MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING & Voc rehab

---

BARRIERS

Your customers encounter challenges when trying to complete their education, explore a meaningful career, or sustain and maintain employment?  Customers may feel stuck, or are not addressing barriers resulting in limited progress on their IPEs.  I experienced your heavy caseloads and know the frustration of not offering more customer support. 

SUPPORT

I provide short-term, goal-oriented, mental health counseling for Washington State VR customers. They may overcome emotional and cognitive barriers, embrace disability adjustment, and more. I support DVR and DSB VRCs who with their demanding schedules find it impossible to address their customers' mental health needs. 

Please contact me for:

• Free consultations for each customer
• Presentations to your VR staff
• Confidential conversations addressing mental health barriers for customers

IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL SESSIONS

In-person counseling sessions are offered on Mondays and Thursdays in Seattle's Madrona neighborhood. The office is accessible via elevator and both bathrooms are accessible. There is free, on-street parking.  Virtual sessions are offered on Tuesday and Wednesday through a HIPAA compliant video service. Day and evening sessions are available.

VR DOCUMENTATION 

Providing counseling services for VR customers is defined in the Customer Service Manual. Please contact me for copies of this policy, the service code and description, and unit cost. This makes writing the AFP a snap. Your rehab tech will appreciate the simplicity of writing AFPs for mental health service. 

BACKGROUND

I was a DVR VRC III, earned my MA Rehab Counseling degree at WWU, am a Certified Rehab Counselor (CRC), and LMHC. For eight years until the pandemic hit, I operated InsideWorks, a consulting practice that served hundreds of DVR/DSB customers through out Washington State who selected self-employment as their employment goal. Former RSA commissioner Janet Labreck recruited me to consult alongside her team addressing significant fiscal, operational, and program issues in VR agencies throughout the country and US territories. My focus is now on the counseling practice serving people throughout Washington State.
