A Holistic Process of Clinical Consultation

Empowering mental health professionals with human-centered clinical consultation designed to improve client outcomes and support sustained professional growth.

Michelle offers individual and group clinical consultation for licensed therapists and advanced trainees seeking to deepen their therapeutic skill and confidence. Depending on your goals, sessions may include videotape review, verbal case presentation, role play, skill building, and/or mentorship.

Some clinicians come for help with:

  • a particular case or stuck point

  • refining their clinical thinking

  • improving moment-to-moment attunement

  • integrating a specific treatment model

Together, you will tailor the consultation to support your growth and the needs of your practice.
