Facilitated peer consultation can play a vital role in feeling connected and supported in our work, especially when we are in private practice. Many of my supervisees identify loneliness as one of the primary barriers to entering into a private practice. In addition, peer consultation groups allow us to learn from each other, build strong and sustainable referral networks and still learn from a lead clinician who can be trusted to guide the group process.

Many clinicians find that joining a peer consultation group while finishing a Masters degree is incredibly supportive to their goals following graduation and licensure.

Newer clinicians who are skeptical of the institutional focus on shorter term, solution focused models might find a refreshing space to explore different ways to inhabit our work.

I am not currently running any consultation groups, but would be happy to form one with enough interest. For peer support in the meantime, feel free to explore the training opportunities I offer through The Asheville School of Psychoanalytic Thought.
