I offer consultation, training, content review, and subject-matter expertise on neurodiversity, disability, chronic illness, LGBTQIA+ identities, and nontraditional relationships. My work draws on more than a decade of counseling experience, graduate study in clinical mental health counseling, and lived experience as a queer, nonbinary, and disabled person.
Whether you’re supporting a client, developing educational material, or looking for a speaker or consultant, I can help you approach this work with greater care, accuracy, and practical understanding.
Clinical Consultation
I offer case consultation to mental health professionals who want to provide more affirming, responsive care to clients navigating:
- LGBTQIA+ identities, gender exploration, or transition
- ADHD, autism, masking, or neurodivergent burnout
- Disability, chronic illness, chronic pain, or medical trauma
- Polyamory, kink, and other nontraditional relationship structures
- Internalized ableism, homophobia, or transphobia
Consultation can help you think through a clinical question, recognize how identity and systemic barriers may shape a client’s experience, and consider approaches that better fit their needs and capacity.
Fee: $210 for a 60-minute consultation. A reduced fee may be available depending on the purpose of the consultation and financial need.
Organizational Consultation, Workshops & Presentations
I work with clinical practices, organizations, employee resource groups, and educational teams to strengthen their approach to neurodiversity, disability, and affirming care. Projects may include consultation, accessibility review, presenter consultation, content review, collaborative curriculum development, or a workshop or presentation tailored to your audience.
Workshop and presentation topics include:
- Neurodiversity-affirming psychiatric care
- Masking and neurodivergent burnout
- Supporting disabled and chronically ill patients
- Fluctuating capacity versus “noncompliance”
- Internalized ableism in treatment
- Mindfulness and regulation across neurotypes
- Affirming care for LGBTQIA+ people and people in nontraditional relationships
Presentations can be adapted to the needs, roles, and experience of your audience. Rates for organizational and writing projects depend on scope. Contact me to discuss your goals and request a quote.
Writing, Sensitivity Reading & Expert Contribution
I provide sensitivity reading, content review, interviews, and subject-matter contributions for books, articles, educational materials, and other media. I specialize in representation of queer and transgender people, disabled and chronically ill people, autistic people, and people in nontraditional relationships.
My feedback can help identify stereotypes, gaps, or unintended implications and support work that represents people and communities with greater depth and care. Project fees vary based on the material, scope, and timeline.
My work as a sensitivity reader is informed by:
- My academic background in gender studies, sociology, and psychology
- My professional experience as a licensed therapist
- My personal lived experience as a queer, non-binary, sex-positive, and disabled person.
Pricing is variable for writing projects, and other consultation services depending on the details of the service(s) requested. For an estimate, please send an email with a description of the work/project to Counseling@AmariahLove.com.
