Individual SE™ Consults

Interested in completing consultations for credit hours with the SE™ training program? You’re in the right place!

Sarah is approved to provide credited individual case consultations to students at the Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced levels of the SE™ training. She is also approved to provide small group consultations to Beginning level SE™ students.

Individual case consultations generally last an hour; in some cases, consults can last for 75 min, 90 min, or 2 hours, pending availability and pro-rated to the length of the consult. For the consultations to count towards credit hours in the SE™ training program, the consultations may focus on the topics and integration subjects outlined on the main Consulting page, with the following intentions in mind:

  • The application of SE™ within your scope of practice, with your client base
  • SE™ concepts and general questions about the practical application of the SE™ method
  • Understanding your own counter-transference as a professional via an SE™ lens
  • Ethical considerations and dilemmas via an SE™ lens

Note:

  • Sarah is also approved to provide personal sessions to students at all levels of SE™ training.
  • Personal sessions are not psychotherapy and are offered for educational purposes to support student learning and integration.
  • SE™ students may book personal sessions and/or consultations with Sarah as needed, provided they have not yet been granted their SEP designation. After obtaining the SEP designation, Sarah is able to continue to provide clinical consultations, but may no longer be able to provide personal sessions if she is not licensed to provide psychotherapy in the person’s jurisdiction.
  • Counter-transference towards clients can either be explored in a personal session or a consultation.

Scheduling an individual consultation for SE™ credit:

  1. Please review the main Consulting landing page, which has a general overview about consultations, topics and areas of integration, and how to prepare for the consultation.
  2. Please contact Jennifer Matz at [email protected] to go over service forms and policies, payment options, and to select appointment times.
  3. Jennifer will set you up in Owl Practice, our practice management software, and will provide you with instructions on how to create a profile so that you can log in and access the appointment via Owl Video. Please ensure that you have set up your Owl account at least 3 business days before your appointment so that we can finish associating your profile in advance. We are unable to assist you with tech-related issues at the last moment.
  4. You will receive an email reminder 72 hours before the appointment, and a text message reminder 2 hours prior to the appointment (if you provide a cell phone number).
  5. At your appointment time, you will log into your Owl Practice account and click the button to join the video call. We recommend that you save your password for easy access and that you are set up in advance so that the call can unfold smoothly.

Rates: As of September 1, 2024, Sarah’s rate is $200 CAD/hr, plus tax for Canadian residents. A sliding scale may be available in cases of financial limitation, in particular due to economic disparities due to marginalization. We ask that consultees who request a sliding scale review the sliding scale categories described here and let us know where they land in terms of the scale. Students who have received a scholarship via SEI receive a rate of $140 CAD/hr of individual case consultation (approximately $100 USD, pending the exchange rate), as per SEI policy, plus tax for Canadian residents.

Cancellations: There is no penalty for cancelling your appointment with at least 48 hours’ notice. Students will be billed the full rate of the appointment if cancelling within 48 hours from the appointment time or for missed appointments. Cancellation or missed appointment fees will be waived on compassionate grounds, such as in the event of sickness, a medical emergency requiring urgent treatment or intervention, or a death in the family. Cancellation or missed appointment fees will also be waived if we are able to reschedule your appointment within the same week.

Log sheets:

  • Personal sessions and individual case consultations: For ease of effort, students will document their hours on their log sheet (or via electronic methods used for this purpose) and submit these to Sarah for signature when they have completed the number of appointments they intend to have with Sarah, if they intend to book multiple appointments. This way, signatures can be provided all at once as opposed to multiple separate occasions.
  • Small group consultations: Students will document their hours on their log sheet (or via electronic methods used for this purpose) and submit these to Sarah for signature following the small group consultation. *Large group consultations do not count towards credit hour requirements.
  • Timeframe: Due to the volume of emails received, it may take up to two (2) weeks for log sheets to be signed and sent back. If you have not gotten a response within this timeframe, please reach out to [email protected] in case your email was not received or there were any extenuating circumstances creating delays.
