Personalized strategies for success

Expert insights

Our professional consulting comes from a licensed professional counselor who has a PhD in counselor education and is a board-approved supervisor, a nationally certified counselor, and a tenured university professor with decades of experience and expertise.

From workplace conflicts to job dissatisfaction, professional hurdles can be overwhelming to face on your own. That’s why we offer tools and strategies to manage these challenges effectively, empowering you to successfully navigate obstacles with confidence.

“For senior clinicians, acknowledging what we don't know and seeking help can be uniquely difficult, often accompanied by feelings of isolation or shame. I was in that exact position – an experienced, PhD level clinician, licensed in multiple states, yet feeling exhausted and deskilled. Turning to Dr. Bacon for consultation was the best professional step I could have taken. Her exceptional knowledge is matched by her kindness, professionalism, and generosity. She provided a containing, ethical relationship within which I gained invaluable insights, shifted my perspective, and accessed resources that revitalized my work. Dr. Bacon is an outstanding resource for experienced practitioners.”
