My Approach to Clinical Supervision

I offer clinical supervision for associate social workers that is designed to provide you with meaningful support for growth as a social worker - in your clinical and professional skills, knowledge, and perspectives - to achieve competence AND confidence in your social work identity and in your ability to provide quality clinical care.

Supervision protects clients, supports practitioners, and ensures that professional standards and quality services are delivered by competent social workers. (More about supervision from the NASW)

I recognize that the supervisor-supervisee relationship is a unique and special one, requiring trust, openness, respect, and care from both sides. The hours you spend in supervision as an associate social worker play a huge role in shaping your professional identity and ideas. As an LCSW, I don’t take any of this lightly and acknowledge this work and my role as a clinical supervisor as stewardship of the social work profession.

My goal as a clinical supervisor is to provide a safe place for you to be nurtured, encouraged, and supported in your growth as a social worker and clinician.

You’ll also have the opportunity to…

  • peek inside the world of private practice (and major bonus here if you’re interested in perinatal mental health!) and higher education

  • connect with other associate social workers on the same path of learning and growing through group supervision

  • learn and grow your clinical skills through book clubs, case studies and presentations, and ethical discussions

If this sounds like what you need, schedule a ‘get to know you’ call with me today.
