For Therapists & Professionals

CONTACT ME

I provide individual and group consultations for couples therapists and hypnosis. Consultation is all about self-care for professionals. Our work with our clients can be isolating, so it's important to have another professional to help you work through issues and approaches... or just offer support.

Professional Services

Hypnosis Training & Supervision

Hypnosis in a clinical setting as part of overall therapy is fast becoming more popular—because it gets results. Best of all, you can teach your clients to use it independently in their daily lives to support and continue the work you do with them in person.

If you haven't used hypnosis in your practice in the past or are just developing a need for it, I can provide you with training and support. I teach hypnosis for clinicians through the Erickson Foundation and independently worldwide, and can help you use it as a powerful tool in dealing with your clients' habit control, addictions, and more.

Workshops & Groups

Clinical groups are one of the best supports available to therapists. They allow professionals to discuss cases, expand their knowledge about a theme or topic, offer demonstrations and exercises.

I regularly offer consultation for small groups who meet once a month around topics and processes determined by the group. Larger groups generally run for two hours monthly. The content is determined by the needs of the group, and over time clinicians have found them to be a vital support in their practices.

Since 1993 I've been working with professionals about hypnosis, Ericksonian therapy, general psychotherapy, and couples therapy as well as advanced techniques in all these areas.

I also offer half-day, one-day, and intensive workshops for clinicians that will help you take a fresh approach to your work. I'm available to speak to groups and at professional meetings, virtually or in-person.

Clinicians often leave my groups with new ideas, having been given room to breathe, finding new perspectives and ways to develop and learn.

Clinical Consultation

Therapists most often work in isolation, and frequently ask themselves questions about specific clients and approaches. Clinical consultation allows you to discuss cases in confidentiality, brainstorm solutions to problems and issues, ask questions, even share anecdotes. It allows you to feel seen and gives you additional confidence in your practice.

I supervise and consult with all levels of expertise, from beginners to advanced professionals in therapy and hypnosis. You may just want a one-time consult to work through a tricky problem or gain more information about a given topic. On the other hand, many therapists find that regular consultation keeps them balanced and gives them fresh ideas.

Her skill, expertise, and personability make her a phenomenal therapist, and working with her is an absolute privilege. This valley is lucky to have such an authentic, effective therapist in its midst.

  • Lilian Borges is a highly skilled therapist who brings a myriad of skills to her private practice. Lilian has always made me feel comfortable even when working on delicate issues. Lilian’s creativity as a clinician has helped me achieve my therapeutic goals. The work I have done with Lilian has been life changing. Her talents using Ericksonian hypnosis are in a class of their own. I recommend Lilian to anyone seeking therapy in a creative and safe environment.

    -Suzan Patalano

  • I’ve been fortunate to have Lilian help me navigate several big life transitions, always with her compassion, creativity, authenticity, and very diverse set of therapeutic skills. What I value most in my work with her is how she has guided me to tap into my inner wisdom and to work with my higher self in very practical ways. This adds a dimension to therapy that goes beyond just problem-solving and situational solutions, although she is great at those things, too! This practice, and the relationship with myself that I’ve developed with her help, is enduring and essential to the trust I feel to move forward in life.

Process

I can do consultation for groups or even just for two or three professionals. I always adapt content to the needs of the group. We generally meet monthly for one or two hours at a time.

The fee is incremental depending on the size of the group; please inquire for more information.

Groups discuss cases, expand their knowledge about a given theme or topic (in particular working with couples or hypnosis), do exercises; much of the process depends on the group's level(s) of experience. 

Individual supervision is done virtually or in-person and I supervise every level of expertise, from beginners to advances students of hypnosis or couples work.

I also work with other professionals looking to understand more about the field, and offer trainings to organizations that want to learn more about hypnosis workshops, presentations, conferences, and so on.
