Consultation
CONSULTATION TO LICENSED AND PRE-LICENSED CLINICIANS
Now more than ever, therapists are being asked to carry a lot.
This work we love to do is often hard and messy. Therapists are carrying a lot. (Hi, did you sign up to be a therapist in a world where everyone has a constant drip feed of doom in their pocket, aka a smartphone? And oh yeah, climate chaos?)
It's too easy to sit in the isolation of our clinical rooms, feeling totally alone.
Or go to a training/listen to a podcast/read a book and feel really solid about some concept.... only to take it into your actual practice and realize that the CE didn't account for your situation.
Consultation is a necessary place for us all to look critically at our work and ourselves, and to drop the mask of “having it all together” that the world seems to expect of therapists.
Some areas I especially love helping people figure out:
identifying, setting, and (the key!) maintaining boundaries in professional life
adapting a neurodivergent-affirming frame to your work that goes beyond just validation (you can also take my CE class on this!)
working with chronically suicidal clients: knowing your limits and also pushing them a bit
working with clinically complex, multi-diagnostic clients
navigating self disclosure as a clinician
My rates are $150/hour for clinical consultation. If you are a pre-licensed clinician or working in community mental health settings, I offer a sliding scale (because you are wildly underpaid for all you're being asked to hold). Please note, I do not offer clinical supervision toward your licensing hours.
