Therapist Consultation


Consultation at Beyond the Mind is prioritized for individuals who have completed a training through Beyond the Mind, and who reside and/or are licensed/working in Colorado. Generally, Beyond the Mind offers consultation for therapists looking to receive support specific to working somatically with clients with trauma and/or clinicians who are providing Ketamine and/or Cannabis Assisted Psychotherapy as a tool in their practice. Beyond the Mind also prioritizes clinicians who have taken similar trainings outside of Beyond the Mind, and would like additional support in the areas of trauma and particularly somatic trauma therapy & Ketamine and/or Cannabis Assisted Psychotherapy. As is true in all of the professional trainings, events, and retreats hosted by Beyond the Mind, a strong focus of clinical consultation is on the self-as-therapist philosophy and is always collaborative in nature. We want to provide a safe place for professionals to share professional insecurities, vulnerabilities, and make mistakes in the work while maintaining a high level of ethical, moral and professional standards. A self-as-therapist philosophy does not mean that consultation becomes a container for the professional’s therapy process. If you are a professional who is interested in seeing a therapist at Beyond the Mind for standard therapeutic care, we welcome you to reach out for that instead.

Therapist Consultation vs. Supervision

Consultation is different than supervision in two key ways at Beyond the Mind. First, unless an exception and agreements are made, consultation services will not fulfill the supervision requirements needed to gain licensure, and licensure paperwork will not be signed by Beyond the Mind practitioners. Additionally, consultation is more collaborative in nature and advice, experiences, and expertise is shared in a way where it is expected that the consultee will use information gained as they deem appropriate in their own professional judgement. Essentially, consultees are expected to incorporate advice and insights gained in consultation as suggestions not directives, and are responsible for how they integrate consultation into their clinical practice.
