Professional Consultation Services

Clinical Consultation

Consultation services can be provided in-person or virtually. Individual consultation is personalized for the needs of each provider, but often focuses on addressing barriers to treatment for individual clients with a history of trauma. Individual consultation sessions are appropriate for clinicians looking for one-time feedback on work with a particular client, or on an ongoing basis to support growth and competency around clinical work with traumatized populations. Fees for individual consultation start at $200/hour. 

Forensic Consultation

There is a growing appreciation of the intersection of mental health (particularly psychological trauma) and multiple legal contexts. I provide consultation to attorneys and individuals on any number of issues related to mental health in litigation processes. Although this often occurs in the context of forensic evaluation or expert testimony, forensic consultation can also be helpful in earlier stages of the litigation process to better determine with psychological factors are material to any given case. Consultation can also include literature reviews, information on navigating mental health settings and contexts, or general information about a variety of different diagnoses, conditions, or experiences. Forensic consultation is offered at $250/hour or negotiated on a case-by-base basis. NOTE: I am not an attorney and forensic consultation should not be considered legal advice. 

Group Consultation

Group consultation offers a more affordable way to access high-quality, trauma-specific consultation services. Consultation groups occur monthly (unless otherwise negotiated in advance) for 4-8 clinicians over a two hour period. This offers opportunities for individual consultation questions to be addressed while also learning from the questions presented by others and the general conversations about trauma-focused clinical work. Groups of 4-8 clinicians may form their own private groups, or interested individuals may join ongoing open consultation groups. Group consultation rate is $75 per clinician for a two hour consultation. Click here to inquire about joining a consultation group. 

Institutional Consultation

Are you part of an institution that wants to improve its services to traumatized populations? Are you part of a local law enforcement agency that wants to learn to better manage psychiatric crises? Are you a healthcare organization that wants to train your employees to provide more trauma-informed care? Consultation agreements with individual businesses or organizations are available. Consultation contracts are negotiated in advance depending on the consultation question and institutional needs. 

Individualized Trainings

Individualized trainings and presentations can be arranged by half-day, full-day, or multi-day intervals. Training topics vary and can be personalized to the needs of your providers and staff. Some examples of possible training/presentation topics include: 

-Moving beyond "trauma-informed" care to "dignity-based" care

-Screening for and diagnosing trauma-related and dissociative conditions

-Relational traumas and betrayal traumas

-Social determinants of health

-Understanding the dissociative continuum

-Comparative "parts work" theories

-Attachment, attunement,  and the therapeutic relationship 

Fees for trainings are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.
