Consultation Services

Overview

Consultation is an important part of the Consortium for Defense Psychology’s evidence-based psychotherapy (EBP) post-training support. (For a list of upcoming two-day EBP training opportunities, click here.) Through use of CDP consultation services, providers can:

  • Obtain post-training support to promote skills development in EBP treatments (CPT, PE, CBT-SP, and CBT-I)
  • Master EBP practices more quickly
  • Benefit from the collaborative nature of group learning
  • Ask questions and receive feedback on active cases
  • Enhance confidence in EBP practices

EBP Consultation

The Consortium for Defense Psychology offers post-workshop consultation for providers who have completed one of our workshops in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CBT-SP), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), or Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE).

How to obtain an individual Consultation:
Individual consultation calls and email consultation may be available on a case-by-case basis, subject to availability.

Other helpful information:

  •  Each call is led by one or more of our subject matter experts.                
  • Group calls are held on Zoom. The Zoom link is always in the calendar.                
  • Individual calls are held on Zoom, telephone, or email by arrangement with the consultant.                
  • Zoom calls require an audio connection either through your computer microphone, headset, or phone dial-in. Having your camera on is encouraged, but not required.                
  • For group calls, you are not required to have a case to discuss; feel free to listen in as we discuss cases and questions.                
  • While consultation is most effective when received consistently, we know that other demands may take precedence. We encourage you to “drop in” to the group any week that you are available.                
  • Subscribing to our group calendar is optional, but will conveniently notify you if there is ever a change to, or cancellation of, the weekly meeting. If your work-related email/calendar doesn't allow you to subscribe to our Google Calendar, you can still do so on your personal calendar or your phone.                
  • You may remove the calendar at any time. If you can’t attend consultation right now but think you might like to do so in the future, go ahead and complete the steps above. The subscription will add a recurring calendar item to your calendar, but you won’t get any emails about it. You are free to simply attend whenever you can.                
  • Consultation provided by CDP does not constitute clinical supervision as required by licensing boards or for liability purposes. Participation in CDP consultation does not meet requirements set forth by other institutions (such as the VA).
