Consulting and Workshops
Supporting organizations and individuals to better understand, implement, and build upon evidence-based practices in psychology.
I consult, lead workshops and present for organizations and leaders on a variety of psychological concepts and practices. I have experience doing so in educational and general helping settings for primary and secondary school officials, for mental health providers, and for administrators in higher education. These consultations can constitute workshops for personnel or one-on-one consultations to problem solve around a particular issue requiring psychological expertise. These may include:
Workshops on how to identify and resist urgency culture and mitigate burnout in the workplace using the framework of trauma-informed care
Discussions on how to make your practice or organization more queer-affirming or trauma-informed using latest evidence-based skills, research, and clinical expertise
Consulting with executives, administrators, and other leaders on how to practice psychological flexibility in their vision and leadership of an organization
For inquiries about availability, format and content of workshops and lecture series, and relevant rates, please call me at (323) 568-1294, or send me a message through portal in the Contact section.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Urgency culture is my term used to describe relentless demands of productivity often imposed by workplaces or other systems and internalized by individuals as the constant need to do more, which can lead to burnout and other difficult symptoms. Trauma-informed care can help increase awareness of this toxic culture and chart a path to a more humane way of living.
-
Trauma-informed care is a term used to described the practices and education disseminated among the public to understand the impact of trauma on an individual and systemic level. It also encompasses the practices that an individual, group, and broader system can implement to mitigate the effects of trauma, which is where I often focus my workshops.
-
Queer-affirming care includes practices and teachings that educate the public on how systemic forces have oppressed and marginalized queer individuals, and how centering their experience on an individual and organizational level can increase the psychological well being for not only queer-identified individuals, but all people interested in a more equitable society.
-
Psychological flexibility is a term used often in mental health, and here I am specifically referring to the usage in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), where it is defined by a series of practices and skills that help a person take broader perspective, cultivate acceptance, and act in accordance with their values despite the potential discomfort in doing so. Psychological flexiblity is a daily practice that can be initiated in many ways, and the specifics of doing so is a subject of my consultations.
