Black Orchid Counseling, LLC

Behavioral Health Consulting

There may be a time when your organization or personal practice requires additional support from an experienced, licensed therapist. Maybe you are unfamiliar with social work ethics, have not navigated the mental health system, or are implementing new programming. Together we can identify the problem and tackle challenges. I am able to provide guidance with ethical dilemmas, complete diagnostic assessments, develop treatment plans, provide short term, effective evidence-based counseling, provide case management, and referral services.

Clinical Supervision

If your current place of employment doesn’t offer these services and you need a competent, supportive supervisor, we can help. As a clinical supervisor, I am legally and ethically responsible for you and every client you come into contact with. I can assist with review of initial assessments, progress notes, correspondences and provide feedback as needed. My goal is to meet with you on a weekly basis for 1-2 years in hopes of providing you with the support you need to develop your abilities as a mental health professional. My role alternates between teacher, mentor, consultant and evaluator. Every session will include preparation and planning to guide your unique needs and interests.

Individual Therapy

Scheduling your first therapy session requires resolve and the first step is having enough self-awareness to realize you might need a little help. No matter what brought you to my page, you deserve to feel like your best self. That being said, I am proud of you and glad you’re here. Therapy is a worthwhile investment in yourself.

Despite some misconceptions, my job as your therapist isn’t to solve your problems for you. I am not here to tell you what to do and I am not here to tell those who have hurt you how wrong they are. Instead, I am a guide - I focus on helping you shift your mindset inward, so you can work out what you can and can’t change; which ultimately is you, your choices and your responses to events.

We all want to be seen, we all need to be heard. You can expect a safe, laid back environment from me and we can move at your pace. I’m here to provide a judgement-free space for you to spill the tea, sort out the big stuff, and build the skills you need to tackle life’s stressors head on.
