Consultation For Clinicians
Over the course of my career as a clinician, I’ve worked in the public health system as both an addictions counsellor and a psychologist before transitioning into private practice.
Building a private practice brought tremendous growth — along with challenges you can’t learn in graduate school. Navigating complex ethical situations, creating sustainable systems, and stepping into the role of both clinician and business owner required intention, resilience, and ongoing reflection.
Over time, I built a thriving, sustainable practice grounded in strong ethics and high-quality client care. I believe clinicians can build practices that are both ethically sound and financially sustainable — without burning out.
I offer consultation for therapists seeking thoughtful, practical support as they grow, refine, or navigate challenges in their work. Whether you’re facing a clinical dilemma, an ethical question, or a business decision, consultation provides focused time to gain clarity and move forward with confidence.
I bring professionalism, real-world experience, and a sense of humour to the process. There’s no judgment here — just steady support from someone who understands the realities of this work.
Consultation is available virtually or in person.
What Consultation Is (and Is Not)
Consultation is a collaborative, peer-based professional service. It is designed to support reflective thinking, ethical decision-making, and practice development.
Consultation is not clinical supervision, nor does it replace regulatory or workplace supervision requirements. Responsibility for client care and clinical decision-making remains with the treating clinician.
Who is this for?
This consultation service is for psychologists, social workers, Canadian Certified Counsellors, and other clinicians working in agency, community, public health, or private practice settings.
Whether you’re early in your career and looking to build confidence, or a seasoned clinician wanting thoughtful space to think through complex clinical, ethical, or practice-related decisions, consultation offers steady, practical support.
If you’re doing meaningful, nuanced work with people and value professionalism, growth, and sustainability, this space is for you.
What Consultation Can Look Like
Some clinicians come with a specific clinical or ethical question. Others want space to think strategically about their practice, refine systems, or navigate a professional transition. We may focus deeply on one issue or move through several interconnected concerns within a session.
Consultation may support you to:
- Think through a complex clinical case
- Clarify ethical decision-making
- Navigate insurance or third-party reporting
- Strengthen documentation practice
- Plan or refine a private practice
- Transition from public service to private work
- Build confidence in a specific area of clinical work
Sessions are collaborative, grounded in professional standards, and focused on practical application. You’ll leave with clearer direction, concrete next steps, and greater confidence in your decision-making.
Individual Consultation
Individual sessions provide dedicated, confidential space to think openly and strategically.
The 60-minute session is ideal for focused questions or case consultation.
The 90-minute Deep Dive allows for more comprehensive exploration — particularly helpful for business planning, ethical complexity, or multi-layered clinical concerns.
Individual consultation is well-suited for clinicians who:
- Want personalized feedback
- Are navigating sensitive or nuanced decisions
- Prefer one-to-one mentorship
- Are building or refining a private practice
Certificates of attendance are provided for continuing education reporting.
Small Group Consultation (3–6 Clinicians)
Group consultation offers thoughtful discussion within a confidential, collegial environment. Participants benefit not only from direct feedback, but also from hearing how peers approach similar challenges.
Groups may be structured around a theme (e.g., transitioning to private practice, addictions work, veterans, insurance reporting), or may function as open case and practice consultation.
The 3-session series allows for deeper continuity — supporting accountability, skill-building, and sustained reflection over time.
Group consultation is ideal for:
- Clinicians building sustainable private practices
- Clinicians launching practices together
- Ongoing professional development groups
Certificates of attendance are provided for continuing education submission.
