that even in the world of psychology, not everything is as passive as it seems.
Many clients have commented on how Lecter seems to follow them with his gaze as they sit waiting. His watchful eyes, curious and unblinking, add an unexpected layer of comfort, as if he's silently participating in the therapeutic environment. It’s as though he’s become part of the process, quietly welcoming everyone and making them feel at ease before their sessions begin.
Ultimately, Lecter is much more than just a fish in a tank; he’s a beloved member of the Cerebral Psychology team. His playful personality and silent companionship offer clients a lighthearted distraction before their sessions, and despite his occasional nibbles, he’s affectionately referred to as a “good boy” by everyone who works and visits there.
