Unlike counseling, consulting does not include the full process of diagnosis, treatment planning, and case management. Consequently, you cannot bill your insurance for consulting.
Consulting at The Phoenix Counseling Collective involves looking at your story and its impact on your present personal physiological & emotional experience and on your relationships. Meeting with a consultant provides you with an expert sounding board who can offer some insight, guidance, curiosity, and a safe place to process without the full spectrum of treatment.
Maybe you don’t really understand the big deal about Emotional Intelligence or you do and you don’t think that you need intensive one on one help, but you want some tools and some growth in this area. Our Leadership Perception Group may be a great option.
All leaders can grow in their effectiveness at being able to read their own internal experience and the “rooms” that they are in. As the leader, others look to you to help them be effective. But, who does the leader have to lean on? Leadership Consulting around EQ can help a leader understand the dynamics of what is going on in his/her organization and be able to process and problem solve in a safe environment.
For other leaders, it has already become painfully clear that they need help. A complaint or a number of complaints may have been filed from staff about a leader’s lack of ability to engage with employees, or a board has taken disciplinary action, or even more painfully a leader has lost his/her job. In all of these situations, there is great deal of benefit to having a safe outside perspective to help you reflect and problem solve how to best respond and react to those who work for you and those you work with in your organization.
Self-awareness and awareness of others are your greatest resources as a leader or entrepreneur. Without the ability to clearly assess what is happening internally with ourselves and the ability to see the interpersonal dynamics at play in our work environment, we can make missteps that can result in costly mistakes both with personnel and our overall organizational strategy, not to mention negatively impact our own personal life. One on one consulting can help a leader explore his or her internal reactions in a confidential forum where he or she can understand what they bring to the interactions at work and how best to act and respond in an effective way.
Psychometric Assessment: After registering, you will receive an online assessment to take. This will give you abase line for your behaviors, motivations, and how you interact with yourself and others.
Day One Deep Dive: This is a 4 hour group time with the facilitators. This first day we will look closely at your assessments, and how they impact you as a leader. We will also learn about the 5 dynamics of Emotional Intelligence and look at how you perform these in your work place.
Weekly Group Sessions:
There will be 5 weeks of 1.5 hour group sessions to revisit each aspect of EQ, and leaders can bring experiences from the week into the group to process and get coaching around real life situations happening for the leader and/or in his or her organization.
This summer course is a collaboration between The Phoenix Counseling Collective and Kutsko Consulting.

• An Group of Assessment to help you better gauge your behaviors, motivations, and how you interact with yourself and others.
• Practical tools and education on neurobiology to help you strengthen EQ and thus be a more effective leader.
• Professional group facilitation by Lauren Marie with Kutsko Consulting and Caleb Mitchell
• Additional add-on option: Confidential, one-on-one session to review the results of your EQ assessment with Lauren Maire with Kutsko Consulting and/or individual EQ Consulting with Caleb.
Our EQ (i.e. self-awareness and awareness of others) can be our most significant resource as leaders.
Without the knowledge of what is happening internally within ourselves and the ability to see the interpersonal dynamics at play in our work environment, we can misstep, causing costly mistakes both with personnel and our overall organizational strategy, not to mention negatively impact our own lives.
But, trying to learn the skill of perception on the job can seem daunting and dangerous. Because for you as the leader, there are few arenas to honestly wrestle with and freely express your most puzzling situations. This working group’s purpose is to provide this very type of confidential environment as well as tools and perspectives to use in your current context.
Building relational rapport and capital with your team and your colleagues is not something that comes quickly or easily. The principles we are studying and implementing take time and effort to grow in. No one goes to the gym one time and gets muscular. There needs to be a consistent effort in the same direction. We hope to jump start you on your path to being a more empathetic and engaging leader who can inspire others to do great things. Your leadership starts with your ability to be connected with your own experience, and we want to help you hone your skill at listening to it.

While therapy and consulting both explore the past and its impact on your present, coaching stays more focused on your present reality and practical strategies for addressing areas you want to make a changes now in order to fulfill a desire for the future. Coaching could focus on your own personal mindset as you encounter transitions in life, building personal awareness as you seek to improve relationships, and developing emotional intelligence in your work with others.
Coaching will explore your story - your emotions, thought patterns, and instincts- however, we engage your story to understand where you want to go rather than how you got where you are. Both therapy and coaching provide help with emotional discomfort and pursuing life goals. The solution sought in therapy is largely to guide the client through a process of healing. Coaching clients will likely “visit” past parts of their story related to their goal, but the focus of the sessions will be on helping you find the solution to problems within yourself and determining action steps for moving forward to create the life you are seeking.
Coaching can be a great option for people who have had therapy and worked through past wounds but would like additional support in getting to where you want to be in your life and relationships. Coaching aims to help those who are already functioning at normal or higher levels but are looking to make progress in a particular area of life - health, work, or relationships.
