PSI Seminar 1: Advanced Training in Trauma Treatment

  Individual Consultation and Supervision

Individual telephone or online video consultation sessions for therapists can be arranged privately, as time permits, by contacting me via e-mail at jlightstone-at-gmail.com (substituting the "-at-"for an @ sign) or by leaving a message on my California phone number (510) 984-1243 or my New Zealand mobile +64(0)27 657 2106. Please let me know your local time zone, along with all the times you have available to receive a telephone or video-call over the internet, as well as your level of urgency. I will then let you know if I have any of those times available for me as well.

During our session, we'll work with the therapeutic relationship as it presents itself in the consultation relationship. Your health and well being as a therapist are paramount to your ability to help your patients/clients, and so part of the work will be to help you develop resilience in your work. Consultation will also help you to adapt your individual style and techniques to meet the needs of your specific patients/clients.

Please let me know whether you would like a response by e-mail or telephone. Be sure to include your e-mail address or telephone number.

The fee for this service is US$135 for a 50 minute session, or $202.50 for a 75 minute session.

You may reserve time for Individual Supervision/Consultation time in 50 and 75 minute increments below:

 "I have known Judy Lightstone for the past 25 or so years.

I have consistently found Judy to be intelligent, ethical, responsible and an excellent clinician." 

- Deborah Brenner-Liss, founder Association of Professionals Treating Eating Disorders, Bay Area

 

 "Judy is one of those few people cross trained in the numerous methods needed to effectively treat complex trauma disorders." -

 Sandra Paulsen, owner Bainbridge Institute for Integrative Psychology

Judy is dedicated to safe and ethical conduct with both clients and practitioners alike. Judy is an extraordinary professional who successfully integrates academic knowledge, relevant and interesting teaching methodologies in conjunction with fascinating practice wisdom. Further, Judy is compassionate, respectful, gentle, intelligent, and not without a warm sense of humour."

I can also recommend Judy as a very skilled and experienced therapist who specializes in the treatment of trauma, dissociation and eating disorders. She is able to diagnose accurately and treats her clients with understanding, respect, and compassion.
