WA Clinical Supervision

I am a Washington State Approved Supervisor for Marriage and Family Therapists (and other mental health related professions).  I am a Certified EFT Therapist (EFCT 2022, EFIT 2024 and EFFT 2024) and am currently an EFT Supervisor Candidate. 

My Clinical Supervision philosophy is one that is based on being accessible, responsive and engaged with my supervisees.  I support my supervisees in exploring how countertransference may show up when we are holding the container for our clients.  I have a lot of experience working with intercultural clients, highly escalated couples and clients who are strongly weighted towards their left brains.  I bring all of my life experience working in many different countries and careers to help provide contexts for working with clients from varying backgrounds.

My rate for Individual Clinical Supervision is $200 for a 60 minute session.

What to Expect at a Clinical Supervision Session

Preparation

Plan to record the Zoom sessions of your clients so that I can “see” what is happening in session to provide feedback and assist in offering options as well as support

Before the session, make sure you take time to review your videos to determine the best example of 5-10 minutes that you want to show for feedback. Mark the start and end times to make it easier to show during supervision.

Before Each Supervision Session

Plan to arrive 5-15 minutes before the start of the supervision session – while in the waiting room, taking at least 5 minutes of mindfulness practice

Supervision Session

1) Overview of your clients: progress and any challenges

2) Focused time on at least one client/couple/family:

·     5 minutes of understanding what they want support with (skills, self of therapist, general)

·     5-10 minutes of video review

·    15 minutes of supervisor and other therapist providing feedback or roleplay

3)  Exploring any other practice issues

After Supervision Session

Plan to spend 15-30 minutes reflecting on:

1)      What have you learned?

2)      What is one action you will take to experiment with this new learning?

3)      What “self of the therapist” issues have arisen?

4)      What is one action step you will take to address this “self of the therapist” issue?
