Consultation
Consultation for professional mental health counselors involves seeking guidance, advice, or collaboration from another experienced mental health professional or a group of professionals. This process is designed to enhance the quality of care provided by the counselor, ensure ethical and effective practices, and promote ongoing professional development.
At Counseling and Recovery Guidance, we have recurring monthly consultation groups that are open to other clinicians in the area.
Clinical Consultation Group
Our clinical consultation group is run by Rebekah Daugereaux, LPC-S. Mental health counselors often participate in case consultations, where they discuss specific cases with colleagues or supervisors. This collaborative approach allows for different perspectives and insights, contributing to more comprehensive and effective treatment plans. Rebekah is an experienced counselor and supervisor who has a wealth of knowledge about case conceptualization.

Experiential Consultation Group
The CRG Experiential Therapy Consultation Group is a 90-minute, clinician-to-clinician consultation space designed for therapists who incorporate—or want to more confidently integrate—experiential, trauma-informed approaches into their clinical work.
Hosted via Zoom by Jessica Gibson, LPC-S, NCC, these groups provide a structured yet relational environment to think together about complex cases, clinical stuck points, ethical considerations, and the felt experience of doing this work. Consultation emphasizes presence, process, and clinical decision-making rather than protocols alone.
Each consultation group centers on an experiential intervention, paired with reflective clinical consultation. The focus is on practical application, clinical judgment, and thoughtful integration rather than performance or technique mastery.
This group is especially well-suited for clinicians working with trauma, PTSI, substance use, family systems, and high-acuity populations, including veterans, first responders, and their families. Experiential modalities may include EMDR-informed work, psychodrama, sand tray, parts-based interventions, and other relational or somatic approaches, with attention to cultural competence and clinician sustainability.
Consultation groups are peer-focused, reflective, and practical—supporting:
- Case consultation and clinical problem-solving
- Exploration of countertransference, boundaries, and therapist sustainability
- Ethical and culturally responsive use of experiential interventions
- Connection with clinicians doing similar work
Continuing Education
Consultation hours may be eligible for continuing education credit. Acceptance of consultation-based CEUs is determined by each licensing or certifying body. Participants are responsible for verifying eligibility and applicability with their individual state licensing board or credentialing organization, including NBCC.
For Louisiana-licensed Professional Counselors, consultation hours may be applied toward continuing education in accordance with Louisiana LPC Board of Examiners rules when consultation meets board-defined criteria. Licensees are responsible for confirming applicability and documentation requirements with the Louisiana LPC Board, as approval and allowable categories may vary.
