Collaborative consultation for clinicians navigating complex presentations, clinical uncertainty, and the relational challenges of therapeutic work.
Facilitated by Kirsten Boulier, MSW, RCSW
Explore Consultation OptionsClinical work is not meant to happen in isolation.
Therapists at every stage of their careers encounter situations that invite deeper reflection, alternative perspectives, and collaborative problem-solving.
Clinical consultation provides an opportunity to consider complex presentations, explore treatment decisions, and reflect on the therapeutic relationship with the support of another experienced clinician.
My approach is collaborative, attachment-informed, and grounded in curiosity, thoughtful discussion, and respect for each clinician's professional judgment.

Registered Clinical Social Worker
Trauma Therapist | Consultant | Educator
I am a Registered Clinical Social Worker and founder of Healing Quest Counselling in Maple Ridge, British Columbia.
My professional experience spans clinical practice, professional consultation, interdisciplinary collaboration, education, and trauma-informed program development.
Throughout my career, I have supported clinicians and other helping professionals through case consultation, professional development, and collaborative approaches to complex clinical and relational challenges.
My clinical approach is grounded in attachment theory and relational practice, integrating EMDR, parts work, and somatic approaches. In consultation, I draw on this experience while making space for critical reflection, different theoretical perspectives, and each clinician's own expertise.
Questions About Consultation
Who can participate in clinical consultation?
Consultation is available to counsellors, psychotherapists, and social workers seeking collaborative support with their clinical practice. Clinicians at different stages of their careers are welcome.
Do I need to specialize in trauma or attachment?
No. Although my clinical experience includes trauma, attachment, and relational approaches, consultation is not restricted to clinicians working within these particular frameworks.
The intention is to support thoughtful clinical reasoning and explore different perspectives rather than prescribe one treatment approach.
What is the difference between consultation and supervision?
Clinical consultation is a collaborative professional process that supports reflection, case conceptualization, and clinical decision-making.
Unlike formal supervision, consultation does not establish an ongoing evaluative or supervisory relationship. Participating clinicians remain responsible for their own professional decisions and practice.
These services are not advertised as formal supervision toward registration or certification requirements.
Can I book a single consultation?
Yes. Individual consultations can be arranged as a single appointment to explore a particular clinical question or as an ongoing professional consultation relationship.
How does the group consultation series work?
Group consultation is offered to a maximum of five clinicians. The group meets monthly for four 90-minute sessions.
Participants bring clinical questions, dilemmas, and appropriately de-identified case material for collaborative discussion and reflection.
The group remains closed for the duration of the series to support continuity and a consistent consultation environment.
Do I need to commit to all four group sessions?
Yes. Registration is for the complete four-month series rather than individual drop-in sessions.
The fee is $260 per participant for the full series ($65 per session).
How is client confidentiality protected?
All clinical material discussed during consultation must be appropriately de-identified. Participants are expected to respect confidentiality and their professional and ethical obligations.
Group participants will be asked to agree to shared confidentiality expectations before participating.
How do I inquire about availability?
Send an email indicating whether you're interested in individual consultation or an upcoming group series. I'll respond with information about availability and next steps.
