Supervision
My supervision model is an extension of my approach to therapy, which is integrative and draws on a variety of modalities, including play therapy, somatic and polyvagal work, cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, art therapy, and attachment and family systems theories. All aspects of my practice are deeply rooted in care that is neurodiversity and identity-affirming and honors everyone’s unique identity, experiences, and culture. I approach each individual and system through a trauma-informed lens and work collaboratively with them to develop treatment plans and clinical goals that are affirming and strengths-based. I strongly believe in supporting supervisees not only in their professional and clinical growth but also in fostering the holistic well-being of each clinician through self-care, positive boundary setting, and exploration of counseling identity.
What is Supervision?
How does it help you? You know this is the next step in your career development. However, some of you may be uncertain what this fully entails. The goal of clinical supervision in Washington is to provide you with:
Cultural Competency
Continuous exploration of how personal identity, culture, religion, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and personal history and belief systems intersect with your work
Case
Consultation
Safe space in which to obtain consultation and guidance on challenging cases, implementation of clinical skills, referral networking, and support clinical growth
Understanding of laws and ethics
Learning how to employ the use of various ethical decision- making models, education around current laws and how to maintain personal currency on evolving policies, and gaining an understanding of how to utilize appropriate resources for counsel
Burnout
Prevention
Identifying the signs of personal burnout and developing a strong understanding of the importance of self-care, positive boundaries, and how to honor and foster a strong sense of self while engaging in clinical practice
