What a consult actually looks like

A consult is a first conversation. It is not a trap, and it is not the start of treatment unless you decide it is.

You tell me what you are walking in with — as much or as little as you want on a first call. I tell you how I work: confidential counseling, first person, one room at a time. I also tell you I am licensed in Tennessee as an LPC-MHSP(A). The (A) is the associate credential. I work under a licensed clinical supervisor, the way the state requires, through Alliance Counseling.

I will say whether I think I am a fit. If I am not, I will say that too. You do not owe me a yes at the end of the call.

I meet people in Franklin or Mt. Juliet, or by telehealth if you are in Tennessee. I do not put a street address on this site. If you schedule, I send you what you need to get there.

If you want the longer story of how I sit with people, start with more about Derek. If you already know you want the conversation, write me.
