Our Story
The practice of supervision and continuing professional development is our passion and mission.
In our own journey as a developing professional, it became clear that there was a gap, an inconsistency related to the quality of supervisory practice. Many therapists lack proper training to differentiate between counseling and providing clinical supervision. Another challenge observed in agency settings is that supervisors often prioritize administrative tasks, leaving clinicians without proper coaching and clinical support. This phenomenon often occurs because agencies prioritize administrative tasks, neglecting the additional time required for supervision as it does not generate “billable” hours.
As supervision is crucial for quality therapeutic care, it requires specialized expertise and clinical practice to support clinicians in their work with clients. Supervisory practice has educational standards, practice development, and ethical and legal expectations. Lack of understanding of these elements can affect the supervisee’s experience of supervision and their clinical practice. In fact, supervision serves as a gatekeeper for the therapy profession as its impact extends beyond the quality of care professionals offer to clients. It also influences clinicians’ own well-being, professional identity, and self-esteem.
Counselor growth is an ongoing process,
there will always be more to learn.
