Crisis Consultation for Group Practices
I provide crisis consultation, retainer-based support, training, and organizational debriefs for group practices, clinics, and training sites navigating suicidal crisis, psychosis, mandated reporting, and other high-risk clinical situations. My approach is practical, collaborative, and relationally grounded, while remaining attentive to legal, ethical, and organizational realities.
My background includes direct work in high-acuity community mental health settings, crisis assessment, and years of teaching graduate clinicians how to work with suicidal crisis in ways that are both clinically rigorous and genuinely collaborative. I have taught hundreds of graduate students on crisis management, suicide risk assessment, safety planning, mandated reporting, and the clinical management of complex risk.
Services
Consultation
I offer consultation to group practices and organizations seeking support with clinical risk, complex case management, documentation, and difficult decision-making. This may include consultation around suicidal ideation, homicidal ideation, duty to protect and mandated reporting concerns, levels of care, involuntary treatment questions, collaborative safety planning, and how to think clearly in moments of uncertainty.
Retainer-Based Support
For practices that want a more consistent source of support, I offer retainer-based consultation. This can provide ongoing access for leadership, supervisors, or clinicians seeking guidance around high-risk situations, policy questions, staffing concerns, or challenging case dynamics. The goal is to help build greater organizational steadiness, clarity, and capacity over time.
Training
I provide trainings for group practices, agencies, and training sites on topics including:
collaborative and non-coercive safety planning
suicide risk assessment
mandated reporting
documentation and clinical decision-making
managing high-acuity clinical situations in outpatient settings
working with uncertainty, liability concerns, and organizational containment
These trainings can be adapted for associates, licensed clinicians, supervisors, or leadership teams.
Organizational Debriefs
After difficult or high-impact clinical events, organizations often need space not only to review what happened, but to think together about clinical process, emotional impact, organizational response, and what may need to change going forward. I offer debrief support for practices and teams after crises, sentinel events, staff distress, or other clinically and emotionally charged moments.
Areas of Focus
My work in this area often includes:
collaborative safety planning that is clinically meaningful rather than merely defensive
risk assessment for suicidal ideation and homicidal ideation
mandated reporting and related ethical decision-making
documentation practices that support both good care and sound risk management
consultation around hospitalization, higher levels of care, and outpatient management
helping clinicians and organizations respond thoughtfully under pressure
supporting leadership in building sustainable, practice-wide approaches to clinical safety
Who This Is For
This service may be a fit for:
group practices wanting consultation support around high-risk clinical work
practices building or revising protocols for suicidality, psychosis, and mandated reporting
clinical directors seeking outside support for staff development and risk management
organizations wanting training that is practical, relational, and clinically nuanced
teams needing debrief support after difficult clinical situations
