Clinical  
consultations
for 
professionals

Feeling stuck?  Maybe substance use is not one of your areas of expertise.  No matter how well informed we are, it is impossible to be knowledgeable in every area of our clients' complex lives.

what to expect

In my work with clients, I incorporate compassion, pragmatism and collaboration. I take the same approach when working with professionals.

Prior to the consultation, I will ask you a few questions about what you are needing from the consultation.  This will ensure that I have information prepared that is specific to your needs and/or your client's needs.  All consultations will be individualized.

When possible or appropriate, I will provide you with additional resources, worksheets, referrals or recommended readings.  

The logistics

Clinical consultations are 50 minutes or 80 minutes, depending on your needs and preferences. 

 

 The format may be in person or via telehealth platform. 

I charge my regular hourly rate of $170.00 for 50 minute appointments and $272.00 for 80 minutes. 

 

If you are intern/associate status, inquire about the possibility of a reduced rate.

You may also share your consultation with a colleague to make the appointment more affordable.
