Forming now: a trauma-informed consultation group for Queer-identified therapists.

This group will meet on the first Wednesday of each month from 11am - 12:30pm in person at the Chicago Center for Integration & Healing (CCIH, 4700 N. Ravenswood Ave. Suite C), beginning on Wednesday, November 6th, 2024. The fee for each meeting will be $80, which will include CEUs for attendance. We have space for up to 10 participants.

If you are a Queer-identified therapist with an existing caseload (student interns are welcome!) and are interested in joining the group, email Victoria Birkbeck, CCIH practice manager, at officemanager@theccih.com or by phone at (773) 754-7441 ext. 2500.

Clinical Consultation

Individual & Group Consultation

I am happy to offer individual and group consultation to therapists who wish to integrate more trauma-informed, present-centered and/or fat-positive approaches into their work with clients. I am available to consult on individual client cases or on broader topics such as how to approach working with clients who are attempting intentional weight loss or taking weight-loss medication from a fat liberation perspective. I offer consultation on a one-off or ongoing basis. If you are interested in individual or group consultation, feel free to reach out!

Consultation Group for Larger-Bodied Therapists

This group is open to visibly fat therapists with existing caseloads (student interns welcome!) and will utilize an anti-oppressive, Queer- and Trans-affirming, Fat Liberation lens. Though we will always make space for discussing cases and addressing clinical questions, we may also explore such topics as:

-Coping with and addressing anti-fatness as we encounter it: with clients and colleagues, in organizations and professional networks, at trainings and events, and in the world

-Personal and professional boundaries around anti-fatness

-Grappling with our own [internalized] anti-fatness

-Applying Fat Liberation principles to our work

The group meets on the second Friday of each month from 1-2:30 pm in person at 5215 N. Ravenswood Ave. (suite 212).

Fee: sliding scale, $60-100 per group
