Supervision and Consultation

I am delighted to offer individual supervision to Licensed Social Workers in PA as well as consultation for therapists and people in related healing fields. These services are virtual at this time and may be short-term or long-term depending on your needs. Here is some of what I can offer:

  • Dedication to affirming work with queer, trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming clients

  • Solid experience and interest in the use of internal family systems therapy, cemented by Level 2 training from the IFS Institute and experience as a teaching assistant for several IFS Foundations Courses for Trans, Non-binary, and Queer Clinicians

  • An anti-oppressive, abolitionist, and trauma-informed perspective

  • Lived experience with borderline personality disorder as well as clinical experience and research-based knowledge about working with clients presenting with borderline features, complex trauma, and/or disorganized attachment

  • A commitment to relational therapy, consultation, and supervision

As with therapy, my full fee for consultation and supervision is $160 and I provide sliding scale. I currently have availability at $80 or higher. If it is possible for you to pay $160 or closer to the higher end of the sliding scale, I ask that you do so in order to facilitate access for others for whom that is not possible. In weighing what feels possible for you, please take the following into account: income and stability of income; savings; access to generational wealth; access to others’ income; social locations such as race, gender, and ability; expenses including bills, debts, and people whom you support financially; assets; licensing status (whether you have clinical licensure); and whether you frequently have money to spend on areas outside of necessary expenses. Please note that I do not generally provide supervision or consultation without charge in order to prioritize pro bono/reparation session availability for clients.

Please be aware that I ask that supervisees and people receiving regular consultation raise their fees by $5 to $10 at the start of the new calendar year if they have not recently increased their fees.
