Clinical Supervision

SUPPORT FOR YOUR NEXT STEP

Strengthen your clinical judgment, sharpen your skills, and prepare for independent practice.

SPECIALIZED SUPERVISION FOR

Michigan Limited Licensed Counselors

I provide clinical supervision for Limited Licensed Counselors who are working toward full LPC licensure in Michigan.

Clinical supervision is more than reviewing cases and documenting required hours. It is a structured professional relationship designed to help you strengthen your clinical judgment, develop confidence, work through ethical and professional challenges, and establish your identity as an independently practicing counselor.

As a Michigan Licensed Professional Counselor, I have completed 30 hours of specialized training in counseling supervision and meet Michigan’s professional-experience requirements for supervising Limited Licensed Counselors.

I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist and a Master Accelerated Resolution Therapy Practitioner. I bring this specialized background to my work with supervisees who want to develop greater competence and confidence in trauma-informed counseling.

My Approach to Clinical Supervision:

My supervision style is collaborative, developmental, supportive, and direct. I aim to create an environment in which supervisees can discuss difficult cases, uncertainties, mistakes, and professional concerns without shame while remaining accountable to ethical, legal, and clinical standards.

Supervision is individualized according to your experience, work setting, client population, theoretical orientation, and professional goals. A counselor beginning post-graduate practice may benefit from greater structure and guidance, while a more experienced Limited License Counselor may need deeper consultation, advanced case conceptualization, and support preparing for independent practice.

You can expect:

Clear expectations and professional boundaries
Honest, constructive feedback
Thoughtful questioning and clinical reflection
Attention to both strengths and growth areas
Support with ethical and clinical decision-making
Regular review of professional-development goals
A trauma-informed and culturally responsive perspective
Appropriate accountability for client care and professional conduct

SKILLS FOR TRAUMA WORK

Strengthen your ability to recognize, understand, and respond to trauma with support from an experienced trauma specialist.

MORE ABOUT

Trauma-Informed Supervision

Counseling clients with trauma histories can require careful attention to pacing, safety, therapeutic boundaries, emotional regulation, case complexity, and the counselor’s own responses to the work.

As a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, I can help supervisees strengthen their understanding of trauma-informed care and apply that understanding thoughtfully within their scope of competence.

Trauma-focused supervision may include:

Trauma-informed case conceptualization
Recognizing trauma responses and patterns
Establishing safety and treatment priorities
Pacing trauma-related clinical work
Supporting stabilization and emotional regulation
Managing complex or layered presentations
Maintaining appropriate therapeutic boundaries
Recognizing counselor activation and secondary traumatic stress
Preventing compassion fatigue and burnout
Determining when consultation or referral is appropriate

Trauma-informed supervision does not replace formal training in a specialized trauma treatment model. Supervisees are expected to use only interventions for which they have received appropriate education, training, consultation, and authorization.

SPECIALIZED SUPERVISION FOR

Accelerated Resolution Therapy

As a Master Accelerated Resolution Therapy Practitioner, I also bring advanced experience with Accelerated Resolution Therapy to the supervisory relationship.

For supervisees who have received appropriate ART training, supervision can include consultation regarding case selection, preparation, treatment planning, clinical integration, professional boundaries, and the thoughtful use of ART within the supervisee’s competence and practice setting.

Supervision with me does not qualify or credential a supervisee to practice ART. Counselors interested in using ART must complete the appropriate training.
