Ethics Consultations 

Navigating Social Work Ethics with Confidence, Compassion, and Clarity

​

I provide social workers with practical strategies that build confidence and reduce stress through my unique 5 Pillars Model for Navigating the Social Work Ethics Maze (c) (TM).

 

Ethical practice goes beyond rules; it requires integrity, sound judgment, compassion, and staying grounded in your professional values while facing complex situations.

​

With over 30 years of experience supporting social workers, partly shaped by 13 years on the Michigan-NASW Ethics Committee, including time as chair, I offer deep insight and compassionate guidance tailored to your real-world ethical dilemmas.

​

Through individual and group consultations, clinic sessions, and specialized trainings, I help you align your professional decisions with ethical standards while developing clear, practical plans that empower you to act with integrity, protect your license, and reduce anxiety.

Grief Support by Craine Counseling

 

The Clinical Path (Counseling)
Rooted in 30+ years of clincial social work experince
 

Therapy is a collaborative, intentional process built to support your healing, resilience, and personal growth. We work together to explore the challenges you're facing; whether rooted in past experiences, current stressors, or complex emotions; and develop tools that align with your individual strengths, needs, and goals.

​

This approach is grounded in social work values and informed by evidence-based practices, including grief and loss theory, relational and strengths-based frameworks, and bio-individuality (the understanding that your path  is unique to you).

​​

While our work centers on your lived experience, we also recognize the importance of the natural world as a resource for grounding, resilience, and restoration. You’re invited to reconnect with supportive elements like plants, animals, and natural rhythms not as abstractions, but as meaningful allies in your healing process.

​

This therapeutic path acknowledges that this work impacts our internal systems as well as our  relationships between self, others, and the broader world around us.

 

​Therapy often brings deep emotions and long-held patterns to the surface. Having a clinician who is attuned to your needs emotionally, psychologically, and somatically can make all the difference.

​

As your therapist, I bring both clinical expertise and a deeply respectful, attuned presence to our work together.

​

We'll co-create a thoughtful treatment plan that aligns with what matters most to you, and we’ll move at a pace that feels safe and meaningful. Your voice, values, and inner wisdom lead the way.

 

Please note: Clinical therapy services are currently available only to residents of Michigan due to state licensing regulations.
