Clinical Supervision for Licensed Psychotherapists and Current Psychology Grad Students
In my clinical practice, not only do I see patients, I also meet with psychotherapists who need a licensed psychologist to provide case consultation and supervision. Licensed clinical social workers, licensed marriage and family therapists, licensed mental health counselors, and newly licensed psychologists in private practice are all required to have a well seasoned supervisor.
I also provide consultation and clinical education to graduate students in psychology.
Differential Diagnosis for
LMFTs, LMHCs, LCSWs, PsyDs & PhDs
In an increasingly complex world, and with the new Diagnosis and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders recently published, determining an accurate diagnosis for patients is complicated, and, at times, perplexing.
I help other clinicians figure out exactly what they are seeing and hearing in their interactions with clients, what diagnoses can be ruled out, and which one is the most accurate for treatment planning and insurance billing purposes.
