Collaborative Support for Therapists Holding Complex Work
CLINICAL CONSULTATIONS
Working with complex trauma, dissociation, attachment wounds, and embodied survival responses can bring clinical, ethical, and relational complexity into the therapy room. At Holding Space Therapy, we offer collaborative professional consultation to help clinicians deepen their trauma-informed lens, strengthen clinical confidence, and feel more supported in the nuance of this work.
A Thoughtful Approach to Clinical Consultation
Oftentimes trauma is misdiagnosed or under-diagnosed among the mental health community. At HST, experienced therapist Alein Haddad-Perez offers opportunities for fellow clinicians to refine their knowledge of trauma and, in particular, complex developmental trauma and dissociations. Her teaching approach follows HST’s therapeutic philosophy while emphasizing the creation of safety in the learning environment.
On Alein’s decolonized perspective:
“I recognize the intersectionality of power imbalances within racial and colonial structures, acknowledging the historical and systemic influences on the mental health profession. I am committed to fostering cultural humility through lifelong learning and self-reflection, aiming to deepen my awareness of systemic oppression, inequity, and cultural diversity in mental health education.”

MEET YOUR CONSULTANT
I work with therapists who, despite being well-versed in their treatment modalities, find that they eventually stagnate with their clients' progress. My approach focuses on enriching the clinical understanding of trauma, complex developmental trauma, attachment injuries, and dissociation. With these deeper insights, therapists will be better equipped to identify and address your clients’ symptoms effectively.
