PROFESSIONAL CONSULTATIONS

Are you a mental health provider with a client who was suddenly diagnosed with cancer but lack the competence in treating this population? Per the CAMFT Code of Ethics: “5.11 SCOPE OF COMPETENCE:Marriage and family therapists take care to provide proper diagnoses of psychological disorders or conditions and do not assess, test, diagnose, treat, or advise on issues beyond the level of their competence as determined by their education, training, and experience. While developing new areas of practice, marriage and family therapists take steps to ensure the competence of their work through education, training, consultation, and/or supervision.”

Mary Mathew offers professional consultations to other clinicians (PhD, PsyD, LMFT, LCSW, LPCC, trainees and associates) who are working with people effected by cancer. Consultations can be scheduled in 60 minutes ($200) or 90 minutes ($300) time slots.

SLIDING SCALE- Not available at this time

Therapy is an expensive commitment for many families. For this reason, the fee will be determined during the initial complimentary consultation.

Limited slots are available for reduced fees. Client’s who are actively receiving cancer treatment will be prioritized. All reduced fees will be reassessed every 6 months, as family situations shift and change regularly. If an acceptable fee cannot be arranged, you will be provided with resources and referrals to better support you.
