Sharper clinical thinking for the cases that follow you home
Alex McEntire has spent more than two decades in clinical practice, including trauma and EMDR work, and over 20 years teaching psychology at the university level. He brings both perspectives to consultation, helping therapists understand what may be happening in a difficult case and why a particular next step makes sense.
Based in Kansas City, Missouri, and Lawrence, Kansas. Consultation available in person and virtually.
What do you do when you know the theory and the client still doesn’t make sense?
You can know the protocol, understand the diagnosis, and still reach a point where the usual answers stop fitting the person in front of you. That is often where consultation becomes most useful.
With more than two decades in clinical practice and over 20 years teaching psychology, Alex helps clinicians untangle what may be driving the impasse, weigh the possibilities, and understand why one direction may make more sense than another. You leave seeing the work differently.
Sort Through What’s Competing
When several explanations seem plausible, consultation helps you separate what may be central from what may be secondary so you can focus on what deserves your attention now.
Decide What Makes Sense Next
Rather than reaching automatically for another technique, you can work through the options, what each one assumes, and what this particular client may need from you.
Take the Reasoning With You
Alex teaches as he consults. You leave understanding the thinking behind the decision, so the work helps with the client in front of you and strengthens how you approach the next difficult one.
Ways to work with Alex
The work changes. So does the kind of support you need.
Early in your career, you may need expert guidance as you learn to make clinical decisions. Later, you may need consultation on a difficult client, guidance toward EMDR certification, or deeper training in a practice area. And sometimes the goal is to bring that kind of learning to an entire team or professional audience.
Alex works with clinicians across those different points through consultation, licensure supervision, and continuing education.
Clinical & EMDR Consultation
Bring the client, question, or clinical situation you keep turning over in your mind. Alex offers individual consultation for complex cases, trauma, dissociation, OCD, EMDR, and other situations where the usual answer is not obvious.
EMDR consultation is also available for clinicians working toward EMDRIA certification.
Explore Consultation →Licensure Supervision
For pre-licensed counselors in Missouri and Kansas who want supervision to do more than satisfy a requirement. Work through real clinical decisions, ethical questions, and the challenges that come with becoming increasingly independent in your practice.
Explore Supervision →Speaking & Continuing Education
Bring Alex to your organization, conference, or training event for practical, research-informed education on EMDR, trauma, dissociation, OCD, and related clinical topics, taught by someone who knows how to make complicated material useful in the therapy room.
