Clinical Consultation
Are you interested in taking your clinical aptitude to the next level and offer more presence to those you work with?
My consultation sessions with Dr. Renye not only enhanced my ability to support my client but also enriched my clinical practice overall. It underscored the importance of holistic care and interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing complex issues related to sexuality and mental health. I am truly grateful for the expertise and support, and I look forward to applying these newfound insights in my work with future clients.
-Dr.J., psychologist
Clinical Consultation is an astute way to continue growing as a clinician. As we know, our own shadow material or blind spots (and unexamined biases) may get in the way of being as present as we need to be with our patients and clients.
Clinical consultation can assist you in handling complex cases. There is no reason to hold complex cases on your own. It can cause burn out, quickly. Self care is essential for psychologists and therapists to be able to continue providing quality care to their patients and clients.

Clinical consultation can help you improve your ability to handle complex cases, manage personal biases, and prevent burnout, ultimately ensuring high-quality care for patients and clients?
Clinical Consultation can improve the experience for your patients
When a clinician gets support through clinician consultation or supervision, there is inevitable trickle down to the patients and clients you are working with. Consultation and supervision help clinicians gain the support they need, as well as an increase in self awareness, that helps them be more present in their clinical practice business.
What is the DIFFERENCE between 1:1 and group consultation practices?
Clinical consultation is offered one on one as well as in a group consultation structure or format. There are different benefits available through each mode of consultation.
Group consultation provides the consultee/supervisee the benefit from the insights of other clinicians in the group. The connections made through group consultation can provide rich opportunities in professional networking, referrals sources, and learning how others work in their practices.
However, some clinicians prefer one-on-one supervision/consultation (or a mix of both) as it allows the consultant to focus exclusively on one consultee/supervisee’s experiences, caseload, and practice. Both are viable options that benefit your practice, business, and most importantly, the quality of care you provide to those who seek therapy with you.
Consultation for relationship surrogacy
Having worked with relationship surrogates for the past 2 decades, I act as a consultant on cases involving a relationship surrogate. My role typically involves providing guidance, support, and expertise to both the surrogate and the primary therapist or clinician working directly with the client(s). I may may offer insights into relational dynamics, attachment patterns, communication strategies, and emotional regulation techniques relevant to the surrogate-client relationship. I assist in setting therapeutic goals, establishing boundaries, and ensuring ethical considerations are upheld throughout the surrogate's involvement. Additionally, I may help facilitate collaboration and communication between the surrogate and the primary therapist, ensuring that interventions align with the client's treatment plan and therapeutic objectives. Overall, my role as a consultant aims to optimize the effectiveness and ethical integrity of the therapeutic process involving a relationship surrogate.
