Do I need a referral to begin therapy or testing?

No referral is needed to begin therapy or testing. For testing, a referral from a therapist, primary care provider, or another clinician is preferred. Self-referrals are accepted, but having a referral can allow for better collaboration, access to relevant records, and a more efficient and informed testing process overall.

Do you offer therapy and testing together?

Therapy and testing are only offered together in one direction: testing first, followed by therapy, depending on availability. If Dr. Schofield is already providing therapy, testing is referred out to ensure the evaluation remains objective.

Is therapy weekly, biweekly, or flexible?

There is no set schedule. The therapy cadence is determined based on the client’s needs, capacity, and goals. Sessions are typically 60 minutes and can be spaced based on what is clinically useful and sustainable.

Professional consultation is designed for licensed clinicians and early-career professionals seeking clear, experienced input while also cultivating a group of seasoned peers to grow alongside.

No. These are consultation services and do not count toward licensure requirements.

Can I do both group and individual consultation?

Yes. Many clinicians use 1:1 sessions for focused support and join the group for ongoing connection.

How do I know if the group is right for me?

If you are in private practice and want steady professional input, skill-building, and connection with peers, this group may be a great fit.

1:1 consultation is $200 per hour. Group consultation is a monthly membership, with the rate to be announced.

Are sessions virtual?

Yes. All sessions are held via secure video and are accessible from anywhere.

Will there be a waitlist?

Yes. Group size is limited. An interest list and waitlist will help manage enrollment as spots open.
