clinical Consultation

As an Approved Clinical Supervisor and AEDP experiential assistant, I have observed the profound loneliness therapists often experience while caring for their clients. In our role, we strive to alleviate the unbearable isolation that accompanies our clients' pain and suffering. This principle, a fundamental aspect of AEDP, holds true both in client interactions and during clinical consultations.

I offer online sessions to other therapists who are seeking support in private practice. The list below describes some of the issues we could explore together.

  • This work-related trauma exposure can occur from being alongside the story of a client’s victimization. Responses to vicarious trauma can be negative, neutral, or positive. And how we carry the stories inside can change over time. Knowing when we are experiencing vicarious trauma and how to help tend to ourselves better is critical to staying personally safe and professionally competent in our care for clients.

  • Exploring what it means to have a trauma informed practice and to work within this model of care.

  • It can feel overwhelming to start this work. How many clients should I see? What is my ideal client? How do I network for clients? How do I retain clients? Why does it feel so lonely? How do I keep a balance of work and private life?

  • Have you just started your AEDP training? I can offer insight into immersion and beginning to integrate the AEDP model into your practice. I have AEDP Level 3 and currently working on AEDP Certification.
