Support for the Supporter
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 and supervisor for provisionally-licensed
therapists in CT or MA, I invite providers and grad students to
bring your challenges, fears, and aspirations to the table so you
can find support in community. 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,
debating whether to panel with insurance, or struggling with being
a mental health advocate in a system that makes it SO HARD to
support marginalized communities, I've got you covered.
If you're interested in meeting with me for consultation,
supervision, or would like additional information on how I can
support your organization's mental health or diversity, equity,
and inclusion missions, email me at britt@rainbowtandc.com! I
offer free 15-minute consultation calls to ensure my skills fit
your goals!
