Professional Consultation, Supervision and Trainings
Interactions with clients stir up feelings, impulses and thoughts.
Describing these dynamics in a professional relationship helps make conscious choices about how to use that information in a therapeutically effective way.
I offer consultation for anyone anywhere and supervision for those seeking an LPC in Colorado,
Both individually and/or in groups.
“Speech affects the mind and through the mind’s physical structure - the nervous system - the chemistry of the body. It would probably take hundred’s of years to compound the exquisitely precise chemicals which each patient needs to get well. But his body has its own chemical laboratory; and the psychotherapist, through his words and attitudes, tries to stimulate it to produce those chemicals. The personality can be employed in an infinite number of ways to create different psychological effects and control the dosages for each patient and situations. To advance the science and art of producing psychological stimuli is the concern of the research minded practitioner.”
Hyman Spotnitz (1961), Father of Modern Psychoanalysis
Get a sense of what I offer
Individual Consultation/ supervision
No matter what modality is used research shows that the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is what matters most.
My approach to supporting mental health professionals is rooted in psycho-dynamic modalities, interpersonal communication and group dynamics.
I offer strategies for developing strong interpersonal relationships with clients that promote self-awareness, progressive communication and model healthy boundaries.
When the interpersonal dynamics between client and therapist are recognized, respected and harnessed, therapy becomes a collaborative experience.
And that empowers clients to cultivate those same dynamics in the relationships they have with others, including the relationship that they have with themselves.
I also offer over 30 years of experience in group therapy and have helped other professionals and organizations design and facilitate psycho-educational, process and training groups.
I am a Certified Group Psychotherapist, supervision with me counts towards getting certified for group psychotherapy through the American Group Psychotherapy Association.
Group Dynamics CONSULTATION Group
Meets every other Wednesday 1:30-3pm Mountain Time $75 a group
This group combines case consultation with group dynamics. When a case is presented to a group of professionals there is an opportunity to explore a variety of reactions. Overtime this evolves into a free-associative process that vastly expands how we view the clients, couples and groups that we encounter while learning about group process at the same time. If your case load includes groups or you are interest in starting a group or just interested in group dynamics this group includes it all.
