For June, our consultation theme will be Transference & Countertransference. This work calls us to prioritize our relational awareness, monitor our internal reactions, and embrace countertransference not as a “mistake” but as a source of clinical data and possibility.

Boundaries help create a safe container for therapy, protect both client and clinician, and support clarity, trust, and ethical work. This month we’ll reflect on what healthy boundaries look like, how they shift across settings and clients, and what it means to establish and maintain boundaries with compassion and integrity.

This month, we will learn from Mina Samuels and Suzanne Forrester, from Synthesis Institute, who will speak with us about psychedelics in psychotherapy, with a specific focus on psilocybin. This conversation will help us strengthen foundational literacy, consider clinical implications, and reflect on how to approach this topic with nuance, humility, and care.

As clinicians, helpers, and system workers, we often carry the emotional weight of others’ stories. Over time, that exposure can cause secondary trauma or vicarious trauma. These experiences might not be dramatic or crisis-level; they often accumulate slowly, altering our worldview, relationships, and capacity to engage.

Counselors & social workers (and humans) who invite honest feedback tend to have stronger alliances, better retention, and better outcomes overall. This month, we’ll explore how to elicit feedback in ways that feel genuine, relational, and culturally attuned. This is true whether you work in a micro, mezzo, or macro setting (clinical or not).
