CONSULTATION FOR LICENSED THERAPISTS

You’re licensed and want to continue engaging in lifelong learning, unlearning, and relearning.

I offer consultation worldwide to licensed therapists.

I also offer supervision to associate clinicians in Washington State.

I’m really good at four things:

1. Helping therapists process and explore difficult and, challenging client cases that evoke strong counter transference/emotions/feelings/thoughts so they can do better client work and to protect themselves from burn out/compassion fatigue,

2. Helping therapists integrate and work more relationally, somatically, and experientially no matter their theoretical orientation/modality,

3. Helping therapists strengthen and refine their skills and conceptualization in trauma and dissociation,

4. Helping therapists be more active, direct, and empathically confrontational as a way to help clients change, growth, and transform from their defenses/protectors/anxieties/shame rather than letting them passively vent the whole session (when traditional therapy hasn’t helped).
