Business MASTERMIND & Clinical CONSULTATION GROUP
You’re the therapist other therapists send their chronically ill clients to. But who do you send yourself to?
Get the clinical support and peer community you need to navigate complex chronic illness cases, make better decisions for your clients, and feel less alone in this work.
You've sat in the wrong consultation groups before.
You were looking for case conceptualization and fresh perspectives, but because they weren’t tailored to chronic illness work, the advice fell flat.
You’d finish a long day of serving clients only to log on and sit with 8 other therapists whose clients looked nothing like yours.
You'd share that you were worried you weren't doing enough to help a client fight a healthcare system that keeps failing them, and someone would remind you not to work harder than your clients.
As if your client had the energy left to fight it alone, or as if advocacy wasn’t a part of your ethical code.
You’d open up about your worries that you’re not doing enough to help these clients navigate our broken healthcare system, and you were met with “don’t work harder than your clients.”
As you presented your cases, you were asked incredibly dismissive questions like
“but their doctors said their labs are normal”
“how do you know they’re not malingering?”
"maybe they're getting something out of being sick."
"have they tried going gluten-free?"
"is it possible it's all psychosomatic?"
So you stopped bringing your hardest cases and started carrying them alone.
Imagine ending every week feeling supported instead of drained.
The community that will change how you practice forever.
End the second-guessing.
You know your clients are complex. You're not undertrained — you're underresourced. Structured consultation helps you trust your clinical instincts, identify blind spots, and move forward with your hardest cases with more confidence.
CE and resources built specifically for this population.
Stop spending hours hunting for evidence-based approaches and hoping they translate. Should I train in IFS? Somatic Experiencing? Pain Reprocessing Therapy? Something else? Everything here is designed specifically for chronic illness work, so you can implement immediately.
Colleagues who don't need the backstory.
You won't spend half the consultation explaining why this case doesn't fit the standard model. The people in this room already know. That's the whole point.
Your clients are complex. Your consultation should match.
Peer learning with clinicians who actually work with this population means you stop translating your cases for people who don't get it — and start getting real insight on your most challenging work.
What we actually believe
Grad school didn't prepare you for this population. That's not meant as a criticism; it's just true. Chronic illness care is learned in the therapy or clinic room, in the chart, in the consult that runs long because the case is genuinely complicated.
This group takes evidence-based practice seriously. It also takes seriously the fact that most of that evidence was built on populations that look nothing like the people we're treating.
Lived experience is clinical data. The science has limits. Both things can be (and are) true.
We're multidisciplinary by design — because chronic illness doesn't stay in one lane and neither can we if we want to be successful with our clients.

I, Destiny Davis LPC CRC, have a Master’s of Science in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling.
It’s so much more than a counseling degree. Rehab therapists are disability and systems therapists.
When I say I specialize in chronic illness, I don’t just mean it’s an interesting topic to me.
As a CRC, I was trained to understand the whole person in context. This includes the medical, psychological, vocational, social, and environmental factors that shape someone's life with disability or chronic illness. Most mental health training stops at the psychological, leaving our clients drastically underserved.
This has provided me with a foundation of:
Medical fluency. I was trained to read diagnostic reports, understand functional limitations, and collaborate with physicians, OTs, PTs, and specialists.
Disability as identity and culture. Rehab counseling programs are grounded in Disability Studies frameworks, not deficit models. Disability Justice is baked into this work.
Vocational and functional impact. I understand how illness affects someone's ability to work, pursue roles, and maintain identity — a dimension most therapists completely miss when working with chronically ill clients.
Systems navigation. Vocational Rehabilitation systems, SSI/SSDI, ADA accommodations, and navigating insurance (especially in today’s world) is critical to this work
The CRC credential. The Certified Rehabilitation Counselor is a nationally recognized specialty credential. It signals postgraduate clinical competency in a specialized field (disability counseling)
Additionally:
Through Year 2 of Somatic Experience with Somatic Experiencing International
Extensive training and clinical consultation in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy since 2014.
-
Meets twice a month (1st and 3rd Wednesday from 1-2pm EST)
Each class focuses on one specific intervention you can use with clients that week
Drawn from ACT, somatic work, and mindfulness-based approaches adapted for chronic illness without leaving your client feeling gaslit
Less lecture, more practice: we walk through the skill, try it, and talk about when it fits and when it doesn't
Built to close the gap between "I read about this technique" and "I know how to use it in session"
-
A 2-hour call once a month, live on Zoom
Bring your cases for discussion, or come to listen and learn from others
Topics members bring: theory and modality discussions; case conceptualization for complex; misunderstood, or contested diagnoses, countertransference; pacing sessions for clients with energy-limiting conditions; holding space for grief that doesn't resolve; resources for specific conditions
Input from Destiny and from clinicians who work with chronically ill clients every day, so nobody needs a 20-minute explanation of why your client can't just "push through"
Come late, leave early, no RSVP needed
-
A 2-hour call once a month, focused on the business side of this work
Bring questions about building a private-pay practice, marketing to chronically ill clients without cure-narrative territory, pricing, niching, speaking, social media, podcasting, and passion projects
Space to talk about preventing your own burnout while serving a high-needs population
Part strategy session, part reality check from people who run practices like yours
Come late, leave early, no RSVP
