Professional Consultation

I am currently offering clinical consultations to other licensed providers via video call. These are singular meetings where I offer feedback, knowledge and another perspective on a clinical matter that feels challenging, unclear or emotionally activating.

real talk:

As a therapist and counselor, it can be hard to admit when we're struggling and need help. 

Realizing we have our own biases and blind spots can be uncomfortable, frustrating and sometimes defeating. Even after admitting we need a fresh pair of eyes on the problem or issue at hand, the process of finding the right person, with all the right knowledge and experience to help, can be equally disheartening.

This struggle of knowing we need more support and information, but feeling unsure of where to find it is one of the reasons I want to offer my professional expertise and experience to other professionals through clinical consultation. If you're interested, read on for more information about the process.

At this time I provide 55-minute clinical consultations to other licensed providers via video call. These are singular meetings where I offer feedback, knowledge and another perspective on a clinical matter that feels challenging, unclear or emotionally activating.

In our consultation, I will ask you what you're struggling with, for some pertinent details in the case or issue you want to discuss, and I want to know what you would like to get out of our time together.

Having this information will help me to facilitate a more useful discussion and will guide my recommendations.

What does consultation with me look like?

I am open to providing consultations to unlicensed, masters-level clinicians, but only with expressed written consent from your supervisor(s). It is important that associates and students know that a consultation with me is not supervision and cannot be counted towards your supervision hours towards licensure.

After our call, I will reach out via email with any references, resources and recommendations we discussed.

You are also welcome to reach back out within four weeks following our consultation call with any further questions or follow-up concerns.

While helping you to reach your goal for our time together is my top priority, sometimes, in complex and serious cases, I may share with you concerns, potential limitations I foresee and I may recommend transferring your case to a professional with the appropriate education and training.

The Logistics

At this time, I schedule 55-minute professional consultations. My consulting fee is $230, payable by online invoice (due to social distancing) at the time of service.

You can reach out to my assistant, Sarah, to get on my schedule for a consultation or send an email with any questions or concerns you have. I look forward to supporting you in your professional growth!

Whatever your professional needs are, I'm happy to help!
