CONSULTATION

Clinicians

Clinicians receive consultation and guidance on managing difficult cases. For clinicians who have cases that have become difficult to make a differential diagnosis, have entered into an area of treatment that is not their specialty or area of expertise, and/or decision making about referring for psychological testing and assessment.  Typical assistance that can be provided involves coordinating a treatment team of multiple clinicians (e.g., psychiatrists, school psychologists or social workers, career coaches, medical practitioners).

Additional consultation assistance can include discussing private practice building strategies. Clinicians frequently ask for input and guidance on:

• the creation of a practice website,
• blogging,
• determining an area of specialty,
• identifying an ideal client to treat,
• improving marketing and advertising for the practice,
• networking assistance,
• figuring out multiple streams of income,
• and finding an appropriate mentor to benefit their career long-term.

New Clients

New clients who are not yet ready to start a long-term therapy relationship can request consultation to meet for 1-5 sessions to diagnose current mental health difficulties, receive input on whether their presenting concerns might benefit from a therapy modality (e.g., individual, group, family, couples), and create a potential road map for treatment.
