Consulting and Training for Mental Health Professionals and Residential Treatment Facilities

I provide tailored consulting and training services for individual practitioners, group practices, and residential treatment centers. My approach is centered on designing custom solutions to address the unique needs and challenges faced by therapists and organizations. Whether refining existing practices, developing new protocols, or enhancing team dynamics, I can help you create a supportive, trauma-sensitive environment that leads to better outcomes for clients and staff.

  • Empower clinicians to incorporate somatic, experiential, and “in action” techniques into their practice. These approaches go beyond traditional talk therapy, offering clients a deeper, more embodied healing process. By integrating methods like movement, role-playing, and creative expression, clinicians can engage clients in ways that foster lasting transformation.

  • Provide clinicians with dynamic case consultations that offer a unique, reflective experience. This approach mirrors real-world dynamics and helps practitioners gain insight into their cases through a lived, parallel process. By exploring case challenges in a safe and collaborative environment, clinicians build confidence and develop innovative strategies to support their clients.

  • Deliver expertise in trauma-informed care, from foundational understanding to practical application. Learn how to recognize the subtle and overt ways trauma manifests, both internally within clients and externally in behavior. Equip your team to create safer, more empathetic environments that support healing and resilience, ensuring a strong foundation for trauma-focused work.

  • Guide clinicians and teams through the three phases of trauma treatment: safety, resourcing and stabilization, processing of defenses, trauma, and emotions, and integration and future. These methods create a balanced and effective treatment process, ensuring progress at every stage. This also strongly focuses on the need for positive resourcing and learning various ideas and concepts to strengthen that resiliency at the outset of treatment.

  • Offer specialized knowledge and actionable strategies for managing personality disorders and complex trauma symptoms. Through practical guidance, help clinicians navigate challenging cases with confidence, enhancing their ability to support clients with unique and layered needs.

  • Foster strong, collaborative relationships among team members to enhance communication, reduce burnout, and improve treatment outcomes. Using innovative methods to build trust and solidarity, this approach strengthens the team dynamic, creating a healthier work environment and a more effective treatment culture.

  • Develop and deliver consulting and training programs that address the specific needs and deficits of residential treatment centers. By identifying gaps in clinical approaches and operational processes, these customized solutions improve the quality of care, empower staff, and elevate your facility’s overall effectiveness.
