Clinicians on our team offering clinical supervision

Feel confident, effective, and supported in growing to become the clinician you are fully capable of being

As supervisors, we are not only passionate about training, but also in mentoring you in your development.

We teach, mentor, and supervise trainees, pre-licensed counseling residents, doctoral candidates, and psychologists whose values align with ours — emerging clinicians who genuinely care, are conscientious and organized, and who are passionate about the craft of therapy.

Our greatest intention is for you to develop skills to feel even more comfortable, confident, and effective —supported to find and develop your authentic voice. In supervision with us, you will not only feel cared for as a clinician, but also as a person.

Many of the supervisees who come to us…

  • are pre-licensed and seeking supervised hours toward full licensure

  • already have their degree, but need supervised hours toward licensure

  • may be newly licensed and seeking additional support while on their own

  • may be licensed in one state but seeking supervised hours toward full licensure in another

  • are looking for either individual or group supervision

  • are looking to learn and grow as a person and clinician and value supervisors who enjoy mentoring and training

High quality, relatable supervision from clinicians who get it

We were once trainees and supervisees and so we understand how hard it is to find a supervisor who truly cares — someone who doesn’t intrude on your process while also helping you feel supported — someone to help you find your own voice and confidence in any clinical situation. We provide the supervision that we sought once as trainees. You are more than a supervisee to us — you are someone we genuinely care for; we want to contribute to your growth and development and to see you thrive.
