CONSULTING + PSYCHOEDUCATION
I am available to work with you as an external consultant, speaker or contributor to provide:
Psychological consultation for women
Psychological navigation through the separation/divorce process
Psychologically informed feedback on fictional works in progress
CONSULTING:
Consulting on women’s psychological wellbeing
I offer a la carte psychological consultation sessions specifically for women at Lume Women + Health, a private women’s health clinic. Consultations are 60 minutes in length, and typically focus on helping women navigate particular concerns by providing psychologically informed insight, information, advice, and strategies/tools.
Consultations can also help connect women with referrals for therapy if this is indicated and desired. I have a special interest in helping women in midlife deal with the psychological complexities of this stage, including the impact of both expected and unexpected life transitions (e.g., peri/menopause, separation/divorce, career, empty nesting, etc). I am passionate about helping women feel seen, heard, and freed-up from emotional burden, and view midlife as an opportunity for women to confidently lean into their most authentic selves and embrace what allows them to thrive.
CONSULTING:
Consultation on navigating the separation/divorce process
I have both personal and professional experience helping people navigate the separation/divorce process from a psychological lens.
I provide consultation to:
People who themselves are going through the process, who would like help to navigate the psychological complexities they encounter throughout its various stages, and
Professionals who are trying to help them. For example, lawyers and mediators who would like consultation on psychological strategy to assist their clients; mental health professionals who do not have experience with the legal aspects of the separation/divorce process and would like consultation to better assist their clients as they move through it.
CONSULTING:
Consultation on fictional works in progress
"I consulted Dr. Kristine Laderoute on drafts of my novels regarding the psychological integrity of the characters, including their mindsets and behaviours. Dr. Laderoute gave hugely valuable feedback that helped to inform my revisions—she was thoughtful, insightful, engaged, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her services as a consultant on works in progress."
— Ashley Audrain,
New York Times bestselling author of THE PUSH
I love consulting on fictional works in progress and feel honoured to be part of a writer’s process. In this capacity, I help writers fine-tune the psychological integrity of their work by reviewing and providing psychologically informed feedback on their manuscripts. This feedback can help writers strengthen their stories by helping to:
connect them with their deepest intention for their story
more clearly define and understand the psychological framework of their story
expand the psychological depth of their characters/story
enhance the emotional grip/repel of their characters on the reader
clear any psychological stuck points in their written work
PSYCHOEDUCATION:
Workshops + Speaking + Writing
I provide psychoeducation to the community on topics of a psychological nature that are within my scope of practice. Psychoeducation is offered through workshops, speaking engagements (e.g., podcasts, lunch and learn, seminars, webinars, private group talks), or freelance writing contributions.
Topics that I enjoy speaking and writing about include anxiety, maladaptive perfectionism, women’s issues, wellness, separation/divorce, emotional support for parents, and dealing with narcissistic others, to name a few.
Contact me to learn more about how I might contribute to the psychological education of your group or audience.
