Clinical & Practice Consultations

Support for Therapists Feeling Stuck.

Being a therapist can be an isolating experience. We have to be attuned to both ourselves and our client’s needs, feel confident in our treatment approaches, and support our client’s growth. Being a therapist can be hard and messy, and can trigger our own stuff. Imposter syndrome can be a frustrating barrier in the way of your self-confidence or your decision to take the leap into private practice full-time.

Whether you are a therapist newbie or a clinical veteran, you might experience roadblocks with treatment, question your work in general, or looking for connection in a person-centered profession. You don’t have to go through these experiences alone.

As therapists, our education and growth never stop. Consultations can be a great space to explore issues pertaining to their current clinical work, professional development, career goals, and burnout in a safe, nonjudgmental space.

Consultations for Professional Growth & Support

In clinical consultation, I believe therapists should be supported based on their unique individual needs in order to receive targeted support.

Some areas of focus in consultations include:

  • Clinical case formulations

  • Treatment approaches & therapeutic interventions

  • Navigating transference and countertransference

  • Boundary-setting skills

  • Use of self as therapist

  • Managing compassion fatigue & burnout

  • Therapist self-exploration and growth

  • Ethical boundaries
