Supervision for pre-licensed Clinicians in Colorado

I offer individual clinical supervision for therapists pursuing Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) or Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) licensure in Colorado.

In supervision we focus on:
Case consultation and clinical conceptualization
Ethical and legal considerations in Colorado practice
Diagnosis, assessment, and treatment planning
Therapist self-awareness and countertransference
Developing confidence in clinical decision-making
Integrating modalities such as trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, or IFS (if applicable)
Supervision can take place in person or via secure telehealth, consistent with Colorado supervision guidelines.
Thoughtful and IFS-informed clinical supervision
The process of becoming a fully licensed clinician involves more than accumulating hours. You’re holding complex client stories while also developing your voice, confidence, and clinical judgment.
That level of responsibility doesn’t always stay inside the therapy room. It can influence how you see yourself as a therapist and how sustainable the work feels day to day.
Supervision should be a place where you can slow down, think deeply about your cases, and receive thoughtful support as both a clinician and a person.
What if supervision felt welcoming and inspiring rather than boring or stagnant?
My supervision style is collaborative, reflective, and clinically rigorous. I aim to create a space where therapists feel supported while also being challenged to grow.
Supervision often includes:
Detailed case consultation
Exploration of therapeutic process and relationship dynamics
Skill building in specific modalities
Cultural humility and systemic awareness
Guidance around private practice or agency work
Supervisees are required to bring clinical questions to deepen the learning process. 1-2 recorded audio sessions, treatment plan examples, oversight and intermittent access to progress notes (with client consent) are also required as part of the supervision process.
Bring all the questions. Your wisdom and perspective matter.
Supervision offers more than guidance on clinical skills. It’s a space for reflection, curiosity, support, and the occasional well-timed meme when the work feels heavy.
Together we slow down and think through the moments that feel complicated—whether it’s a challenging case, uncertainty about next steps in treatment, or the growing edge of your own clinical voice.
Licensure supervision should help you meet requirements, but it can also be a meaningful space to deepen your confidence and clarity as a therapist.
Let’s find a way forward together.
My Approach to Clinical Supervision
My supervision style is relational, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that therapists need just as much attunement as their clients do.
Supervision is not a place for perfection. It’s a place to explore the complexity of the work, reflect on clinical decisions, and develop your own therapeutic voice.
I hold space for the messiness and the magic of clinical work—and for the humanity of the therapist doing it.
In Supervision We May Draw From
Evidence-based clinical frameworks
We’ll explore how to apply structured approaches while remaining flexible and responsive to the person sitting in front of you.
Parts-informed and trauma-informed perspectives
We may explore how internal dynamics, protective patterns, and trauma histories show up in therapy—and how to work with them thoughtfully.
Attachment theory and relational dynamics
Understanding attachment patterns can deepen your case conceptualization and guide interventions in complex relational work.
Real-world clinical experience
Supervision often includes practical conversations about what actually happens in the therapy room, not just what textbooks describe.
A social justice and context-aware lens
We consider the broader systems that shape our clients’ experiences, including culture, identity, and power.
A neurodiversity-affirming approach
Different ways of thinking, sensing, and processing are respected and supported in both clients and clinicians.
What Supervision May Include
Supervision sessions may involve:
Case consultation and clinical conceptualization
Support with challenging or complex client dynamics
Exploring therapist reactions, countertransference, and boundaries
Developing confidence with diagnosis and treatment planning
Integrating different therapeutic approaches into your work
Navigating ethical questions and professional decisions
Strengthening your own clinical intuition and judgment
You’re welcome to bring the cases that feel confusing, the sessions that linger in your mind, or the moments where you’re not quite sure what to do next.
A Collaborative Learning Process
Everyone learns differently. After sessions, I may share optional resources or reflections that support your learning style—whether that’s visual tools, written guides, or simply space to integrate what we discussed.
Supervision is not about having all the answers. It’s about learning how to stay curious, grounded, and thoughtful in the face of clinical complexity.
If You’ve Ever Thought…
“I want to do good work, but sometimes I’m not sure I’m getting it right.”
“This case feels complicated and I want another perspective.”
“I’m still finding my voice as a therapist.”
You’re in the right place.
Supervision can be a space where your skills deepen, your confidence grows, and the work becomes more sustainable over time.
You don’t have to choose between structure and soul, and you don’t have to do this work in isolation.
It’s possible to build a practice that reflects your clinical integrity and your humanity.
