Consultation and Supervision

** currently on hiatus due to COVID**

ACCS sponsors an ongoing consultation group for professionals working with older adults who are experiencing mental health challenges. 

This is not a networking group, but instead an intensive discussion of cases and issues. All participants share information, resources, and feedback to the presenting professional. 

As a geriatric mental health specialist, Karin facilitates the discussion and provides guidance to the group. 

For more information and to be added to the email invite list,  contact Karin at 206.999.5934 or Karin@AgingCareConsult.com.  

A consult group participant said:  "This group has been so helpful to me - I hate to ever miss it because I learn so much every time.  It has definitely helped me with my clients and my practice."

As an approved mental health supervisor, Karin provides clinical supervision to candidates working toward full licensure in mental health counseling, marriage and family therapy, and social work.

Candidates should have at least one year post-master's experience and an established client base and/or agency employment.  

• One-on-one supervision meetings are provided in Karin's north Seattle home office, and/or at other locations as schedule permits.  
• Phone meetings can occur after the supervisory relationship is established.  
• Group meetings subject to interest and schedules.
