How important is the supervision relationship?
As clinicians know, finding a “good fit” is essential to the success of the therapeutic process. The same goes for finding a supervisor. The supervisee and supervisor will be spending approximately 2 years together, so the selection process is essential! Please don’t hesitate to call me to see if we are a good fit.
What do I have to offer as a potential supervisor?
I have been in the counseling field for over a decade and have worked in several different agencies and private practice settings. I offer a unique approach to supervision by providing education not only on expanding your therapeutic identity and skills but also on the “ins and outs” of running a successful business. My educational background is in Business and Counseling. I know that it can be challenging trying to navigate your way through this particular field because I have been there, too. However, I also know that a career in counseling can be extremely rewarding. My primary goal as a supervisor is to offer continual guidance while the supervisee navigates their way through licensure.
