Clinical Supervision sessions are available for individuals seeking required supervision hours for LPC/LMFT licensure in the Commonwealth of Virginia

Overview 

Throughout the entire supervisory relationship, my primary supervisory responsibility is to safeguard clients while promoting the supervisee's clinical skills in creating an inviting, safe and collaborative learning environment for clients to disclose, explore alternative ways of viewing, experiencing, understanding and interacting with the world around them.

 

Model of Supervision

• Learning process that is developmental in nature that parallels the counseling process

• The process of the supervisory relationship changes as the attitudes, behaviors, and practices of the supervisee change

• The manner of supervision provided shifts in accordance with the level of skill, confidence, proficiency and autonomy of the supervisee

• Both didactic and advisory 

Outcomes

Practical skills taught include substance abuse and mental health assessment, collaborative treatment planning using Motivational Interviewing paradigm, case conceptualization model, Federal, state and local regulations regarding confidentiality, patient rights, documentation of clinical sessions and case management services, assessment, management and documentation of high risk clinical situations, diagnosis and determining appropriate therapeutic approaches, identification and management of ethical issues that arise in the course of providing services, maintaining confidentiality in accordance with privacy laws and ethical standards and understanding situations where confidence can be breeched, establishing and maintaining therapeutic boundaries, appropriate use of self in the counseling process and tactics to enhance the effectiveness of the therapeutic relationship.
