What Is Clinical Supervision?
Clinical supervision is a structured, professional relationship that provides support, feedback, and guidance to practitioners working towards their certification or licensure. It is an essential component for personal and professional growth, helping you to navigate complex cases, strengthen your clinical skills, and promote ethical practice. Whether you're looking to fulfill required supervision hours or gain insight into your therapeutic approach, we are here to guide you every step of the way.

How to Choose the Right Supervisor for You
Choosing the right clinical supervisor is crucial to your professional development and success. Here are a few key factors to consider when selecting a supervisor:
​
  1. Licensure and Credentials: Ensure that your supervisor is appropriately licensed and qualified to provide supervision in your specific field (Social Work or Psychotherapy). This guarantees that they are up-to-date with industry standards and ethical guidelines.

  2. Specializations and Areas of Expertise: Supervisors often have different areas of expertise. If you work with specific populations or in particular therapeutic modalities, look for a supervisor who has experience and training in those areas.

  3. Supervision Style and Approach: Each supervisor may have a unique approach to supervision. Some may be more directive, while others adopt a more collaborative or reflective style. It’s important to understand what kind of support you’re seeking—whether you need practical guidance, emotional support, or a space to explore challenging cases.

  4. Availability and Flexibility: Make sure the supervisor’s schedule aligns with your availability. Some supervisors offer in-person sessions, while others may offer virtual or flexible options. Consider the frequency of supervision and how it fits into your workflow.

  5. Cultural Competency and Values: It’s important that you feel comfortable with your supervisor’s values and approach to cultural competency. Consider whether the supervisor is inclusive and understands the diverse communities you may be working with.

  6. Feedback and Communication: Open, constructive feedback is key to clinical supervision. Look for a supervisor who encourages clear communication and offers feedback in a way that helps you grow, not just evaluate your work.
    ​
  7. Personal Rapport: Finally, the relationship between you and your supervisor should feel comfortable and supportive. Building trust and rapport is essential for productive supervision sessions.
