It creates a supportive space where members can express themselves without judgment, gain insight from others' experiences and perspectives, practice interpersonal skills in a safe environment.

Consultation of the patient with a psychologist

Consultations

Consultation is a collaborative process where a mental health professional offers guidance and expertise to another individual-often another counselor, provider, or educator-who is working with a client or through a challenging situation. The focus isn't on treating the client directly but on supporting the consultee's effectiveness. In order to provide a thorough treatment plan, Michelle consults and collaborates with school counselors, pediatricians, primary care providers, and psychiatrists.

Telehealth Counseling

Telehealth counseling is mental health care delivered remotely using technology like video calls via Doxy.me. Instead of visiting a therapist or counselor in person, individuals can access support from the comfort of their home, which is useful for people in rural areas, those with mobility or transportation issues, or simply maintaining continuity of care during disruptions (like a pandemic or travel).
