You don’t have to know it all to be a great therapist.
Practical training, clinical consultation, and real-world support for the moments grad school didn’t fully prepare you for.
For Therapists: We help build the confidence, clinical judgment, and practical skills to navigate complex cases with greater clarity—through CE trainings, consultation, and EMDR support.
For Group Practice Owners: We help build a stronger, more confident clinical team through ongoing training, consultation, and clinician-development strategy—so your therapists feel supported, your supervisors have backup, and you have more space to lead your practice.
WHY TRUST CONFIDENT CLINICIAN?
REAL-WORLD EXPERIENCE
Backed by 15+ years of diverse clinical experience, our trainings focus on practical application—not abstract theory. We bridge the gap between what therapists learn and what actually happens in the room, giving clinicians tools they can use right away.
SUPPORTIVE LEARNING THAT BUILDS CONFIDENCE
You should be able to ask questions without feeling judged or wondering whether you “should already know.” Learning happens best when clinicians feel safe enough to be curious.
PRACTICAL SKILLS YOU CAN USE RIGHT AWAY
Walk away knowing what to say, what to document, when to ask for help, and how to approach difficult clinical decisions with greater confidence.

Owner of East Bay Art Therapy
"Heather's knowledge and expertise makes her an incredible trainer. I highly recommend her and I look forward to hopefully bringing her back for a training on another topic!"
Debora Ribas-Santos, LCSW
Owner of Lighthouse Therapeutic Services
"Can’t recommend Heather enough! I’ve taken a couple of trainings with her and loved them so much that I sent my associates to take her trainings as well. She’s kind, compassionate and incredibly knowledgeable."
Anna Sasser-Christian, LMFT
Owner of Little Dove Counseling
"Heather created amazing resources and presented them in a clear and memorable way for our team. The whole team was able to apply the principles immediately. Our team independently decided to create binders of the resources Heather provided to keep on hand when safety needs arise in the therapy room. We are so grateful for Heather and her skilled ability to help us navigate such a sensitive and complex topic."
Sandra Stokes, LICSW
Lead Clinical Supervisor
"Heather is kind and sincere and, mostly, I appreciate her commitment to helping people feel better about who they are and how they show up in the world. Heather is incredibly knowledgeable and I have appreciated learning more about how to assess and address suicidality in adolescents. Self improvement and mental health and wellness can be very difficult to understand and treat well, and Heather is approachable and nonjudgmental. Thank you for doing what you do!"
What People Are Saying About Us
Clinical Consultation
You don’t have to figure out the complicated cases alone.
Bring the cases that keep you thinking after hours—the risk concerns, ethical questions, family dynamics, boundaries, and moments when you’re just not sure what to do next. Consultation gives you a thoughtful place to slow down, sort through the details, and make a clearer clinical decision.
EMDR Consultation
Move from knowing the protocol to feeling confident using it.
EMDR can feel straightforward in training and much more complicated with real clients. Consultation can help you think through target selection, preparation, blocking beliefs, looping, interweaves, case conceptualization, and the moments when you feel stuck. The goal is to help you use EMDR with more clarity, flexibility, and confidence.
Trainings + CE
Practical training for the moments that actually make clinicians nervous.
Confident Clinician trainings are designed to make complex clinical topics feel clearer, more manageable, and immediately useful. From suicide risk assessment and mandated reporting to boundaries, documentation, and difficult conversations, the focus is always on what to do, what to say, and how to move forward with more confidence.
