Business MASTERMIND & Clinical CONSULTATION GROUP
The Chronic Illness Therapist Collective
CE, Consultation & Community for Specialists
You built a specialty most clinicians don't understand.
Now build it with people who do.
Running since June 2022
You didn't stumble into chronic illness work.
You chose it… probably because you saw how badly this population was being underserved, undertreated, and misunderstood.
And then you looked around for colleagues who got it.
Generic consultation groups weren't cutting it. The advice didn't translate. The frameworks didn't fit. And explaining the complexity of your clients to someone who's never worked with this population got old fast.
The Chronic Illness Therapists Collective exists because this specialty is too demanding and too important to navigate alone.
Why join a Chronic Illness Therapist Mastermind?
End the second-guessing.
You know your clients are complex. You're not undertrained — you're underresourced. Structured consultation helps you trust your clinical instincts, identify blind spots, and move forward with your hardest cases with more confidence.
CE and resources built specifically for this population.
Stop spending hours hunting for evidence-based approaches and hoping they translate. Should I train in IFS? Somatic Experiencing? Pain Reprocessing Therapy? Something else? Everything here is designed specifically for chronic illness work, so you can implement immediately.
Colleagues who don't need the backstory.
You won't spend half the consultation explaining why this case doesn't fit the standard model. The people in this room already know. That's the whole point.
Your clients are complex. Your consultation should match.
Peer learning with clinicians who actually work with this population means you stop translating your cases for people who don't get it — and start getting real insight on your most challenging work.
What we actually believe
Grad school didn't prepare you for this population. That's not meant as a criticism; it's just true. Chronic illness care is learned in the therapy or clinic room, in the chart, in the consult that runs long because the case is genuinely complicated.
This group takes evidence-based practice seriously. It also takes seriously the fact that most of that evidence was built on populations that look nothing like the people we're treating.
Lived experience is clinical data. The science has limits. Both things can be (and are) true.
We're multidisciplinary by design — because chronic illness doesn't stay in one lane and neither can we if we want to be successful with our clients.

I, Destiny Davis LPC CRC, have a Master’s of Science in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling.
It’s so much more than a counseling degree. Rehab therapists are disability and systems therapists.
When I say I specialize in chronic illness, I don’t just mean it’s an interesting topic to me.
As a CRC, I was trained to understand the whole person in context. This includes the medical, psychological, vocational, social, and environmental factors that shape someone's life with disability or chronic illness. Most mental health training stops at the psychological, leaving our clients drastically underserved.
This has provided me with a foundation of:
Medical fluency. I was trained to read diagnostic reports, understand functional limitations, and collaborate with physicians, OTs, PTs, and specialists.
Disability as identity and culture. Rehab counseling programs are grounded in Disability Studies frameworks, not deficit models. Disability Justice is baked into this work.
Vocational and functional impact. I understand how illness affects someone's ability to work, pursue roles, and maintain identity — a dimension most therapists completely miss when working with chronically ill clients.
Systems navigation. Vocational Rehabilitation systems, SSI/SSDI, ADA accommodations, and navigating insurance (especially in today’s world) is critical to this work
The CRC credential. The Certified Rehabilitation Counselor is a nationally recognized specialty credential. It signals postgraduate clinical competency in a specialized field (disability counseling)
I have also trained through the end of Year 2 with Somatic Experiencing International.

We meet every third Friday of the month from 1-3pm EST for clinical consultation. Bring your most complex cases, questions about theory and practice, and other practice dilemmas with which you’re seeking support.
We meet every first Friday of the month from 1-3pm EST for business development. This is for therapists who work with chronically ill clients to develop their private practice marketing skills or side projects in an effort to build additional streams of income. As a chronically ill therapist myself, I know how important it is to not need to rely on one source of income.
We also meet every 1st and 3rd Wednesday from 1-2pm EST for skills work. This is a time to practice the skills in our group so you can bring them to your clients with confidence. The skills we practice are typically Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Somatic in nature and are all adapted to meet the needs of chronically ill clients.
