Clinical Supervision
Looking to improve your skills?
Learning how to be an effective therapist isn’t always intuitive
Most of us enter this field because we want to help people, but helping people make the changes they want to see in their lives requires more than just a desire to help. Graduate school may have helped you develop some understanding of your theoretical orientation, but do you feel ready to take on a full caseload by yourself?
Luckily, you don’t have to do it on your own. Whether you’re currently at an agency, or hoping to start a practice early in your career, seeking clinical supervision from a more experienced clinician can be indispensable.
You want to feel confident in the interventions you’re doing with your clients
You’re looking to develop your own therapeutic style. You don’t want to be a carbon copy of your supervisor—I get that. My primary goal for supervisees is to help them grow their skills so they can practice confidently in a way that fits their values and therapeutic style.
If you’re looking for a supervisor with a particular modality, check out my about me page to see my current style and what modalities I’ve been trained in.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) in the state of Colorado, I can supervise folks pursuing their: LPCC, CAT, CAS, and LAC.
I have experience in the following settings:
- Community Mental Health
- Group Private Practice
- Solo Private Practice
- VA Healthcare System
- Non-profit Veteran’s Service Center
- Adolescent Therapeutic Programming
I’ve worked with clients from all walks of life with a wide variety of diagnostic concerns.
Leverage my experience to help you hone your clinical skills.
What will you get out of supervision?
- Learn interventions that fit your counseling style and theory of practice
- Space to process transference and counter-transference challenges
- Discuss client conceptualization, diagnosis, and treatment planning.
- Assistance in reviewing ethical concerns, navigating DORA licensure requirements, and more.
questions you may have
-
In Colorado, a Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (LPCC) is required to work under the license of a supervisor.
However, even if you already have a supervisor (through your job perhaps), it can be helpful to have an external supervisor for many reasons. Primarily, many people feel more comfortable discussing their areas of growth with someone who has no ties to their employment status. Additionally, many facilities are understaffed so the person you end up with as your supervisor may not be someone you would have chosen on your own. -
Clinicians supervising in Colorado are required to have a certain number of hours and years in practice, have completed coursework in counseling supervision, as well as meet requirements for continuing education each renewal period.
I am dually licensed as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Addictions Counselor, so I am qualified to supervise LPCCs, people working towards their LAC or addictions credentials.
