Consultation is distinct from therapy.
In consultation, I take the same training and knowledge I use in therapy to facilitate conversations focused on problem-solving and goal-setting. In therapy, I am providing mental health treatment to an individual who is presenting themselves for that treatment. In consultation, I work with individuals, couples, families, employers, team leaders, along with people in all kinds of roles and positions. We work to identify the mental health goal given the specific situation and context, and then we collaborate on how to meet those goals.
