Consulting

It's not just you...

I love being a therapist, but I have to admit it; being a therapist is harder than it's ever been, especially if you're also a person with marginalized identities. Between juggling insurance companies that refuse to pay claims, sweeping federal policy changes that leave entire programs in limbo, and *gestures wildly at the state of the world,* it's an exhausting reality as a professional mental health provider- and somehow, we're supposed to balance that with all the usual obligations and responsibilities we have. Now more than ever, therapists need support so we can care for our communities.

I've worked in the mental health field for over 5 years in inpatient, residential, IOP, and outpatient levels of care, and have assisted in the founding of private practices across the state of Connecticut. Needless to say, I've learned some things along my journey that I'd love to share with you.

As a peer-consultant, I invite therapists and grad students to bring your challenges, fears, and aspirations to the table so we can shape a growing career to suit you. I offer space for you to ask your burning questions - either I have the answer, or we'll find it together. Whether you're looking for input on a complex case or debating whether to panel with insurance, I've got you covered.

Here are a few of the common topics that have people reaching out for consulting:

Client Services:

  • Reducing the harm of carceral systems in your mental health practice.
  • Navigating client intersectionality and systems with care.
  • Participating in existential, relational, and narrative therapy work for trauma.
  • Utilizing psychedelic-integrated, ketamine-assisted, and/or psychedelic harm-reduction therapies for trauma.
  • Feedback on letter writing for accommodations, gender-affirming care, and more.
  • Neuro- and queer-affirming your clinical approach.
  • Modifying trauma informed care approaches for telehealth.
  • Showing up authentically as the colorful therapist you are!

Being a Therapist:

  • Balancing the weight of the world while holding space.
  • Enhancing practice policies for community care and equity.
  • Transitioning to (or from) full telehealth operations in private practice.
  • Tailoring your PsychologyToday, TherapyDen, etc. to reach compatible clients.
  • Developing or overhauling client paperwork for compliance.
  • Conceptualizing and implementing sliding scale systems.
  • Switching from accepting insurance to out-of-network practice without the guilt.
  • Organizing logistics (billing, scheduling, CEUs, supervision, etc.)

Becoming a Therapist:

  • Exploring potential specialties that resonate with you.
  • Preparing for your first job interview and offer.
  • Weighing the costs and benefits of licensure, certifications, and memberships.
  • Marketing online and finding your first clients.
  • Finding a compatible supervisor.
  • Tracking supervision requirements.
  • Researching income and caseload expectations.

Education

As mental health providers, therapists' ability to provide up-to-date services are dependent on access to high-quality learning, research, and workshops. I provide a variety of on-demand and live continuing education opportunities for professionals looking to expand their knowledge.
