Clinical Consultation for Therapists

"Whatever our training, we all have clinical experiences that challenge our intellect, perturb our emotions, and provoke our insecurities."

-Fine-Thomas and McWilliams (2027)

Clinical consultation is a place to slow down, begin to understand your patient deeply, and find the most helpful way forward.

Individual Consultation

I offer 50-minute consultations, as a single meeting or on an ongoing basis.

A single consultation helps when you’re stuck with a particular case, weighing a clinical or ethical decision, or want a fresh perspective.

Ongoing consultation helps clinicians improve the therapeutic relationship, sharpen their exploration and understanding of the patient’s experience, and better utilize principles of intervention practically. Over time, these skills deepen the treatment with patients and help clinicians build confidence in their work. 

Bring a case, a session that stayed with you, a question about technique, or a decision you’re weighing. Or, in ongoing consultation, present a single case from beginning to end, or any case that challenges you.

  • $280 per consultation
  • 50 minutes
  • In person in Edmond, or by secure video or phone
  • For licensed and pre-licensed clinicians

Consultation Groups

I facilitate three consultation groups for early-career therapists (LMFT and LPC candidates and those licensed fewer than 5 years). One meets weekly; two meet every other week. Each is a small, steady group where clinicians present cases, think together, and learn psychodynamic ideas they can use with patients.

Openings come up occasionally. If you’re interested, email me at jeff@fine-thomas.com to ask about current openings.

  • $50 per meeting
  • Wednesday from 4:30 to 6:00pm (weekly), or every other Thursday from 10:30am to 12:00pm CST (alternating weeks)
  • In person only
  • 8 participants per group

Postgraduate Candidate Training

George Horton, Kimberly Campbell, and I are developing a 3-hour weekly training program for LPC and LMFT candidates that will span over 32 weeks starting in the fall of 2027. The curriculum will include an hour of consultation in which participants can present any case they need help with, an hour of didactic teaching on the foundations of psychotherapy, and an hour of consultation in which participants will present the same case 3 times over the 32 week period. The cost will be about $85 per week. Candidates will be required to have a clinical supervisor outside the program and they will be required to confirm with their supervisor and applicable licensing law that they can count hours of consultation toward licensure. These hours will not count toward their supervision hours. Please reach out to jeff@fine-thomas.com with questions or to be placed on the enrollment list.

Starting Fall 2027

  • About $85 per week
  • 3 hours weekly
  • 32 weeks
  • For LPC and LMFT candidates

A note on licensure

For those who are yet to be licensed, I do not offer direct clinical supervision and participants must have a primary supervisor per their licensing law/regulation. However, consultation hours do not count as supervision hours but may count toward your overall hours. Please check your licensing law and with your supervisor for details.
