Individual Consulting

You retain me directly for an experienced, confidential, clinically informed perspective on your own situation. The question might concern treatment, or it might concern work, family, living circumstances, or a transition. I give you a clear view of what is happening and what I believe you should do next, without your entering another treatment relationship.

What I Handle

An independent clinical read of what is happening
A recommendation on whether treatment or further evaluation is warranted, and at what level of care
Review of the care you are already receiving, and whether it fits you
Weighing competing professional recommendations
Finding and evaluating programs or providers when a change is needed
Decisions involving work, family, living circumstances, or functioning
Directive coaching as decisions come up, including preparation for difficult conversations
Communication with your providers, only where you authorize it

When to Engage It

When you want an experienced perspective from outside your existing care and professional relationships: to understand a situation, weigh a decision, prepare for a transition, or decide whether anything needs to change. Everything is held in confidence and answers to you alone.

How This Is Different

Your treating professionals assess your care from within their own clinical relationships with you. I offer a perspective from outside that care, retained and paid by you alone. I tell you what I see and what I would do, and the decision stays yours.

How This Is Engaged

Most individuals begin with a single consultation through a Defined Engagement; Ongoing Advisory is available when continued counsel is useful.

How I Work

I handle every engagement myself and keep it entirely private. Conversations take place by phone, by video, or in person at a location of your choosing, and I remain directly reachable as decisions come up rather than only at scheduled appointments.
