Caring for others starts with care and support for yourself.
Consultation supports you in complex clinical case conceptualization, skill development and application, ethical decision-making, and helps you practice with confidence and presence.
If you are a licensed counselor, therapist, social worker, music therapist, or allied clinician
and have Ever Felt…
You may be holding more than you let others see — questioning decisions, revisiting sessions, or carrying the weight of responsibility without a place to process it.
Consultation is for you.
Being a mental health professional has challenges at every stage of our career. Many clinicians feel isolated in their work — expected to hold others’ emotions with expertise while rarely having space for their own reflection, guidance, or ethical support.
Professional consultation honors your clinical intuition, supports you in ethical complexity, and helps you practice with confidence and presence.
Grounded in Experience, Guided by Integrity
The first step in being a high level, quality provider, is having support for yourself. That is why Dalena offers her 34 years of experience as a board certified music therapist, licensed professional counselor, advanced training in trauma and expressive arts therapy, and her work in institutions, agencies, keynote speaking and continuing education courses, and 20+ years of private practice to support you in your career.
Through individual or small group consulting you can gain the clinical skills, support, ethical decision-making skills, and guidance to serve your clients with the confidence and efficiency they deserve.
All of this happens in a non-judgemental space with respectful collaboration, education and guidance.

Please reach Dalena at dalena@dalenawatson.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Dalena will have a brief discussion with you to clarify your specific issues and be certain we are a good fit.
You can then schedule in her online calendar (register as "a new client") and choose your time (displayed in MST) and service: professional consultation 25 min or 50-55 min.
Dalena will confirm your appointment time and send a short questionnaire to guide us in the consultation and a consent for professional consultation.
You will be sent a link to join by video for the appointment.
Sessions are conversational, reflective, and grounded in real clinical application — offering both space to think and practical direction you can use immediately.
