Consultation/Supervision for :

(1) EMDR Certified Therapist

(2) Michigan LMSW

(3) Professional growth 

Supervision/consultation may include the following aspects of clinical work:

•   Explore technical aspects of psychotherapy: conceptualize treatment plans, assess, diagnose, identify person-in-environment factors, review session-to-session treatment and interventions.  EMDR consultation includes conceptualizing cases, providing deeper understanding of all 8 phases of treatment and integrating EMDR into your practice.

    •  Identify person-of-the-therapist (countertransference)
       issues that may be affecting treatment. 

•   Support and encourage use of video and audiotapes of therapy sessions.  It is my personal experience, as well as that of clinicians I have supervised/consulted with, that more direct views of clinical work result in significant benefits for learning and professional growth.   

     Phone consultations available.
