consultation services in Memphis, TN and online in psypact*states
Connect with your most confident part of your clinical self to engage authentically with your clients
Are you seeking to deepen your clinical skills, enhance your therapeutic interventions, or navigate complex cases more effectively? Clinical case consultation offers a valuable opportunity for therapists to receive expert guidance and support with challenging cases in a confidential and non-judgmental space, either online or in-person.
It doesn’t matter whether you are an early career mental health clinician or a seasoned therapist, we all experience tough clinical cases. The cases that keep us ruminating about how we can help them get unstuck. Helping therapists conceptualize, strategize and generate clinical options is my passion.
Am I the right consultant for you?
I will help you:
Collaborate to set an agenda for you to get what you want and need out of our sessions.
Clarify what your clients want out of therapy.
Strengthen your “here and now” observation skills so that you can respond to your clients with clarity and confidence.
See beyond your client’s story to the underlying defense mechanisms and coping strategies that helped them survive hardship and trauma.
Explore any transference with your client, and help them gain clarity and motivation to address the unhelpful patterns that show up with you and others in their lives.
Strengthen the therapeutic alliance by helping your clients see and turn against self-sabotaging behaviors.
Gain confidence to remain present with your client’s feelings, needs, and their emotional truth so that they can move forward in their lives and relationships.
Understand and move through the stuck places within yourself that arise with your clients.

No. A clinical supervisor has ultimate responsibility and legal liability for the overall care of the supervisee’s clients. The case consultant, however, offers expertise in a particular area and is an excellent resource for cases and situations where the provider feels stuck or just needs a different perspective or second opinion on the direction of treatment.
