How is Clinical Supervision Different With Anna?
As a Florida Qualified Supervisor, I can provide clinical supervision services to RMHCI and RMFTI pursuing licensure in the state of Florida.
My approach to clinical supervision is similar to my approach to therapy. I believe that the goal of supervision is not simply to complete your required hours or to give competent care to your clients. What I teach interns is how to take their skills and their work to the next level. In addition to what you might normally receive from supervision (review of your cases, suggestions for treatment approaches or interventions, addressing countertransference, ethics guidance, etc)., in my supervision work I help you deal with real life complex questions that affect your clients. You'll learn how to balance indirect therapy approaches where you help the client find their own best answers.
I will offer guidance and support to help you gain the confidence and skill necessary to be an effective clinician.
I fully believe, and it will be the cornerstone of our work together as supervisor and supervisee, that the relationship is the agent of change. It is the process that happens within the context of the therapist/client relationship that manifests the healing for the client.
Research shows that it is in fact the quality of the therapeutic relationship that is the best predictor of success across all theoretical orientations. Thus respect will be the foundation of your work with clients and respect will the foundation of our work together as supervisor/supervisee.
You are always able to feel free and open to talk with me about the value you are receiving from your supervision services. In our supervision, you will be seen and heard. You will always be supported and encouraged. I look forward to hearing from you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does your supervisor need to be at your practice location?
No. There only needs to be a licensed mental health professional on the premisses while you are seeing patients if you are in a private-practice setting. However, if you are at a hospital, agency, or doing field work, those rules are different.
Your Qualified Supervisor can supervise all of your cases, regardless of where you are seeing your clients.
Can I have two or more qualified supervisors?
Absolutely. The rule is that each supervisor needs to be clear on which cases they are responsible for. Here's an example of why you may want more than one supervisor: you may be working at an agency where you received free supervision, but find that your supervisor does not have the time to discuss your cases and the issues that are coming up in your work in as much detail as you would like. In that case, your private supervisor can help bridge some of those gaps. When I was an LMFT Intern myself, I did exactly that and discovered the things I learned from the supervisor I hired privately were, in the end, what enabled me to become an effective therapist.
How do I get started?
