Clinical Supervision and Training

• Do you strive to be the best clinician you can be?

• Are you an LSW who needs supervision in order to obtain LCSW licensing, an MFT who has a provisional license or who wants to become an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, or an LAC?*

• Are you a seasoned therapist who feels comfortable working with individuals, but usually refers families and couples out?

• Are you an experienced therapist who wants to enhance your work by incorporating the body using action methods?

• Are you a supervisor who needs occasional consultation for clarification around ethical or other issues?

• Are you a supervisor who is interested in learning how to use the body/action methods in your supervision?

 

I offer clinical supervision/consultation to social workers, family therapists, counselors, psychiatrists and psychologists, focusing on your strengths while providing challenge in a warm and supportive environment.  

 

I believe that those who want to help others through therapy need to bring their very best to their clients.  This means more than skills. Clinicians at all levels of experience need to develop self knowledge, an understanding of the fundamental beliefs and values which drive the clinical decisions we make at any point during therapy as well as an understanding of our professional handicaps.  We also need to be able to work in the moment, to be spontaneous. 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 and to develop our spontaneity.

 

I specialize in Supervision in Action, which uses "sculpting" and role play to concretize difficulties and to provide solutions to therapists who are struggling with difficult cases. I help clinicians see how their own internal and external systems interact with client systems and how to improve this interaction so they can be most helpful.

 

Supervision is available one-on-one and in groups.

Social Work Supervision

Is Social Work Supervision right for you? If you are an LSW, you are required to have clinical supervision in order to obtain licensing. Social Work Supervision can also help LCSW's by providing guidance in engagement/joining, framing problems into workable contexts, and by developing effective interventions. Supervision is also available to those who supervise other clinicians in order to provide support and clarification around ethical and other issues.  I believe supervision should be supportive, building on the strengths of the therapist.

​

Family Therapy Supervision

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.  I incorporate action/psychodramatic methods into supervision.

Training in Action Methods/Psychodrama Training

I am a Trainer, Educator and Practitioner of psychodrama (TEP), which means I can offer you supervision and training credits in this dynamic field. Training includes didactic and experiential learning of techniques including empty chair, role play and role reversal, concretization, working in the here and now, as well as the social atom.

 

Counseling Services

I offer counseling to families, and couples,  individuals, and groups, 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; conflict, loss, including death of a child or other family member, divorce, separation, moving, empty nest, and loss of a job.

Supervision is tailored to the clinician's level of experience, training, and learning style.
