Clinical Supervision
As a dedicated professional in the field of counseling, I am excited to offer clinical supervision services to counselors-in-training and early-career professionals in Nevada. I am an approved Secondary Supervisor by the State of Nevada’s Board of Examiners for Marriage and Family Therapists and Clinical Professional Counselors, equipped to provide a supportive, insightful, and growth-oriented environment for your professional development.
Why Clinical Supervision is Important
Clinical supervision is a critical component of becoming a skilled and ethical counselor. It is more than just a requirement; it is an opportunity for emerging counselors to:
- Receive Guidance and Feedback: Develop clinical skills with the help of an experienced supervisor who offers constructive feedback.
- Enhance Professional Growth: Engage in reflective practice, self-exploration, and ethical decision-making.
- Ensure Client Welfare: Supervision provides a space to discuss client cases, ensuring the highest standard of care and ethical practice.
Through consistent supervision, new counselors gain confidence, develop their professional identity, and refine their therapeutic skills to better serve their clients.
My Supervision Models and Approach
My approach to supervision is grounded in several evidence-based models:
- Learning-Based Model of Psychotherapy Supervision: A comprehensive approach integrating several effective supervision models to build a strong supervisory alliance, promote critical thinking, and foster professional growth.
- Synergistic Model for Multicultural Supervision: Focuses on enhancing cultural competence and ensuring safe and effective practice in diverse client settings.
- Ethical Decision-Making Model: A structured, seven-step process designed to help supervisees navigate ethical dilemmas and develop sound decision-making skills.
These models ensure that supervision is holistic, culturally sensitive, and ethically grounded, providing a robust framework for learning and professional development.
Virtual Supervision Options Available
I offer virtual supervision options to accommodate different needs and schedules. Virtual supervision provides flexibility, reduces travel time, and allows for more convenient scheduling. While there are benefits, such as expanded supervisor choice and reduced costs, it’s important to consider limitations, including the potential for technology issues and maintaining confidentiality.
