Supervision

Development Toward Licensure

What This Supports

Supervision is designed to support pre-licensed therapists as they navigate:

• required clinical hours for licensure

• trauma and complex case exposure

• development of clinical judgment and identity

• ethical decision-making in practice

• emotional and nervous system impact of clinical work

Approach

Supervision is grounded in a trauma-informed, development-focused approach that integrates case reflection, clinical teaching, and professional formation.

The focus is on building both competence and clarity as a developing clinician.

‍Notice

Supervision is the relationship between the qualified supervisor and registered intern that promotes the development of responsibility, skills, knowledge, attitudes and adherence to ethical, legal and regulatory standards in the practice of clinical social work, marriage and family therapy and mental health counseling. Supervision is contact between an intern and a supervisor during which the intern apprises the supervisor of the diagnosis and treatment of each client, client cases are discussed, the supervisor provides the intern with oversight and guidance in diagnosing, treating and dealing with clients, and the supervisor evaluates the intern’s performance. At the end of supervision, the Supervisor must report supervision hours and the performance of the registered intern in professional activities as measured against generally prevailing peer performance. This information is used by the counseling board to determine the intern’s ability to practice and/or counsel independently.
