Monthly Consultation Group for Therapists

Supporting clinicians who work with men, couples, trauma, and intimacy.

 

Therapists are often asked to hold incredibly complex relational systems—high-conflict couples, shut-down or avoidant partners, trauma histories, sexual disconnection, and clients who come to us at pivotal crossroads in their lives.

​

This consultation group is designed to support you as a clinician in the places where the work can feel the heaviest, the most layered, and the most clinically demanding.

​

Led by Kristal DeSantis, LMFT, author of STRONG: A Relationship Field Guide for the Modern Man and a specialist in men’s mental health, high-complexity couples, trauma, and sex therapy, this group offers a space for:

​

Deepening clinical insight

Case consultation on challenging relational dynamics

Attachment, somatic, and trauma-informed integration

Working more effectively with male clients

Navigating countertransference in high-intensity cases

Increasing confidence with couples in crisis or transition

Developing a clear, ethical, grounded therapeutic stance

Whether you’re wanting new tools, fresh eyes on a difficult case, or simply a supportive professional community, this group provides structured, focused, high-quality consultation in a small-group environment.
