What services do you offer to members?
The Peer Reviewed Counselor consultation groups provide structured online therapist consultation groups designed to support professional development for mental health counselors. Most groups meet online and consist of up to six practicing therapists, allowing for meaningful collaboration, discussion, and review of recorded therapy sessions (with appropriate client consent).
Through this collaborative consultation model, counselors can strengthen their clinical skills while also building a professional referral network that helps connect clients with trusted therapists when additional services are needed.
Members of the Peer Reviewed Counselor community may also receive Continuing Education (CE) credits for counselors, including:
- General Continuing Education (CE) credits
- Ethics Continuing Education credits
- Suicide intervention Continuing Education credits
Active group members may also be eligible to join the Peer Reviewed Counselor therapist directory, helping potential clients find therapists who participate in peer consultation and ongoing professional development.
For therapists interested in expanding the community, clinicians may also start or host their own Peer Reviewed Counselor consultation group. The Peer Reviewed Counselor provides guidance on how to organize groups and how to offer Continuing Education opportunities for participating therapists.
How does the referral network work?
The Peer Reviewed Counselor referral network connects therapists with other trusted professionals in the mental health field, making it easier to provide seamless client referrals when additional support or specialized care is needed. This collaborative network helps ensure that clients receive comprehensive mental health care tailored to their needs, while also supporting stronger professional relationships among counselors.
Licensed therapists, psychologists, and clinicians actively pursuing licensure are welcome to join our Peer Reviewed Counselor professional community, including our private Facebook group where members can connect, share resources, and discuss clinical topics.
Active consultation group members also gain access to a secure Signal referral chat, where therapists across multiple consultation groups can quickly request or provide referrals to trusted mental health professionals.
Group meetings are also structured to support professional therapist referrals, allowing members to discuss client needs and identify appropriate providers within the network.
Because Peer Reviewed Counselors regularly review recorded therapy sessions and clinical work together, members develop a deeper understanding of each other’s therapeutic approaches and professional strengths. This level of familiarity increases confidence in the quality of care provided by fellow members, making therapists more likely to refer clients to clinicians whose work they have directly observed and trust.
What are the benefits of joining your community?
The Peer Reviewed Counselor consultation groups help therapists strengthen their clinical skills through structured therapist collaboration and peer consultation. By reviewing recorded therapy sessions (with client permission), counselors receive detailed feedback on therapeutic techniques, communication, and clinical interventions from other mental health professionals.
Unlike traditional consultation, which often relies on verbal descriptions of sessions, this peer review process allows counselors to observe real therapeutic interactions and receive more precise, practical feedback. This helps therapists continually refine their approach, expand their clinical perspective, and improve their effectiveness in working with clients.
Participation in a therapist consultation group like the Peer Reviewed Counselor also supports ongoing professional development for counselors, encourages accountability in clinical work, and builds meaningful professional relationships with other therapists.
Through collaboration, peer feedback, and continued learning, counselors are able to grow their skills while providing higher-quality care for the individuals, couples, and families they serve.
