For the
“What the Hell Am I Doing?”
Phase
Consultation services for finding your therapist vibe and clinical style, navigating private practice, LGBTQ+ issues, OCD, & more!
*You DON’T have to be in New York to consult with me! :)
Feeling like you barely learned how to be a therapist & were basically thrown to the sharks?
…Yup, been there.
Consulting with me is the support & inside scoop you should’ve gotten from day one : honest, real, a little unhinged in the best way, & grounded in actual experience (and not the tons of random theories grad school made us memorize).
There’s so much about this field I wish people had prepared me for before I graduated. I started my first private practice job feeling clueless. I’ve learned a ton since (I even used to host a podcast about this LOL), & I’m passionate about sharing the lessons I’ve learned with as many people as I can!
*You DON’T have to be in New York to consult with me! :)
Who This Is For
Consulting is open to all clinicians!
but I have a soft spot for:
Grad students & recent grads trying to understand the actual day-to-day of being a therapist
Clinicians figuring out their therapy style & niche
LGBTQ+ therapists navigating identity, boundaries, & all the nuance that comes with being a queer clinician
Therapists navigating working at a private / group practice for the first time & wondering what’s “normal”
Allies: Cis & straight clinicians who want to ask LGBTQ+ related questions without fear of “messing up”
OCD case consults and the “not so typical
ways OCD presents.
What We Can Talk About
*
What We Can Talk About *
-
How to advertise yourself in a way that feels like you
Who you’re drawn to working with (and why)
Is a professional social media account for you?
What you bring to the room (skills, personality, lived experience) and how to own that
How to make the cool, fun, & quirky traits you have as a therapist shine even though it would have sent Freud into a coma back in the day
-
Any and all questions from non-queer therapists who work with queer clients (there are no bad questions!)
Navigating the nuances of being a queer clinician
(like what to do if you see your client at the gay bar…), boundaries, self-disclosure, safety, & cultural competence
Making your workplace, paperwork, website, & environment more inclusive
Writing letters of support for gender affirming care & surgery
How to protect queer & trans clients in clinical documentation
-
What working at a private / group practice actually looks like - pace, culture, policies, boundaries
Understanding pay structures, red flags, and workplace expectations
How to create a schedule that works for your life (and doesn’t have you dissociating between sessions)
What’s normal vs. what’s you being overworked or undervalued
Starting your own private practice (not business coaching)
-
Case consults for OCD, especially taboo/intrusive thought themes (Pure O)
ERP & ACT approaches to OCD treatment
EMDR questions, support, and real-talk about what works for clients
*I am NOT an EMDR certified consultant. But I am EMDR trained & here to offer my experience-based support.
-
When you need to pick another therapist’s brain on something
When you’re doubting yourself
When a case feels tangled and you want clarity
My Style
Supervisees have often told me they really vibed with my style - how fun & real I keep things, how I talk honestly about the messy parts of this field, & how I share the info other supervisors often gatekeep.
My Experience
-
Clinical Supervising:
I’m currently the clinical supervisor for the therapists on my staff! :)
Peer Supervising:
I have experience as an EMDR peer supervisor, providing guidance to other clinicians on my team who were newly trained in the modality & building their skills.
Intern Supervising:
I supervised clinical interns for several years at a private practice, guiding them from their first client session ever, to processing termination, & everything in between.
Together, we explored what styles & modalities felt best for them, what kind of clients they liked working with, job searching for post-graduation, & more!
-
I’ve conducted trainings & workshops to teams of therapists, medical professionals, & support staff on:
LGBTQ+ 101, affirming practices, & practical skills to make your workplace more inclusive
Protecting LGBTQ+ clients in clinical documentation
Treatment of OCD & the “untraditional” ways it can show up
