What to expect from Supervision?
My goal as a supervisor is to help the supervisee fully understand and meet the requirements for licensure as an LPC and to guide the supervisee in their professional and personal growth as a therapist using an Integrative Development Model. The IDM focuses on the importance of the supervisory relationship as the basis for all learning. I feel that just as the therapeutic relationship between therapist and client provides the support for change and growth, so does the relationship between supervisor and supervisee.
The focus of Process:
– Who am I as a clinician?
– What population do I want to work with and why?
– Understanding ethics and client welfare
– What theoretical orientations best fit me and why?
– Willingness to be self-aware
– Personal responsibility and accountability
Within this framework, the supervisee will be guided in their journey of developing their personal and authentic identity as a professional counselor, fulfill the requirements needed to become fully licensed, and gain knowledge and competence in the areas of ethics, client welfare, theory, and intervention.
