Clinical Supervision

Working toward your clinical hours?

Like many social workers and counselors working toward their clinical license, you might not have a qualified supervisor at your job, or they may not have the time for supervision.

You invested time and money into obtaining your master’s degree, and now it’s time to put your knowledge into practice. You realize that you’re responsible for clients’ well-being, and you don’t feel like you have a safety net. And there’s so much they didn’t teach you in school!

Everyone is busy

Today’s fast-paced environment in most social service agencies, hospitals, and mental health facilities can be overwhelming, even for seasoned practitioners.

Often, even when they want to, supervisors just don’t have the time to sit down and process case material like they used to. You were taught that in this profession supervision is key, but you realize everyone is just too busy.

You’re not supposed to go at this alone!

In fact, our professional ethics require that we seek out supervision on a regular basis in order to sort through ethical dilemmas, acquire new skills, work through counter-transference, and maintain objectivity in complex clinical situations.

Why an outside supervisor?

You may already have a supervisor at work, but you might want to learn about a specific theory or approach, or you might just want to have additional supervision to accumulate the hours you need to obtain your license sooner.

Sometimes you just need a second opinion, or the people you talk to at work don’t have the specific knowledge you’re interested in acquiring.

As a clinical supervisor, my passion is working with early professionals to help them integrate their learning with their current practice.

For beginning practitioners or those seeking licensure

If you are accumulating clinical hours for your license, we’ll work with gaps that you may have in your learning or experience.

Some areas of learning usually include DSM diagnostic assessment, case conceptualization, and application of theory to practice.

We’ll also review practice questions, ethical dilemmas, as well as how to achieve your professional goals.

For experienced practitioners

Experienced professionals often seek me out when they are transitioning from agency work to private practice, which can be very challenging. Others hire me to consult on a case they are struggling with or when they are interested in developing a new skill set in which I have expertise.

I’ll provide customized supervision to meet your professional goals.

Areas of expertise

With over 30 years of clinical practice experience, I will help you gain confidence in your clinical practice skills. My agency experiences include work in addictions, mental health, and cross-cultural psychotherapy.

I specialize in working with different aspects of social identity and the intersection of race, class, gender identity, and sexual orientation.

I provide a safe environment to explore professional concerns related to transference, counter-transference, ethical practice, and healthy boundary setting.

People I’ve supervised work in a variety of different settings including hospitals, non-profits, hospices, outpatient mental health clinics, in-patient facilities, and private practices.

You deserve time to continue your professional growth

Clinical supervision will help you feel more confident in your skills, so you can provide the support and services your clients deserve.

Professionals who have regular clinical supervision have better boundaries, are more clinically focused, and tend to experience less burnout.

You owe it to yourself to get the supervision you need to succeed in your clinical practice.
