Supervision

Where can I find a supervisor – that meets my requirements?

Finding a good supervisor can feel like, “looking for a needle in a haystack,” can’t it?

What you know is that you must find a supervisor before you can get a job and begin acquiring the 3000 hours needed to become fully licensed. This is overwhelming for some, worrisome for most.

You are not alone.

What I Offer

I believe a supervisor’s role is to mentor and provide as much information as I can to help you grow as a counselor and prepare you for full licensure.

I’m always interviewing potential associates so perhaps we should talk. Please note that, if you have plans to begin your own private practice while under supervision, I will not enter into any supervision agreement with you. There is simply too much liability involved to take the risk.

If your plan includes learning the ropes regarding Federal and State compliance issues, the legalities of working with other people as employees and/or contractors, and a myriad of other things you didn’t learn in school about running a legal and compliant practice prior to starting that practice, then please keep reading

What I Am Asking of You

Here are three things I look for and require from my associates:

• Accountability – Able to make self-corrections along the way
• Ambition – Must be self-motivated and a go-getter
• Resourcefulness – Willing to learn about the real world of the counseling profession

Questions to Ponder

Spend some time with these three thoughts before you begin your search for that perfect supervisor.

• What do I want to accomplish? (Be Specific)
• What does it look like? (Be Specific)
• What am I willing to do to get to where I say I want to go? (Be Honest)
