Note: I am currently taking on new supervisees. Contact me for more information!

​

Clinical supervision has two primary goals: the development and welfare of the supervisee and the welfare of the client. Supervision will occur in both individual and group formats. My style of supervision is integrated and draws from several different models, including psychotherapy-based models, developmental models, process models, and second-generation models. I will outline two primary models of supervision I employ in the provision of clinical supervision below. 

 

Humanistic-Relationship Oriented Model

 

Supervision rooted in the humanistic-relationship oriented model focuses on supervisees developing knowledge of theory and technique as well as interpersonal growth and the ability to use themselves as an agent of change. The humanistic-relationship oriented model is a psychotherapy-based model because it draws from the primary tenets of Carl Rogers’ humanistic approach to counseling and psychology. Within the humanistic-relationship oriented approach, my goal is to bring warmth, empathy, and genuineness to the supervision experience. I enter the relationship with respect for the supervisee, recognizing that the supervisee’s needs are unique and must be met for adequate growth and development to occur. 

 

Discrimination Model

 

The discrimination model (DM) empowers the supervisor to make decisions about what type of intervention and interaction should occur with the supervisee based on development and needs. The supervisor may choose to serve as a teacher, counselor, or consultant and use intervention, conceptualization, or personalization tools. Using this model allows me to personalize the supervision experience for each supervisee, ensuring that supervision remains supervisee-centered at all times.
