CLINICAL CONSULTATION AND SUPERVISION SERVICES

I’m Cleo Haber, RSW, founder and clinical director of North Star Therapy.  I provide clinical consultation for Registered Social Workers and Registered Psychotherapists; and provide supervision for Qualifying Registered Psychotherapists.  I offer both small group and individual consultation services.  I completed a 30 hour course and hold a certificate in Clinical Supervision which meets the requirements of the CRPO.

In my view, the core aspect of meaningful clinical consultation involves the chance to reflect on one's own methods, seek input from others, and develop a more accurate self-assessment. This process entails open dialogue, a readiness to deeply consider one's practices, and being receptive to both challenging and supportive feedback.

As we engage with individuals grappling with human suffering daily, we become attuned to the anguish, disappointment, and anxiety they carry. To effectively carry out our responsibilities, it's essential to remain grounded, hopeful, and focused. By integrating a commitment to personal well-being with professional support through clinical consultation, we move closer to achieving the balance we aspire to.

I practice from an integrative approach with a focus on attachment based psychotherapies and process experiential therapy including Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT),  Emotion Focused Mindfulness Therapy (EFMT), and  Interpersonal Therapy (IPT).  I have trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and incorporate schema work into my treatment with clients.  I always aim to work from a trauma informed and anti-oppressive framework.

I have over 20 years of clinical social work experience and have supervised Masters level social work students.  For many years I taught a psychotherapy course to University of Toronto Family Medicine Residents focusing on CBT, IPT and achieving psychotherapy effectiveness. I continue to teach professional development workshops on Integrating Evidence-Based Practices into Time-Limited psychotherapy. 

If you are interested in clinical consultation or supervision or have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.  I’d love to work with you and support you as you grow in your practice!
