Group Consultation

Learning in community with others fosters professional growth, reduces isolation, and deepens reflective practice

Group consultation offers a space for shared insight, honest reflection, and collective problem-solving. Whether you're craving connection, navigating professional isolation, or seeking deeper alignment between your values and your practice, you're not alone — and you don’t have to do this work alone.

Why Group Consultation?

Group consultation offers something uniquely powerful: space to show up as your full self among clinicians who share your passions, challenges, and commitments. These groups are intentionally designed to bring people together around shared clinician identities, clinical modalities, or client populations — creating an environment where conversations can go deeper, faster.

​

You’ll find connection, clarity, and the kind of professional growth that comes from being truly seen and understood.

​

What to Expect:

  • Small Cohorts: Most groups include 5–10 participants to ensure space for everyone’s voice and a depth of conversation that’s hard to find in larger settings.

  • No Performances Required: These groups are intentionally vulnerable, but never prescriptive. You don’t need to come in polished or prepared — just open to showing up honestly. We make space to be real about the messy, meaningful, and uncertain parts of our work.

  • Facilitated, Responsive Conversations: You won’t be asked to present a formal case. I guide each group conversation in a grounded, responsive way — inviting reflection on clinical work, personal identity, supervision experiences, and how our modalities support (or sometimes conflict with) what we’re trying to do.

  • Online: Groups are fully virtual. Depending on the group’s goals, they may be drop-in or run as consistent cohorts—this will always be clearly outlined before you commit.

​

Group Formats: Open vs. Closed

I offer both open and closed group formats:​

  • Closed Groups are structured cohorts that meet regularly for a set number of sessions. Participants commit to attending all sessions, and no new participants are added once the group begins. This format supports deeper connection, consistency, and trust over time.

  • Open Groups are more flexible and often ongoing. Participants can attend as they’re able, and new participants may join at any point. These groups are ideal for clinicians who prefer lower-commitment support or are navigating unpredictable schedules.

You'll always know in advance whether a group is open or closed — that information will be clearly outlined before you decide to join.

​

How Groups Are Formed

Group consultation works best when participants share some common ground. I organize groups based on themes like:​

  • Clinician Identity: I have a strong commitment to supporting queer, trans, and neurodivergent clinicians. These groups focus on how lived experience and identity shape our clinical work, professional sustainability, and wellness.

  • Service Types & Modalities: Drawing on my background in trauma work and systems-informed care, these groups may explore how clinicians incorporate play-based, body-based, or neurodivergent-affirming approaches in ways that feel responsive, sustainable, and aligned with their practice.

  • Client Populations: I support clinicians working with trans and nonbinary youth, neurodivergent clients, families involved with DCF, incarcerated individuals, and others navigating systemic oppression and marginalization.

If a group topic resonates with you, feel free to reach out. I keep a running interest list and reach out when a relevant group is forming. Expressing interest is never a commitment — you’ll always get full details and the option to opt in when the time is right.

Current Groups

Groups will start when enough people express interest. 

Logistics & Pricing

  • Closed Groups typically run for 8-12 sessions and meet every week for 60 minutes.

  • Open Groups are drop-in by design and typically meet monthly for 90 minutes.

  • Pricing varies by group type and duration. Most closed groups range from $400–$600 total, and open groups are usually $75 per session.

Scholarship spots are available for clinicians with established financial need who are from underrepresented communities and serving marginalized populations.

​Workplace-Based Group Consultation

Even in teams made up of diverse perspectives and strengths, many workplace challenges are shared — from burnout and disconnection to unclear alignment around clinical goals. While external consultation can offer fresh insight, there's something uniquely valuable about creating space for reflection among clinicians who work side by side every day.


I offer workplace-based group consultation for mental health staff, designed to foster connection, reduce burnout, and strengthen clinical insight. These sessions provide a structured space to reflect on practice, build shared language, and align around the values that guide your work. Depending on your team’s needs, consultations can focus on particular client populations, treatment modalities, or shared clinician identities.


Group consultation is especially impactful in high-demand environments where time for collaboration is limited. It offers room to process clinical stuck points, reduce isolation, and promote a culture of mutual support and ethical, trauma-informed care. As a facilitator, I bring warmth, structure, and curiosity — helping teams move from reaction to reflection, from overwhelm to intention. It’s a meaningful investment in your team’s sustainability and the quality of care your organization provides.

 

Pricing

Rates for workplace-based group consultation vary based on a number of factors, including group size, session length, clinical acuity, and the level of administrative coordination required outside of consultation meetings. Additional considerations include whether the sessions are virtual or in-person, as well as any travel time for on-site facilitation.
