Clinical Supervision

My Supervision Philosophy

For therapists in training, supervision is designed to improve understanding of client experiences, guide the selection and implementation of interventions, and address the wide array of inner experiences encountered by early-career therapists.

For established therapists, supervision focuses on honing clinical case conceptualization skills and examining the therapist’s contributions to their work. Supervision is a space to explore what therapists bring to the clinical encounter, identifying old patterns of belief, emotion, and response that may influence their practice.

Supervision provides ways to learn more about your clients, but perhaps more importantly, a safe place to explore what you are bringing to your clients, and how to help you become more effective. Supervision is one way to identify what old patterns of belief, emotion and responses are being brought forward into your work, and how you can begin to identify these patterns, set them aside, and enter the real-life clinical encounter more fully. When therapists can achieve this level of self-awareness, they find that they are providing very high levels of care to their clients, and their therapy work is quite powerful and effective.
