Finding the right consultation group can be surprisingly difficult.

Many groups come together out of convenience rather than fit. Sometimes they are too unstructured to feel useful. Sometimes they are so rigid or didactic that there is no room for real thinking. And often, even when the clinicians in the room are talented, the group itself never quite comes alive.

I offer thoughtfully matched consultation groups for therapists who are looking for a space that feels engaged, grounded, and relationally alive.

These are small groups composed with care, with attention not only to clinical interests and theoretical orientation, but also to personality, pace, and the kind of engagement that helps a group feel meaningful over time.

A clinical community that fits

Good consultation is not just about having smart people in the room. It is also about fit.

Some therapists want a space that is warm, expiloratory, and reflective. Others want more direct challenge and sharper edges. Some are looking for a strong grounding in psychodynamic or relational thinking. Others want a wider range of perspectives but still want the group to feel coherent.

When I form consultation groups, I think carefully about:

• theoretical orientation

• clinical interests and populations

• stage of professional development

• relational style

• logistical needs and availability

• what helps a group feel alive for you and what tends to make it fall flat

The aim is to place you in a group where you can bring your work as it actually is, not as a polished performance.k

These groups may be a good fit for therapists who:

• want ongoing consultation but have not found the right group

• are craving more depth, thoughtfulness, and real engagement

• want a space where they can think openly rather than perform competence

• are looking for colleagues whose way of working feels compatible

• value relational and process-oriented thinking

• feel lonely or underheld in private practice

Supervision Groups for pre-licensed therapists

How it works

1. Initial inquiry

You reach out and share a bit about your practice, your availability, and what you are hoping for in a group.

2. Intake and matching

I gather more information about your clinical interests, theoretical orientation, relational style, and logistical preferences. I use that information to thoughtfully compose small groups that feel coherent and alive.

3. Group formation

Once a group is assembled, I help establish the initial structure and frame. Depending on the format, I may facilitate the first meeting or meetings to help set tone, expectations, and rhythm.

4. Ongoing consultation

Groups meet on an ongoing basis and are intended to offer a steady space for clinical thinking, support, challenge, and community.

My approach

As a therapist, supervisor, and group practice owner, I have spent many years thinking about what helps people work well together. I am interested not only in clinical skill, but in the less visible qualities that make a room feel usable: psychological mindedness, generosity, curiosity, flexibility, honesty, and the capacity to think alongside others.

My aim is not simply to place therapists into groups. It is to create consultation spaces where people feel engaged enough to return, and safe enough to be real.

A note on fit

These groups are composed with care, but no match can be perfect. My hope is to create consultation spaces with enough alignment to feel easeful and enough difference to keep the thinking alive.

Interested?

If you are interested in joining a consultation group, feel free to reach out. You can share a little about your practice, your orientation, and what you are looking for, and I will let you know if I think there may be a good fit.
