Supervision Philosophy
Purpose and Goal
Supervision is a collaborative working relationship between a supervisor and a counselor (Supervisee) aimed at enhancing clinical and ethical competence. The main goal is to develop therapeutic competence in the supervisee, fostering growth in their ability to effectively serve clients.
Goals and Empowerment
I work with supervisees to identify goals for their growth as clinicians and empower them to achieve these objectives. I aim to challenge them appropriately to increase self-awareness and flexibility. Additionally, I help supervisees work with their blind spots and utilize transference and countertransference positively in therapy.
Approach
My approach to supervision is integrated, primarily based on the Discrimination Model. I may assume different roles based on circumstances or your needs, including "teacher," "counselor," or "consultant." These roles involve instructing, guiding, and offering supportive guidance as needed. I draw from cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and existential theories, emphasizing the facilitative conditions of the person-centered approach.
Supervisee Role
I view the supervisee's role as one of active participation and disclosure related to client, therapeutic, supervisory, and personal information. While it's important to be active, there's no expectation to have all the answers. I encourage openness, acceptance, and trust in the supervision process.
Supervisor Role
My primary role as a clinical supervisor is to protect client welfare and serve as a gatekeeper for the field. I prioritize establishing a healthy, safe, and positive relationship with supervisees to facilitate their growth and encourage calculated yet safe risks.
Modalities
I use a combination of face-to-face, virtual, case review, and tape review modalities to provide a comprehensive and holistic supervision experience.
