Clinical Supervision for Associate and Pre-Licensed Clinicians in CA

What is the goal of clinical supervision?

Clinical supervision is more than meeting licensure requirements. It is a carefully held space where your clinical work, professional development, and ethical responsibilities are met with curiosity, respect, and skilled guidance.

Supervision supports you in strengthening your clinical judgment, navigating complex cases, and growing into your role as a confident, ethical, and relationally grounded clinician. Together, we attend not only to what you do in the therapy room, but how you show up as a practitioner within broader personal, professional, and systemic contexts.

Why Choose Supervision With Me?

  • Rooted in Compassion and Curiosity: Just as therapy relies on trust and collaboration, my approach to clinical supervision is grounded in empathy, openness, and mutual respect. Supervision offers a space to ask questions, explore uncertainty, and engage with challenges without fear of judgment.

  • Evidence-Based and Context-Aware: My supervision integrates evidence-based clinical frameworks while remaining attentive to the social, cultural, and structural contexts that shape clinical work. We consider how factors such as race, gender, power, economic stress, and intergenerational trauma affect both your clients’ experiences and your own role as a clinician.

  • Holistic Professional Development: Supervision is not only about accumulating hours. It is about developing clinical competence, ethical clarity, and professional confidence. The goal is to support sustainable, thoughtful practice over the long term.

What You’ll Gain From Clinical Supervision

  • Case Consultation and Clinical Skill Development: We will review cases collaboratively, strengthen assessment and intervention skills, and deepen your capacity to work with complexity. Supervision focuses on helping you build a flexible and responsive clinical toolkit.

  • Ethics, Boundaries, and Legal Guidance: Supervision provides proactive support around ethical dilemmas, boundary challenges, and legal considerations so you can practice with integrity, accountability, and clarity.

  • Reflective Support and Professional Sustainability: Clinical work is emotionally demanding. Supervision offers space to process countertransference, manage stress, and cultivate resilience in order to support long-term career sustainability.

  • Documentation and Licensure Support: I support tracking supervision hours and completing required documentation, agreements, and evaluations to ensure licensure requirements are clear and manageable.
