I offer clinical supervision for LSW's, LCSW's, and Family Therapists focusing on
clinician's strengths while providing challenge in a warm and supportive
environment. For more information on me, see About Paula Ochs.
I believe that those who want to help others through therapy need to develop the
best skills they can. Some of these skills can be called techniques but mostly,
clinicians of all levels of experience need to develop self knowledge--an
understanding of the fundamental beliefs and values which drive the clinical
decisions they make at any point during therapy. Good supervision helps us to
stretch ourselves so that we have the potential to help a wider range of people with
a wider range of problems.
Supervision helps the clinician grow by using the clinician's strengths as a starting
point and then providing guidance and challenge in a supportive environment. A
supportive environment creates the opportunity to take risks, develop new skills
and new ways of thinking.
I believe in an ecological approach to therapy and supervision. Therapists need to
understand their clients in the contexts of their lives --how internal systems--both
physical and emotional-- interact with external systems like family and community. I
help clinicians see how their own internal and external systems interact with the
clients' systems and how to improve this interaction so they can be most helpful.
Supervision is tailored to the clinician's level of experience, training, and learning
style. Social Work Supervision is available for LSW's and for more experienced
LCSW's who want to hone skills, expand areas of expertise, and/or strengthen
their own therapeutic voice. Supervision is also available for experienced LCSW's
who are supervising or wish to supervise other therapists.
*Supervision is required for LSW's who wish to obtain LCSW licensing. See NASW FAQ's on
supervision http://naswmj.org/displaycommon.cfs?an=1&subarticlenbr=2
Supervision is available one-on-one and in groups. To learn more on how
supervision is offered see Supervision Modalities.
Family Therapy Supervision is available to help family therapists (MFT's,
MSW's and other degree holders) who want to focus on relational issues in order
to improve their skills for working with couples and families. Supervision is also
available for therapists who want to develop skills for working with groups. Family
Therapy Supervision is offered one-on-one and in groups.
Supervision Modalities
Social Work Supervision and Family Therapy Supervision are offered both one-on-
one and in groups. Learn more about Supervision Modalities.
Professional Development Workshops
Workshops are available for more advanced Social Workers and Family
Therapists. The Professional Handicap Workshop is an intensive training
designed to help the clinician to identify personal issues that interfere with
professional effectiveness. The training is offered in a group only.
Counseling Services
I offering counseling to families, couples and individuals who are struggling
through difficult transitions. Transitions are times when we are most stressed and
when difficulties can overwhelm us. These include forming new relationships--
personal and professional; losses including death, divorce, separation, moving,
empty nest, and loss of a job.
