Family Therapy Supervision
My Philosophy
I am passionate about the ability of family therapy to transform the lives of our
clients. I am also passionate about the ability of good supervision to transform the
clinician from good to excellent. I strongly believe that anyone who wants to help
others through therapy needs to develop the best skills s/he can. Although the
development of "skills" may seem like an end in itself, it is really the development
of self knowledge that transforms the therapist. Good supervision helps us to
identify our limitations and stretch ourselves so that we have the potential to help a
wider range of people with a wider range of problems..

What can you expect?
My approach is supportive, building on the strengths of the therapist, but
challenging in order to stimulate new kinds of thinking and approaches to therapy.
Good supervision leads to personal growth as well as professional growth. For
more information on me, please go to About Paula Ochs.

Supervision in a group setting helps the therapist improve skills by practicing
interventions with group members via role play. Good supervision also provides
the therapist with a network of peer support. Supervision in a group gives
therapists an opportunity for experiential learning.* Experiential learning is a
powerful way to learn because one can learn by seeing, hearing, feeling, and
doing rather than seeing or hearing only.
*Researchers have determined that therapists are particularly receptive to experiential learning.
(See articles by David Kolb and others.)
In Family Therapy Supervision I use role play and other experiential techniques in
order to facilitate learning. Trainees also have the opportunity to use the
genogram effectively. Additionally, trainees can present videotaped sessions for
discussion.
Family Therapy Supervision helps therapists learn how to work systemically with
individual clients. A systemic approach is an ecological approach which allows the
clinician to understand the client in the context of his/her life. For example, is the
client recently widowed, a new parent, or the parent of a drug abusing son or
daughter? A systemic/ecological approach develops the clinician's ability to
anticipate the challenges and consequences of change. For example, will the
depressed wife's husband become angry if she starts to go out more?
More experienced Family Therapy Supervisees will learn how to make better
assessments, sharper interventions and strengthen their therapeutic voice. They
will also learn how to work with individuals when family members are not available,
using techniques from hypnotherapy and psychodrama.
Additionally, supervisees will learn how to develop effective interventions in the
"here and now." Many clinicians struggle to find ways to intervene in client
interactions in the moment. Supervision using experiential techniques helps
therapists learn and execute interventions that are process focused and that can
be observed and evaluated in the therapist's office.
Supervision is also offered for MSW graduates. Participants should have a
graduate degree and a job in which they see clients.
