Congratulations on pursuing licensure in Texas to be a Licensed Profession Counselor! Supervision is a key part of the LPC licensure process. It is important to find a supervisor who is qualified and compatible with you. Take your time in finding the right supervisor and be sure to ask plenty of questions before you begin working with them.
As a Texas State Board of Examiners of Professional Counselor approved LPC-Supervisor I have extensive counseling experience. I have more than 10 years of clinical experience working in a variety of settings including agency, inpatient hospital, emergency hospital, partial hospitalization, juvenile probation, and private practice. I have also studied abroad in London and Australia for in-depth training in Neuroscience, sex therapy, as well as Solution-Focused and Narrative Therapy. In addition, I am an Adjunct Professor of Psychology at Texas Wesleyan University.
As a part of supervision, we will meet individually and/or in a group setting on a weekly basis. During the weekly supervision we will discuss clinical from your clients you are seeing and I will provide feedback and guidance to the associate. The supervisee is expected to have a strong ethical foundation, show dedication in their work, and is willing to ask questions. Supervisees will be responsible for keeping an up to date and accurate log of their hours.
If you are interested in supervision please fill out the form on the right and I will follow up with you. |
