Consultation for clinicians

Technically sound, and still relationally stuck?

Trauma-informed consultation for mid-career therapists and high-competence clinicians who want to be more human in the room — without becoming uncontained.

Who this is for

This is for the clinicians doing everything “right” — following best practices, staying organized, maintaining ethical boundaries — and yet still noticing something in the room feels unresolved, stuck, or quietly tense.

If your countertransference is loud but you're unsure how to use it ethically, or if you want to be more human without becoming uncontained, consultation offers a safe, non-evaluative space to explore these questions.

What we focus on

  • Using countertransference and emotional responses as clinical data to deepen therapeutic impact
  • Navigating relational ruptures and complex dynamics in session
  • Thinking through case conceptualization, treatment planning, and ethical questions
  • Strengthening your presence, attunement, and the relational depth of your work
  • Supporting your own sustainability, self-care, and professional growth

How I consult

My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and grounded in real-world practice. We'll prioritize curiosity, reflection, and practical strategies that let you hold yourself and your clients with clarity, confidence, and compassion — even in the most activating or emotionally charged moments.

Good questions

Things people often wonder

How is consultation different from supervision?

Consultation is a non-evaluative space for licensed and mid-career clinicians — no hours to log, no one grading you. If you're an associate working toward licensure, supervision is probably the better fit.

My countertransference is loud. Is that a bad sign?

Honestly? It's information. Here we move beyond just managing your internal responses to intentionally using them as a catalyst for powerful work to unfold with your clients — ethically, and with care for you too.

Can you provide documentation for my agency?

Yes. I'm happy to coordinate with outside agencies or provide documentation as needed.
