Areas of Focus in Supervision
More than just hours on a form, I work with social workers to become the type of clinician you dreamed about being in grad school.
-
Clinical Development
-
Developing a clinical identity and theoretical orientation that's genuinely yours and that you can explain and defend
-
Strengthening how you think through assessment, diagnosis, and treatment planning
-
Recognizing and using counter-transference as useful clinical information and staying grounded in the midst of it
-
Examining how your own identities, biases, and blind spots intersect with your clients' and what that means for the therapeutic relationship
-
-
Ethical & Legal Frameworks
-
Getting familiar with the WAC/RCW requirements, NASW Code of Ethics, and board standards well enough to apply them with confidence in real situations
-
Building documentation systems that work for you and hold up under review
-
-
Career Development
-
Exploring your clinical interests and finding trainings and materials that help you hone them
-
Building toward private practice, a specialization, or whatever comes next after licensure
-
Practicing feedback that's direct and useful, in both directions
-
