Welcome to my secure practice portal. If you haven't yet learned about who I am and what I might be able to offer you, then please take a look at my main website prior to scheduling.

IF YOU ARE SEEKING A THERAPIST...as of Spring 2025, I am not currently accepting new clients and, due to long wait times for an opening, I am not maintaining a waitlist. For this reason, you will not find any spots in my schedule for an initial, free consult for therapy services.

As an alternative, I recommend consulting the therapist directory provided by the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation.

IF YOU ARE AN EMDR PRACTITIONER SEEKING CONSULTATION FOR EMDRIA CERTIFICATION OR APPROVED CONSULTANT STATUS...I regret that I am not currently taking on new consultees seeking these EMDR therapy credentials.

IF YOU ARE A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SEEKING AD HOC OR ONGOING CLINICAL CONSULTATION...you will find spots on my schedule for both 30- and 60-minute consults. I am able to provide consultation on the following topics:

  1. EMDR therapy and its use to treat persons with trauma, pre-verbal trauma, complex trauma, and dissociative adaptations (including DSM/ICD dissociative disorders) 
  2. Integrative treatment of persons with trauma, pre-verbal trauma, complex trauma, and dissociative adaptations (including DSM/ICD dissociative disorders) 
  3. Ethical and systemic challenges in the treatment of persons with complex histories and inner experience
  4. The Multidimensional Inventory of Dissociation (MID), including basic and advanced interpretation, the application of MID-derived information in clinical practice, etc. Please be aware that I do not provide consultation on results from self-administered assessments, owing to the high risk that the critical boundary between my serving as a therapist and serving as your consultant will be blurred/obliterated.

If you are seeking consultation on the first three of the above-noted areas, then please register in this portal and request a 30- or 60-minute 'Clinical Consult for Mental Health Professional'. (You'll need to choose that service from the drop-down menu to see available time slots.)

If you are seeking consultation exclusively/specifically on the Multidimensional Inventory of Dissociation, then please register and request either a 30- or 60-minute 'MID Consult for Mental Health Professional'. (You'll need to choose one of those services from the drop-down menu to see available time slots.)

CONSULTATION FEES

My standard consultation fee for one or two* participants is $175.00 for a 55- to 60-minute consult and $100.00 for a 30-minute consult. For a deeper dive into the issue(s) at hand, I generally recommend an hour as being more helpful. I am in some instances able to offer a reduced fee for consultation to practitioners who are emerging professionals** (associates, pre-licensed/registered), AND/OR work predominantly with underserved populations, in not-for-profit settings (e.g., community health centers, shelters, etc.), AND/OR who practice in countries with depressed economies and/or an unfavorable monetary exchange rate in relation to the US. Generally, in those instances, I offer a 60-minute consultation at my 30-minute consultation rate***.

*If you are seeking to 'double up' with a colleague for a consult, then please ensure you both register on this portal first, then contact me to let me know you'll both be attending, as well as the date/time (I am on Pacific US time) you'd like to reserve. I will set up up the consult on the backend and split the fee for you. 

**If you are not yet licensed/registered to practice independently, then I will need written acknowledgment/approval from your clinical supervisor before I will confirm your consultation request. If this is your situation, then please contact me for more information, including the letter template.

***If you would like to request a discounted consultation fee, then please contact me and be certain to provide context for your request.

GROUP CONSULTS

All consultation group sessions (3 or more participants) require pre-arrangement, so please contact me directly to discuss scheduling a group consult.


Whether you are seeking treatment or professional growth through consultation, thank you for stopping by. I look forward to speaking with you soon.


Kindest regards,
Michael
