If you're a psychotherapist and you're struggling with a case that involves the treatment of complicated grief or trauma, I would be happy to consult with you. Even if you're an experienced therapist and have worked with these types of issues before, it can help to have a specialist's point of view. Alternatively, if you don't work with grief and trauma much, you might recognize the need to get the guidance of someone who's passionate about these cases, for extra support.

 

Consultation for trauma and complicated grief cases

You might be working with a client who loses someone unexpectedly during the course of your work. They might have traumatic shock or not know how to cope. Another client might reveal to you during their treatment that they were raped or sexually assaulted when they were younger. You didn't see this coming and you might be thinking, "Whoa! This is heavy! I don't know what to do. Should I refer out?"

 

You don't necessarily have to stop treatment and force the client to form a whole new bond with a new therapist. I would be honored to consult with you. I have 20+ years post post licensure experience and much of it has been with treating trauma and grief. 

 

If you're new to the field or want to learn more about these concerns, I would be happy to schedule a 
live consultation over HIPAA-secure video. I have given workshops and presentations at various professional organizations regarding traumatic grief and using hypnosis to treat it. I would love to help you sort out what is acute, adaptive grief vs. traumatic or prolonged grief. I have also been working with various types of trauma for many years and can help you step back from a case or situation to gain clarity and a greater sense of mastery.

 

I am licensed in California, so I cannot practice psychotherapy outside of the state. However, I provide consultation and answer questions about trauma, complicated grief, EMDR therapy, and clinical hypnosis for therapists wherever you're located.

 

Of course, if you're out of state, you'll need to consult your state or country's laws about practicing therapy. Nonetheless, I can help you understand your client's needs and help you develop a solid treatment plan. While I am not an EMDRIA-Approved Consultant, I do have years of experience with treating trauma survivors and people dealing with acute and complicated bereavement.
