Clinical Supervision

Supervision Should Help You Become The Therapist You Hope To Be.

Supervision is about far more than collecting hours. It is an opportunity to develop confidence, deepen your clinical thinking, strengthen your ethical decision-making, and become the kind of therapist clients can trust with their most vulnerable experiences.

The Heart Of It

My Philosophy Of Supervision

We don't simply learn interventions in supervision. We learn how to think clinically.

Curiosity is more valuable than certainty, especially early in a career when it can feel like you're supposed to already have the answers. Good therapists aren't defined by having every answer figured out. They're defined by their willingness to stay curious, to sit with not knowing, and to keep asking better questions.

Clinical humility matters. Safety in the room begins with the therapist's own sense of groundedness, which is why self-awareness is one of the greatest clinical tools you'll ever develop, right alongside any specific technique or intervention.

The Long View

Beyond Licensure Hours

Supervision is preparing you for an entire career, not just the hours required to get licensed. That means we also make room to talk about preventing burnout, building a sustainable practice, setting boundaries, developing solid documentation habits, seeking consultation when you need it, committing to lifelong learning, and balancing confidence with humility as you grow.

Interested in trauma-informed work

An EMDR clinician, or interested in becoming one

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do we meet?
Meeting frequency is discussed and agreed upon together, typically on a regular weekly or biweekly basis to support consistent clinical growth.
Can I receive supervision virtually?
Yes. Supervision is offered virtually, which allows for flexibility and consistency regardless of where in California you're located.
Do you supervise associates throughout California?
Yes. Virtual supervision allows us to work with Associate Marriage and Family Therapists throughout the state.
Do you supervise EMDR cases?
Yes. EMDR integration is one of the areas we regularly focus on in supervision, including case conceptualization and working through stuck points.
Can I bring difficult cases?
Yes, and we'd encourage it. Difficult or stuck cases are often where the richest clinical learning happens, and supervision is a space to think through them together.
What if I'm feeling overwhelmed?
That's an important thing to bring to supervision too. Sustainable practice and preventing burnout are part of what we focus on, not just case-specific clinical questions.
How is supervision different from consultation?
Supervision involves a formal supervisory relationship tied to licensure requirements, while consultation is typically more informal. Our supervision includes both structured oversight and the kind of collaborative thinking you'd find in good consultation.
Can we discuss documentation?
Yes. Documentation habits are part of building a sustainable, ethical practice, and we're glad to review and strengthen this together.
Do you supervise couples work?
Yes. Couples therapy is one of the clinical areas we regularly focus on in supervision.
How do I get started?
Reach out to schedule a consultation. We'll talk through your goals, background, and what you're looking for in a supervisory relationship to see if it feels like a good fit.
