professional consultation

 

Twenty years of specialty expertise, available to the practices and organizations that need it.

It takes more than good intentions and clinical training to build something that actually works: a treatment program, a clinical framework, a specialty practice. It takes a clear model, a structured approach, and someone who has already made the mistakes you are trying to avoid.

That is what professional consulting at Waypoint Therapy offers.

With more than 20 years of clinical experience, a certified specialty in anxiety treatment, and the development of a proprietary structured treatment model for adolescent girls, I bring a specific and hard-won expertise to the organizations and practitioners I consult with. This is not generalist practice management advice. It is deep, specialized knowledge applied to the challenges you are actually facing.

Who I work with:

Mental health practices and group practices
You have good clinicians. You may even have a niche. But you are finding that your treatment approach is inconsistent across providers, your outcomes are hard to measure, and your clients don't always know what they're getting or how long it will take. I help practices develop structured, replicable treatment frameworks so that the quality of care a client receives doesn't depend entirely on which clinician they happen to be assigned to.

Organizations serving adolescent populations
Residential programs, intensive outpatient programs, community mental health organizations, and nonprofits working with adolescent girls often have dedicated, passionate staff and under-developed clinical infrastructure. I consult on program design, treatment model development, staff training, and clinical quality.

Individual practitioners building a specialty practice
You know what you want to specialize in. You may even have a clear population in mind. But translating that vision into a coherent clinical model, a marketable practice structure, and a sustainable private pay business is harder than it looks. I work with individual clinicians who are serious about building something distinctive helping them develop their own frameworks, define their niche, and position their practice with clarity and confidence.

Healthcare and education organizations
Hospitals, pediatric practices, school districts, and educational organizations looking to develop or strengthen their adolescent mental health programming can draw on my experience in program development, clinical training, and the practical application of evidence-based frameworks in real-world settings.

What consulting engagements typically cover:

Every consulting relationship is tailored, there is no off-the-shelf package here. Depending on your needs, we might work on:

  • Clinical program design and treatment model development

  • Structuring treatment protocols for specific adolescent populations

  • Staff training and clinical capacity building around anxiety, perfectionism, and social media's impact on youth

  • Integrating VR-enhanced exposure therapy into existing treatment settings

  • Parent engagement frameworks building family involvement into clinical programs

  • Private practice development for specialty clinicians

  • Referral network development and community positioning

  • Outcome measurement and program evaluation

How it works:

Consulting engagements begin with a discovery conversation, a focused call where I learn about your organization, your current challenges, and what you are trying to build or improve. From there, I will propose a scope of work that is realistic, specific, and directly tied to your goals.

Engagements range from single strategy sessions to ongoing monthly consulting relationships. I work with a small number of consulting clients at any one time to ensure the depth of attention each one deserves.

A note on fit:

I keep my consulting roster small on purpose. The work that sticks happens with organizations that are genuinely ready to change something. If you want a partner who will push your thinking, help you build something stronger, and stick with you through the hard parts, I'd welcome the conversation.

To explore a consulting engagement:
Contact Waypoint Therapy to schedule a discovery call. Come prepared to tell me what you are trying to build and what is getting in the way. That conversation alone is usually worth having.
