Organizational Wellness Consulting
Help thinking about what your organization is actually carrying.
Clinically informed consulting for leaders and HR professionals navigating specific situations, not a productized program.
What this is
Most organizational wellness offerings are products. A wellness app subscription. A series of webinars. An EAP with a session cap. A fixed curriculum that gets delivered the same way regardless of what your organization is actually carrying.
This is not that.
This is consulting. The work starts with the specific situation you are dealing with, not with a package I am selling. You tell me what is happening, what you have already tried, and what you are trying to figure out. I bring clinical attention to it. We work out what would actually help, and at what level.
The discipline underneath is the same discipline I use in clinical work. The attention to what is actually happening rather than what is assumed. The attention to what current patterns are protecting. The willingness to name what is hard to name. Applied to an organization instead of an individual.
When this kind of consulting is useful
The most common entry points are one of two situations.
Something specific has happened. A loss in the workplace. A difficult event. A leadership transition that has rippled through the team. A layoff that the people who remain are still processing. A crisis that the standard protocols did not fully address. In these cases, you need help thinking about how to support people through the actual situation, in ways that are real rather than performative.
Something is not adding up. Turnover in a specific role that does not match the rest of the organization. Burnout across a team that has not responded to the usual interventions. A culture pattern that everyone can feel but no one can quite name. A communication problem that keeps showing up in different forms. In these cases, you need help understanding what is actually going on at a level deeper than the surface symptoms.
In both situations, the question is not what wellness program to buy. The question is what is actually happening, and what kind of support would match what is actually happening.
How I think about this work
I bring the same clinical orientation to organizational work that I bring to individual work. This means a few things in practice.
I ask real questions before I make recommendations. Who is in the system? What is the actual situation, including the parts that are not on the org chart? What have you already tried, and what has not worked? What does leadership think the problem is, and what might be true that leadership has not been able to name? The recommendations come from those answers, not from a stock framework I am applying.
I take organizations seriously as systems. An organization with a culture of overwork is not solved by giving individual employees meditation apps. An organization with a leadership communication problem is not solved by sending people to therapy. The intervention has to match the level of the problem, and a lot of organizational wellness work has been pitched at the wrong level.
I bring clinical substance without requiring you to learn clinical vocabulary. The frameworks underneath are real (nervous system attunement, the realities of grief and crisis response, attention to what is sustainable versus what is not), but I will not lecture you in jargon. The language we use is the language of your actual situation.
I do not provide ongoing therapy to employees of organizations I consult with. The roles do not mix cleanly. I consult with leadership or HR about the organization's situation. If individuals on your team need clinical care, I refer them to therapists they can work with directly.
I work within my scope. I am a licensed therapist. The consulting I do draws from clinical training and clinical experience. It is not a substitute for HR expertise, legal counsel, organizational development consulting, or executive coaching, and I will tell you directly when something is outside what I can ethically provide.
What this can look like in practice
The shape of the work depends on the situation.
Single-session consultation. You have a specific question or situation and you need a focused conversation with someone who can bring clinical attention to it. Often the most useful starting point. Sometimes the only thing that is needed.
Short engagement. A few sessions over a few weeks, working through a specific situation as it unfolds. Useful for crisis response, a difficult transition, or a situation that needs sustained attention rather than a single conversation.
Longer engagement. Several months of regular consultation, working with leadership or HR on a pattern that needs sustained attention. Useful when the situation is complex or when the work involves shifts that take time.
Specific event support. Crisis response after a loss, a workplace incident, or a difficult event. The work is to help leadership think through how to support the people affected, in ways that match the actual situation.
The format is built around what you need, not around a fixed package.
Who this fits
This kind of consulting tends to fit organizations that:
Have a specific situation they are working through and need clinical attention to it rather than a generic wellness solution.
Have already tried the standard interventions and want to think more carefully about what is actually going on.
Value clinical substance over slick presentation, and are comfortable working with someone who will tell them what they are not seeing.
Want to do this work seriously rather than performatively, even if seriously means smaller in scope.
If this matches what you are looking for, get in touch. If you are looking for a productized wellness program, there are vendors who do that work well, and I am happy to point you toward them.
Have a situation you would like to talk through?
Get in touch and tell me what is happening. The first conversation is a chance to figure out whether this is a fit and what the work could look like. Rates are scaled to the engagement and discussed once we know what you need.
