For Therapists

As clinicians, we are invited into stories of pain, resilience, survival, and transformation every day. To do this work well—and sustainably—we need spaces where we can continue learning, deepen our clinical skills, and remain connected to a community of thoughtful practitioners.

Learning trauma therapy is about more than mastering interventions. It requires developing the capacity to sit with complexity, trust your clinical intuition, understand the nervous system, navigate therapeutic relationships, and remain grounded in yourself while supporting others.

Whether you are a pre-licensed clinician, early-career therapist, or seasoned practitioner, this bi-monthly consultation group offers a supportive learning community for clinicians who want to deepen their trauma work through relational, somatic, attachment-focused, and decolonizing approaches.

Who This Group Is For

This group is ideal for:

• Pre-licensed clinicians
• Early-career licensed therapists
• Clinicians seeking to build expertise in trauma-focused work
• Experienced therapists looking for consultation, community, and support around complex cases

What We Will Explore

Participants will have opportunities to:

• Develop trauma-informed case conceptualizations
• Deepen their understanding of attachment and developmental trauma
• Work more effectively with dissociation and nervous system dysregulation
• Integrate somatic and body-based interventions into clinical practice
• Apply parts-work concepts with greater confidence
• Strengthen therapeutic relationships and navigate ruptures and repair
• Practice through anti-oppressive and decolonizing frameworks
• Build sustainable approaches to trauma-focused work

Group Structure

Each meeting may include:

• Case consultation
• Clinical skill-building
• Discussion of trauma theory and its application
• Reflection and self-of-the-therapist work
• Community support and connection

The small-group format allows participants to receive meaningful feedback while building relationships with fellow clinicians who share a commitment to trauma-informed practice.

My Approach to Consultation

My consultation style is collaborative, relational, and deeply rooted in trauma-focused care.

I believe consultation should be a space where clinicians feel supported enough to take risks, ask questions, make mistakes, and grow. Together, we explore not only what is happening with clients, but also what is happening within us as therapists. After all, our presence is one of the most important tools we bring into the therapy room.

My work is informed by:

• Attachment Theory
• Interpersonal Neurobiology
• Brainspotting
• IFS-Informed Parts Work
• Somatic and Nervous System Approaches
• Feminist and Liberation Psychology
• Decolonizing Clinical Practice

Since 2020, I have facilitated trauma-focused consultation and supervision groups in a variety of settings, supporting both pre-licensed and licensed clinicians in developing confidence and competence in trauma treatment. In addition to my clinical work, I have been teaching graduate-level counseling courses at CIIS since 2024 and most recently developed and taught a course focused specifically on trauma.

At the heart of all of my work is a deep passion for trauma healing and a commitment to remaining a lifelong learner in this ever-evolving field.

Interested in Joining?

This group is designed to be flexible and accessible. Participants are not required to commit to a specific number of sessions. Each consultation group stands on its own, allowing clinicians to attend based on their availability and professional needs.

While themes and topics may build across meetings, each session offers valuable opportunities for learning, consultation, and connection.

Registration is offered on a first-come, first-served basis and is capped at eight participants per session.
