Consultation
what consultation with me can be:
Direction…If you’re a DIY person who wants to learn embodiment tools, this may be for you!
Educating…specifically on neurodivergent topics, high-sensitivity, contemplative view, meditation practices, grief, & Alzheimer's-type dementia.
Advice…If you are an HSP needing support in your work life or a non-HSP professional, parent, partner of an HSP needing advice & education.
A soft beginning…Perhaps you feel more comfortable beginning with learning to see if a fuller commitment to therapy or assessment is for you.
Contemplative arts…I consult on somatic movement integration, meditation & mindfulness techniques. See Below.
A relaxed way to begin working together…
what consultation is not…
It is not Psychotherapy
It is not Counseling
It is not diagnosing
It is not an available option for those in emotional or psychological crisis
It is not addiction counseling
It is not supervision for Counselors
It is not coaching
Consultation is not for those who need more robust support or offered as supervision for pre-licensed counselors, therapy, etc.
Consultation is also not a “drop in” service…
Once we establish your needs, I like folks to schedule 4 weeks in a row for somatic work or once/month for other types of consultations. Just like therapy, rhythm creates deepening & change.
Please note that after your initial session, 60 minutes is minimum & 75 minutes is preferred for consultations.
mindfulness practice consultation, curated to your needs
I help clients structure mindfulness, movement & meditation practices as well as support with references for reading materials & teachings to support individual taste & needs. Trauma-informed practice approaches are prioritized.
OPTIONS INCLUDE:
practicing together in-session
posture & form instruction for meditation
guided practices (recorded or in-session)
exploration of contemplative or spiritual topics
assistance in finding practices online, books & other resources
support with new views that may contradict how you’ve been raised & are easily misinterpreted
assistance finding respected teachers or groups
consultation in- person in Columbia, MO & online anywhere
It’s my pleasure to offer consultation to clients anywhere, online via video sessions.
let’s work together
If you would like to schedule a consultation, feel free to schedule through the self-scheduler for a 50 minute reduced rate session. I will send you a small amount of electronic paperwork, but you will not need to do my full psychotherapy paperwork.
You can indicate if you would like to meet online or in-person in Columbia, MO.
