Nurturing professional development in therapists and managers in non-profit agencies and community-based settings

Consultation for New Managers and Clinical Supervisors

Consultation for Therapists and Social Workers Becoming Supervisors and Managers

You’ve been promoted and want to build an effective team, but you’re left on your own and wondering if you have the skills and knowledge to step into this role. You want to start offering clinical supervision to grow as a licensed clinician, but you still feel new and, in truth, sometimes question your own competence.

You’re finding yourself doubting your own ability to support other professionals and wondering whether you’re really ready for this.

From Imposter Syndrome to Confident Clinical Leadership

Individual consultation for new managers and clinical supervisors occurring face-to-face on a couch.

What you’re missing is a framework and the confidence to pull your experience into your clinical leadership.

Many new supervisors and managers are promoted without being offered additional training. I will help you stand out from the time you’re preparing to interview until you feel competent in your new management role. 

I will help you with the following:

Getting buy-in for structural changes in your workplace

Identifying a model of supervision

Developing a supervision contract

Giving effective feedback

Documenting supervision and critical feedback

Coaching someone out of the job

Ethical dilemmas

Celebrating strengths and achievements

Good clinical supervision should provide the following:

Working towards the skills needed for licensure

Support

Learning opportunities

Ongoing feedback on clinical skill and documentation

Openings for feedback from the supervisee to supervisor

Exploration of identities and intersectionality to build self awareness of biases and better support clients

Exploration of your learning style so that the supervisor is supporting you individually

There is an inherent power imbalance between supervisee and their clinical supervisor, and this is exacerbated when the supervisor is also responsible for the supervisee’s employment and/or ability to become licensed. I will help you learn how to address this with your supervisees throughout their clinical supervision with you. 

Why Me?

I have held clinical leadership positions at community mental health agencies and justice reform non-profits in NYC and Denver, CO. Additionally, I have consulted with nonprofits to support them in effectively building and managing clinical, grant-based programs and to directly support their clinical staff.

My orientation is person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma- and systems- informed. I use an integrated supervision framework called Bernard’s Discrimination Model of Supervision, accounting for the clinician’s stage of development, skill level, and self awareness. My supervision and consultation incorporates my certification as a compassion fatigue professional, supporting your sustained growth as a leader with boundaried compassion for yourself and your staff.
