Clinician Consultation

For licensed and pre-licensed clinicians, including trainees and students, who seek an insightful, tailored, and expert perspective to enhance their clinical practice.

Gain a confidential perspective from a clinical psychologist with a professional background in supervision, continuing education, academic instruction, and leadership in high-acuity settings.

 

These sessions are ideal for:

​

  • Case Conceptualization and Treatment Planning: Second-and-third-wave cognitive-behavioral approaches, as well as psychoanalytic and psychodynamically-informed treatment

​

  • Addressing Complexity: Working with trauma and (C-)PTSD, specialized intervention for dissociative conditions, identifying and intervening upon attachment-related concerns, diagnosing and facilitating progress in characterologically-centered casework, fostering identity development, addressing comorbidities simultaneously, and more

​

  • Diagnosing Personality Structure: Identification of defense mechanisms, level of self-cohesion, and patterns of mental status restoration and deterioration within a tailored conceptual framework

​​​

  • Navigating Early Career Uncertainties: Refining therapeutic voice, increasing directness while retaining therapeutic warmth and rapport, navigating ethical dilemmas, mitigating burnout, and building confidence in clinical decision-making, and improving private practice procedures (e.g., documentation, marketing, protocols) 

​

  • Private Practice Support: Improving private practice procedures, including documentation, marketing and securing a full caseload, business protocols, schedule and time management, and software solutions (AI, EMR, bookkeeping, payroll)


A phone screening (<20 minutes) is available at no cost to determine if consultation is right for you.

​​

Subsequent meetings are charged at a rate of $150.00 for 50-to-55 minutes. If you have barriers to meeting this fee, please outreach to discuss options that may better meet your needs. Paid consultation service fees may reduce your taxable income depending on your circumstances, such as in the case of owning a PLLC, though please always consult with a CPA for tax and accounting advice.
