You Are Invited to Join The Peer Reviewed Counselor
The Peer Reviewed Counselor is an organization that assists mental health therapists with managing groups where counselors provide and gain feedback over shared recorded therapy sessions. Counselors involved in these groups develop through direct observation of each other’s work. Creating community, diminishing burnout, and developing therapeutic skills are all ambitions of the Peer Reviewed Counselor. Join us and let’s innovate and grow together.
The Peer Reviewed Counselor is continually developing to meet the needs of mental health counselors and their clients. Members are eligible to receive Continuing Education Units (CE’s) each meeting, though this is not a requirement to participate in the group. CE’s are applicable for CMHC’s, LCSW’s, and LMFT’s practicing in the state of Utah.
BENEFITS OF ATTENDING THE GROUP
- Sharpen therapeutic skills through informed feedback and observation
- Participate in deliberate practice methods
- Collaborate with other Professionals

MEETINGS
- Closed Groups consist of (a maximum of) 6 mental health counselors and are designed to develop based on the demand and availability of group hosts. Groups can meet weekly, every other week, or monthly depending on the development of that particular group. The current group that is running meets every other week for 2 hours. Groups are provided through hosts both in-person and online.
