Supervision

I offer supervision for Colorado LPCCs and LPCs. My supervision approach is grounded in unconditional positive regard, somatic trauma therapy, attachment theory, contemplative psychotherapy, systems thinking, and social justice counseling. I can offer support on developing your private practice, client interventions, therapist/counselor identity, and/or working with specific LGBTQIA and polyamorous/CNM populations. I focus on your growth and development as a therapist, attending to blocks, habits, challenges, and transference/counter-transference, to develop self-awareness, confidence, and success in your therapeutic work.

I offer a free 30 minute exploratory meeting to talk more about supervision possibilities.
