Proffesional Consultation, Supervision and Trainings
Interactions with clients stir up feelings, impulses and thoughts. Describing these dynamics in a professional relationship helps make conscious choices about how to use that information in a therapeutically effective way.
I offer consultation for anyone anywhere and supervision for those seeking an LPC in Colorado,
Both individually and/or in groups.
“Speech affects the mind and through the mind’s physical structure - the nervous system - the chemistry of the body. It would probably take hundred’s of years to compound the exquisitely precise chemicals which each patient needs to get well. But his body has its own chemical laboratory; and the psychotherapist, through his words and attitudes, tries to stimulate it to produce those chemicals. The personality can be employed in an infinite number of ways to create different psychological effects and control the dosages for each patient and situations. To advance the science and art of producing psychological stimuli is the concern of the research minded practitioner.”- Hyman Spotnitz (1961), Father of Modern Psychoanalysis
No matter what modality is used research shows that the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist is what matters most. My approach to supporting mental health professionals is rooted in psycho-dynamic modalities and group dynamics. I offer strategies for developing strong interpersonal relationships with clients that promote self-awareness, progressive communication and model healthy boundaries. When these aspects of the relationship between client and therapist are recognized, addressed and respected, therapy becomes a collaborative experience and empowers clients to cultivate those qualities in the relationships they have with others, including the relationship that they have with themselves.
