Finding the right supervisor on your journey to becoming a licensed professional can be daunting and I am currently offering individual/dyadic supervision to pre-licensed master’s level therapists pursuing licensure as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) or Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in both Oregon and Washington.
I am a Supervisor Candidate in the state of Oregon (XXXXX). This means that, like you, I am receiving supervision to ensure my competence in the realm of helping you in your journey to become a licensed professional. Washington does not provide formal credentials for supervisors, but I have met all the requirements to supervise pre-licensed professionals towards licensure.
Working with Me
As a supervisor my primary goal is to help you develop the confidence and skills to provide competent, equitable and informed counseling to your clients.
Just like fit is important with a therapist, fit is important with your supervisor! I work best with supervisees who are prepared to engage in honest reflection about their growth and experience. Be prepared to be guided and challenged, supported and pushed to be your best self as a therapist.
I am most effective with supervisees who display:
Good organization
Self-awareness
A willingness to challenge implicit biases and blind spots
Sincere accountability for their choices and actions
The Logistics
I offer 55-minute individual supervision sessions. I am also happy to form a group if I have interest from at least four people who can commit to attending group supervision 1-2 times monthly. Group supervision sessions would be 1.5 hours in length.
The following rates are in place for supervision with me:
55-Minute Individual Sessions: $100
Group Supervision Session: $65 per person
At this time, due to COVID-19 and social distancing measures all supervision will take place via video or phone. As the country moves to re-opening I would be happy to discuss the possibility of in-person supervision, but I do not anticipate this occurring for some time.
If you think I could be the right supervisor for you, I would love for us to set up a time to talk about your needs and my professional style and orientation.
A consultation for supervision with me is free, so don't hesitate to reach out!
I would love to find out if I could be the right supervisor for you
As a therapist and counselor, it can be hard to admit when we're struggling and need help. Realizing we have our own biases and blind spots can be uncomfortable, frustrating and sometimes defeating. Even after admitting we need a fresh pair of eyes on the problem or issue at hand, the process of finding the right person, with all the right knowledge and experience to help, can be equally defeating.
This struggle of knowing we need more support and information, but feeling unsure of where to find it is one of the reasons I want to offer my professional expertise and experience to other folks that need it. I am open to providing my professional knowledge in consultation with licensed therapists or other professionals. If you're interested, read on for more information about the process.
What Does Consultation With You Look Like?
At this time I provide 50-minute clinical consultations to other licensed providers. Often these are singular meetings where I offer feedback, knowledge and another perspective on a clinical matter that feels challenging, unclear or emotionally activating. Due to COVID-19 and social distancing precautions we can meet via video or over the phone; whatever suits you best.
In our consultation, I will ask you what you're struggling with, for some pertinent details in the case or issue you want to discuss, and I want to know what you would like to get out of our time together. Having this information will help me to facilitate a more useful discussion and will guide my recommendations.
While helping you to reach your goal for our time together is my top priority, sometimes, in complex and serious cases, I may share with you concerns, potential limitations I foresee and I may recommend transferring your case to a professional with the appropriate education and training.
I am open to providing consultations to unlicensed, masters-level clinicians, but only with expressed written consent from your supervisor(s). It is important that associates, registered interns and students know that a consultation with me is not supervision and cannot be counted towards your supervision hours towards licensure.
Fees for Service
At this time, I schedule 50-minute professional consultations. My consulting fee is $180, payable by credit card (due to social distancing) at the time of service.
