consulting and speaking
Attention professors, school administrators, public and medical service providers!
Interprofessional collaboration is becoming increasingly important as we tackle aiding the public with their mental and medical health. Our pandemic brought what many believe was an unprecedented consequence. Until then, mental health was not nearly as discussed or considered when treating individuals.
As a graduate of a Community Psychology program and Doctoral student for Health Sciences in Healthcare Leadership, a direct service provider for community mental health programs, and subsequent Supervisor of community mental health services, my faceted experience has made it painstakingly apparent that as professionals, we must work together to provide our community with quality care.
Why Collaborate?
Why Collaborate?
Collaboration should be a key factor when treating individuals. It allows us to see the bigger picture of what is causing the presenting problem. For years doctors were the go-to for disorders, both mental and physical. Now that we have different disciplines in the health service field, why not join those again?
Allow space for professionals to offer consultation, opinions, and support as we tackle the aftermath of a health crisis that impacted us on a global scale. As a trauma therapist, I have been taught to conceptualize multifaceted treatment, a biopsychosocial approach that allows me to understand the why, when, and how of a person’s constitution.
Services provided
-
A 1:1 virtual or in-person meeting to discuss presenting problems that may indicate a presence of mental health difficulty not otherwise managed by a medical approach.
This service would also benefit counselors wanting to enhance their skills to treat patients effectively and ethically.
-
For associate counselors looking for additional support outside of provided agency supervision.
Monthly supervision is great; however, how much can you genuinely discuss in an hour that mainly focuses on your notes, administrative tasks, and productivity?
In my experience as both therapist and supervisor, supervision can leave a counselor still unsure about which direction to take with a client, leading to crippling imposter syndrome and burnout. Interested in talking about your experience as a counselor and wanting to know how to find your therapist identity? Contact me, and don’t keep feeling unsure of yourself, you came into this field for a reason, and I want to support you.

Looking for someone to teach your class or employees about the importance of a trauma-informed approach? I agree, it’s essential. We didn’t survive a global pandemic without some scarring. Having a trauma-informed approach to care allows us to move past a solely intervention-based approach toward relational-based care.
In a world of chaos, people want to be understood and need to feel that the persons “in charge” of caring for them care about them. Trauma-informed approaches benefit budding therapists for the world of mental health practice in our present day, but they also benefit medical professionals who are often the first line of referrals to us therapists.
