Bi-Weekly Virtual Consult Circle
At Shelterwood Collective, we believe that no one should have to hold this work alone.
Our bi-weekly virtual consultation group is a consistent, accessible space for psychotherapists and mental health counselors to come together in community — to think, reflect, wonder, and metabolize the work alongside one another. These groups are designed as inclusive, judgment-free containers where you can bring real questions, real cases, and your real self.
These circles are inspired by the simple truth that sometimes you just need to get to somebody. Having a consistent, relational place to land is grounding and sustaining. Consultation is not just about clinical problem-solving; it’s about belonging, continuity, and being witnessed in the long arc of this work.
Consultation groups are an essential part of ethical, embodied, and sustainable practice. They offer:
Ongoing clinical support and perspective
Relief from isolation and over-identification
Opportunities to learn from the lived experience of peers
A space to integrate theory, intuition, and personhood
Support for both new and seasoned clinicians navigating complexity, doubt, and growth
When held well, consultation strengthens not only our clinical skill, but our nervous systems, our relationships to the work, and our capacity to stay human inside of it.
We are grateful to be partnering with Shelley Green, an experienced clinician and supervisor who brings so much depth and heart to this work. Her role will be tending to process and cultivating a collaborative learning space.
Container
Our Consult Circles are consistent containers of support and development for practitioners of all levels seeking a more intimate space for community, inspiration, and skill-building.
Group meets virtually on a bi-weekly basis and is intentionally structured to be generative and relational, rather than performative or evaluative.
This group is for Shelterwood members only. You are welcome to come every time it’s offered or drop in as needed. We just ask that you RSVP so we can be prepare to hold space and that you come with curiosity!
(Note: This group does not provide direct supervision hours)
Exchange
We are excited to be able to offer this consult group free of charge to Shelterwood members. This offering reflects our belief that thoughtful clinical companionship is foundational to sustainable practice and collective wellbeing.
Shelley Green
Psychotherapist & Clinical Supervisor
she/her
Hello! My name is Shelley. I’ve been a part of Shelterwood for over 10 years and love teaching, facilitating, and supervising!
A little about me: I’ve been in private practice for thirteen years, and I’ve also worked in community mental health in outpatient, school-based, and long-term inpatient settings. My BSc was earned in England, majoring in Psychology, with a heavy focus on neuroscience and neurobiology of personality. My Master’s is in Systems Counseling from a local (now closed) program called LIOS, known for being experiential, experimental, and very focused on process/self as therapist/therapeutic relationship. My educational background is a pretty weird mix of hyper-research focused empiricism and funky old-school type therapy (my counseling degree was almost entirely earned sitting in a circle of chairs surrounding a tissue box), and that captures me pretty well!
My clinical perspective is very systems oriented, process oriented, and relationally oriented. As a supervisor my great interest is in supporting therapists in deepening their capacity for the “being with” – a skillset that I fear is decreasingly emphasized in contemporary accredited programs. I use humor, I find profanity irresistible, and I very much enjoy talking about therapy, but I do not take this work lightly.
I’m a deep believer in the importance of consultation. My own consult group has been meeting biweekly for the entire duration of the eleven years I’ve been in practice. We have all grown enormously as a result of the feedback and support we exchange, and I’m very excited for any opportunity to experiment with a similar container alongside other therapists. I look forward to the exchange of ideas, insights and support that lies ahead of us! And I look forward to the opportunity for us all to hold the wider community of clients in our minds and hearts, and give them a better quality of therapy through our shared thoughtfulness and exchange of feedback. Can’t wait!
