CLINICAL SUPERVISION

 

As therapists, I believe we are the tools of our trade. Our work necessitates that we bring our whole selves to every session. Every  clinician, both new and seasoned, benefits from accurate reflection, feedback, and support on their journey.

As a supervisor, I bring my whole self, along with a few hats. I fluctuate between supervisor, mentor, teacher and guide as each moment may call for something different. Clinical supervision with me can help you:

  • Unearth your unique superpowers as a therapist
  • Visualize client’s lives through a social justice & systems lens
  • Become the therapist you are meant to be, to best serve yourself and clients
  • Mitigate the impact and risk of absorbing clients’ pain
  • Recognize and separate when your own stuff is triggered by client work

As a therapist, I aim to work intuitively by drawing from what I have culled during my substantial experience as a client, supervisee, therapist and supervisor.

Together, I hope to guide you to do the same.

Investment: A 60-minute clinical supervision session cost $150. There are a limited number of sliding scale spaces available for those with financial need.

Clinical supervision is available for professionals looking to qualify hours towards licensure, and/or to develop clinical skills. After the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person supervision should resume. Until such time, online/virtual supervision is available via Zoom. For those considering clinical supervision towards completing licensure hours for one of the above categories, please consult the Maryland Board of Professional Counselors & Therapists, for information about the relevant laws and regulations, and to download the required paperwork.

CONSULTATION

Case Consultation

Do you feel stuck and need guidance when working on a specific client presentation? Struggling to understand what trauma is and how it impacts your clients and your work? Have you been trained in EMDR, IFS or ITR and now not sure how to incorporate it into your clinical work?

 

Private Practice Start-up Consultation

Are you done working for someone else and eager to make your own schedule…good-bye evenings! Concerned if you’re ready or maybe lost on where to begin? Do you want more direction that what the internet or a Facebook group has offered? Whether you are a new therapist or a seasoned one, it can feel like going into business for yourself is a huge risk. I can help you decide if it’s a risk you are worth taking.

Together, we can explore and I can offer direction in the following areas:

  • Find your niche
  • Develop a business plan & explore your goals
  • Understand business related expenses and how to track
  • Panel with insurance companies (if desired)
  • Create all necessary paperwork for your clients and practice
  • Network to fill your caseload
  • Find the right office space and negotiating a lease
  • Build confidence, feeling good about putting on your “business hat”
  • Avoid burn-out, practice self-care, and isolation
