WINGSPAN
LPC & LMFT Supervisor Training in Austin, TX
This 40-hour hybrid program is designed for Licensed Professional Counselors and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists who wish to become clinical supervisors in one fun-filled weekend!
Join our growing network of more than 200 Wingspan graduates! Become a part of an amazingly supportive and active group of Clinical Supervisors in Austin, Texas.
Led by Susan Gonzales LPC‑S, LMFT‑S
Susan is a successful private practice clinician, group practice owner and dual licensed supervisor who has provided group and individual supervision for over 10 years. She has worked with up to ten supervisees at a time and has been a master’s level clinician for 17 years.
I host these in-person intentionally because supervisors need community, consultation, and connection, not just CEUs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Licensed Professional Counselors and Licensed Marital and Family Therapists who are interested in becoming Clinical Supervisors in Texas, or would like to learn more about what Supervision entails.
20 hrs of home study material (provided one month before the training, and can be completed up to 90 days post-training) and 20 hrs of small classroom experience (in Austin, TX) that satisfies all legal requirements to become an LPC-S or LMFT-S. Content covers supervisory roles and relationships, models and stages, methods, tools and techniques, ethics, power with heart, cultural diversity and LGBTQIA+ challenges, professional tasks and assessment, supervisor identity, self-renewal, marketing, and more.
Texas requires LPCs to hold full licensure for 5 years and LMFTs for 3 years before applying to become a clinical supervisor. However, the Wingspan designation is valid for two years before expiration, so many clinicians choose to take this course earlier in order to be fully prepared to launch when they hit the five-year mark. Learn more about Texas supervisor requirements here.
Class sizes are limited to 10-12 participants to maintain an intimate learning experience!
After the training, you’ll have 90 days to complete the home study component. You’ll then receive your certificate and personalized feedback from Susan of your home study. Graduates are also invited to join the Wingspan Supervisor community through our Google and Facebook groups for ongoing support, networking, and supervision discussion. Once your Supervisor designation is official, you’ll also be added to the Wingspan Directory for Texas Associates seeking supervision.
The total cost of the entire 40-hour training is $930. We offer early bird specials to registrants who pay up to 60 days prior to the training for $900.
Fees are non-refundable, however, can be applied towards future courses within one year of the original course date.
Testimonials
Susan Gonzales is amazing! I had been considering supervisor training for a while, but wanted an in-person experience. Several people recommended Wingspan with Susan, and it was more than I could have asked or expected. I am in private practice, and I longed for the experience of being in person with a variety of experienced clinicians. It was so much fun and also very empowering. I learned from the other participants, as all the exercises and training were engaging and powerful. Susan had so many personal touches that highlighted what she saw in each one of us -- I won't spoil it, but the traditions she has integrated into the training are deeply meaningful. I am leaving the training with so much confidence and also a group of peers to consult with and learn from. I feel equipped to start supervising immediately. Susan and the Wingspan alumni now feel like a community I have access to whenever I need support or consultation.
The Wingspan Supervisor Training let by Susan Gonzales was one of the most incredible trainings I have ever attended and I train often!
Susan was a thorough teacher, with incredibly informative and instructive material. She also made sure we were nurtured, safe, warm, fed and cozy in the training space while learning what we needed to become great supervisors. I feel I have made lifelong friends and fellow therapists. I feel I am well prepared to grow into a great supervisor with what I learned from this training.
Susan made the training experience feel like a retreat. Made some amazing friends and colleagues which I will cherish.
I've been a Wingspan Supervisor for many years, and have gotten much out of it. This training was no exception. Susan Gonzales is and EXCEPTIONAL trainer, as was her predecessor, Sabrina Kendall. Trainings are often in person, small enough in which to be vulnerable as a therapist and supervisor, and very enriching. Also affordable! I am an LCSW-S, and can still get license renewal credits from these CE's. I'd probably attend anyway. Also, if you're lucky Susan will serve you homemade breakfast tacos for the training!
She's got a great group of dedicated followers, with any supervisors welcome.
Susan is awesome! My confidence in my ability to provide supervision increased after taking her course! Thank you!
The training was inviting and interactive. There was more than learning; it was about connecting and growing!
I drove 3 hours to attend the Supervisor Refresh course. It was absolutely worth the drive. I intend to drive the 3 hours for the Consulation Group as well!
