The Collaborative Consultation Group is made up of early career psychologists. We all work with children and families and have training in various theoretical backgrounds such as Narrative Therapy, Strategic Family Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Structural Therapy, Multidimensional Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Schema Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. We meet monthly on the second weekend of the month (Thursday 7-9, Friday 7-9, Sat 11-1, or Mon 7-9) at various members' homes or offices. Every other month we consult amongst each other and the other months we hire consultants to consult on cases. The group costs $40 every other month to be a member. If you are interested in joining this group, email me at drkeith@drkeithsutton.com or call me at (415) 686-9544.
