Supervision Solutions

So you're looking for a supervisor?

Finding the right fit can feel elusive. At this stage, you may be unsure of which questions to ask, how to gauge a supervisor’s true investment in your growth, or even what gaps in knowledge to look out for.

Sound familiar?

What you do know, is that you must find a Supervisor first, before you can get a job and begin acquiring those 3000 required hours to become fully licensed. This is overwhelming for some, worrisome for most, and you are not alone.

Not long ago, I had the opportunity to connect with Kathleen Mills and Phillip Crum of PracticeMentors.us and became involved in their counselor education initiatives. They recently launched 'The Academy,' a valuable addition to their platform. The Academy equips supervisors with comprehensive training in the many aspects of running a private practice—regardless of its structure—so we can better mentor and support the next generation of counselors. It truly aligns with their mission of 'Guiding the Next Generation.'

I'm always interviewing potential associates so perhaps we should talk. But first I want you to listen to the podcast below and continue reading and carefully read every word carefully until the end. Don't skim it, don't click off the page, read every single word because I wrote them all, just for you!

Please note, if you have plans to begin your own private practice while under supervision, I will not enter into any supervision agreement with you. There is simply too much liability involved to take the risk.

If you subscribe to the gender affirming care (GAC) trend, especially for the under 18 demographic, then we're not going to be a good fit. No exceptions.

If you are not willing to work with children and adolescents, then we will not be a good fit either.

Before we go on you need to know this...

Supervisors come in two groups:

Those that are primarily in it to give back and mentor the next generations' professional aspirations, and... Those that are in it for the money.

If your goal is to find the lowest-cost supervisor who will simply help you meet the minimum requirements, then I may not be the right fit for you. I—and those I would confidently recommend—am committed to providing high-quality, engaged supervision that prioritizes your growth and long-term success.
