    Consultation with an SPI Approved Consultant​​​​​​​ 

    Students are required to complete 3 hours of individual or group consultation.
    These hours are designed to enrich your learning in ways that the classroom alone may not, providing space for individualized guidance, integration of course material, and deeper support in applying SP to your practice.

    💡 Note: Consultation fees are not included in tuition.
    Here's a general estimate of typical costs (actual rates may vary by consultant):
    • Group consultation: $20–$80 per hour
    • Individual consultation: $120–$250 per hour
    ​​​​​​​
    You may choose any Approved Consultant, Consultant Intern, or SP Trainer. Consider factors like location, time zone, practice focus, client population, goals, format (in-person or Telehealth), and fees. All are trained to support your integration of SP into clinical practice.
