This work should never be done alone.
Clinicians are on the front lines of the aches, pains, and indignities people from marginalized communities face. Exclusion and isolation are major contributors to mental health challenges. Community and relationships are a protective factor in this work, not to mention an ethical obligation! Professional clinical consultation is one way for affirmative clinicians to seek community and manage their own isolation, compassion fatigue, and burnout from this work. Out Couch Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy offers both individual and group consultation to build collaborative and resilient clinical relationships and support the ongoing work of affirmative clinicians.
