Consultation

As a consultant, I play a vital role in promoting your psychological and emotional well-being through support, skills development in stress management, conflict resolution, problem solving, and compassion satisfaction. Consultation agreements can be a single, one-time session or over a period of weeks or months, depending on your needs and goals. This will include an agreed duration and cost with a collaborative plan highlighting your desired outcome and the steps to achieve this. All services are available through virtual platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, etc. For those living near Charleston, SC, I am open to discussing in-person services with an additional cost for travel at .35 cents per mile. The cost of my consultation service is $125 per hour, or $75 for 30 minutes.

How are you qualified to provide me with these services?

Over my 30 years of experience, I have developed programs and services from the ground up and facilitated and implemented program evaluations and process improvements to provide effectiveness and efficiency within my work settings. Here is a list of some projects and processes I have developed and improved: Social Work assessments for a Heart Transplant program, Legacy and Memory Making programs in two hospital systems, a booklet on planning for the death of a loved one in one hospital system, Case Management resource management, assessments, and referrals in several hospital systems, screening tools and practices in an outpatient Oncology practice, Serious Illness Conversation program in an outpatient Oncology practice, and Social Work roles in outpatient and inpatient medical settings. I have implemented team development training for small and large groups in Palliative Care, Boys & Girls Clubs, and Oncology. I regularly present on assorted topics to professionals from various disciplines and am also available to speak to your organization. Upon request, I will provide my CV (resume) and references listing supportive information on the above stated projects and processes I have been part of developing and improving.
