Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision is a required component for Colorado LPCC’s (Licensed Professional Counselor Candidates). In Colorado, supervision hours can be either individual or in a small group setting. Once licensed, clinical supervision is a voluntary, though vital part of clinical practice referred to as consultation.
I offer clinical supervision for LPCC’s and consultation for licensed therapists. My intention is to enhance and expand clinical competence by deepening understanding of theoretical frameworks, evidence-based practices, and therapeutic interventions. My approach to clinical supervision is a collaborative process based in my own experience as a participant in supervision and consultation groups, as well as my approaches to therapy: Hakomi and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, IFS therapy, EMDR therapy, Gestalt and yoga therapy, all with a somatic (body-centered) focus.
Additionally, my approach to clinical supervision is two-fold: to provide a platform case conceptualization where we review different approaches to challenging client issues and to provide a platform for self-reflection, addressing what comes up in the therapist while working with certain clients. Addressing issues arising with the therapist is as equally important as case conceptualization in providing optimal client care.
Additionally, I have been on the Hakomi International Ethics Committtee for over 15 years. I have extensive experience addressing ethical issues, emphasizing a non-punitive approach to conflict resolution.
As part of clinical supervision, I enjoy mentoring newer therapists on building their practices.
As I have been in private practice for 23 years, I have extensive experience working with a wide variety of clients and presenting issues, mostly stemming from complex PTSD.
