Working in private practice — or in an organizational setting that does not provide adequate support or supervision — can be isolating. Clinical consultation enhances the quality of the work we do with clients by providing a new lens through which to view clients’ struggles, understand our own reactions to the work, and determine the most effective interventions to promote positive change.
Clinical Consultation
For new and experienced therapists, consultation provides support in decoding the most complex cases and creating an effective path forward. We will focus on trauma-sensitive, comprehensive case conceptualization in order to get to the root of the places where clients struggle, and you will learn strategies for deepening the work, promoting client engagement, and ways to understand blocks in therapy as they naturally arise. I integrate EMDR Therapy, IFS, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy with a humanistic, relational framework and welcome additional lenses for understanding.
Vicarious Trauma Consultation
The secondary impact of trauma on helpers whose work involves caring for abused, neglected, angry, and grieving people has long-term devastating effects if left unaddressed. Therapists may become numb or overemotional, self-doubting and self-critical, afraid for the safety of their loved ones, and troubled by physical symptoms such as sleeplessness, fatigue, headaches, and anxiety. Focusing on self-care, cultivating meaning, and setting healthy boundaries, I partner with clinicians to create a plan for greater resiliency.
Vicarious Trauma Consultation for Organizations
Organizations impacted by vicarious trauma often report low morale, staff conflicts, high absenteeism, employee turnover, and a decrease in overall program effectiveness. I work collaboratively with organization leaders to create meaningful educational programming and comprehensive intervention plans.
