The Court-Involved Therapy Consultation Group of Utah

If you are a therapist working with court-involved adults, children, or high-conflict families in Utah, you know how complex, emotionally charged, and polarizing this work can be. This monthly consultation group provides a supportive, collaborative space to strengthen your practice, deepen your expertise, and stay aligned with the best practice guidelines recommended for court-involved clinicians.

Who is this group for?

This consultation group is designed for clinicians who meet all of the following criteria:

• You are a fully licensed therapist with at least two years of post-independent licensure clinical experience.

• You work with court-involved clients—including post-separation families, high-conflict co-parents, intimate partner violence (IPV), or resist/refuse dynamics.

• You provide clinical services to court-involved families through one or more of the following modalities:

  • Family systems / resist-refuse dynamics

  • Co-parenting therapy

  • Individual therapy with adults or children

• You are a Utah-based mental health professional seeking to deepen your skills and ensure your work aligns with best practices in court-involved treatment.

What will we discuss?

Our group discussions will center practical, useful guidance, including:

✔ Best Practice Guidelines for Court-Involved Families

How to operate within established standards with resist-refuse cases, etc.

✔ Staying in Your Lane

Gaining role clarity, avoiding dual relationships and ethical/legal pitfalls.

✔ Attorney Management

Manage communication with parent attorneys, special masters, and other legal professionals in a manner that is consistent with your scope of practice and professional role.

✔ Safeguarding Your Clinical Work

Documentation and risk-management strategies that protect your clinical work—and your license.

What are the benefits of joining?

✔ Learn from Peers and Experts

Discuss challenging cases, clarify questions about your role, and stay updated on clinical and legal standards for court-involved treatment.

✔ Strengthen Your Referral Network

Build connections with other Utah-based therapists who serve high-conflict families, court-involved youth, and post-separation cases.

✔ Staff Challenging Cases

Get perspectives on boundaries, interventions, documentation, and attorney/court interface issues.

✔ Demonstrate Due Diligence

Participation in consultation is a powerful way to show that you practice ethically, seek supervision, and stay aligned with professional guidelines.

Court-involved work (and solo practice generally!) can be isolating. This group offers a place where you can reflect, learn, and stay connected to colleagues who understand the complexities of this work firsthand.
