Interacting with supervisees in a way that promotes self-exploration, problem-solving skills, and confidence.

Being accountable to the employing organization, clients, and supervisees by promoting safe and effective clinical practice.
"Ask me about how I can support your individual or organizational needs for counselor supervision."
Consultation for Therapists, Organizations & Other Professionals in the Mental Health Field
There are four common types of mental health consultation, categorized based on two essential considerations: whether the focus is on client concerns or administrative issues, and whether the primary goal is to provide expertise or to enhance the consultee's problem-solving abilities.
“Ask me about how I can help you start a practice, support your therapists and teachers or help your organization thrive.”
Clinician-Focused Case Consultation
A consultation which focuses on the clinician's challenges in their practice. The main aim is to address the therapist's or counselor's application challenges that hinder effective care or case management, with client-based issues as a secondary objective.
Client-Focused Case Consultation
The most common type of consultation. In this approach, a teacher or therapist experiencing challenges might consult a mental health therapist. The therapist may assess the circumstance and offer resources and avenues for improvements in support of the student or client's needs, with direct education or skill development being a secondary concern.
Program-Centered Administrative Consultation
An approach which focuses on program-related issues that may need a fresh set of eyes and ears. Here, the consultant evaluates various aspects surrounding the development of a new program or other organizational functions. The consultant provides suggestions, innovations and other perspectives of the program development that may have not been addressed or need enrichment.
Clinical-Centered Administrative Consultation
A consultation which aims to enhance the professional functioning of staff members, gain their subjective insight or address an employer's barriers with staff functioning. The consultant takes on a broadly defined role, not limited to consultee-generated issues but also actively evaluating a wide range of organizational problems.
