Supporting the development of thoughtful, reflective clinicians

Supervision is more than fulfilling licensure requirements. It's an opportunity to develop as a clinician, to understand how your own experiences shape your work, and to cultivate your own way of being with clients.

I offer supervision for Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associates (LMHCAs) in Washington State who are working with adult individual clients. My approach is grounded in relational and psychodynamic principles, but I work with supervisees across theoretical orientations, as part of developing as a therapist is discovering what feels true and authentic to you.

Supervision Options

Private Practice Development Track with Insurance Billing

This track is for associates who want to build a private practice and need support with both the clinical and practical aspects of getting started. Because associates cannot independently panel with insurance companies, this arrangement allows you to bill insurance for your services under my contracts while receiving comprehensive support in developing your practice.

What this includes:

Clinical supervision:

• Unlimited supervision meetings

• Case consultation and guidance

• Support developing your clinical identity and theoretical approach

• Exploration of countertransference and relational dynamics

• A supervisory relationship that supports your growth as a clinician

Private practice support:

• Ability to bill insurance for your clinical services under my provider contracts

• Access to a professional billing service that handles claims, reimbursement, and insurance communication

• Guidance with business setup and practical aspects of running a private practice

• Support building your caseload from the ground up if you're just starting out

• Ongoing consultation about the realities of private practice

Fee structure: 70/30 division of gross revenue. You keep 70% of reimbursements and fees for your clinical work, and 30% covers supervision, billing services, use of insurance contracts, and practice development support.

This arrangement allows you to start seeing clients and generating income while building the foundation of your practice, without the barrier of not being able to bill insurance independently.

Adjunct Supervision for Specialized Cases

If you already have a primary supervisor but want consultation on specific cases or populations, I offer adjunct supervision. This can be particularly helpful for associates working with eating disorders, OCD, or other cases where additional specialized consultation would support your clinical development.

What this includes:

• Focused consultation on specific cases or clinical concerns

• Support working with eating disorders, body image concerns, OCD, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties

• Exploration of countertransference and how these cases show up for you

• Flexible meeting frequency based on your needs

Fee: Hourly rate of $150 per session

Standard Hourly Supervision

This option is for associates who are employed in a group or agency setting and need supervision to fulfill licensure requirements, or who prefer an hourly fee arrangement.

What this includes:

• Individual supervision meetings (one hour per forty hours of clinical work, per Washington State requirements)

• Case consultation and clinical guidance

• Support in developing your theoretical orientation and person-of-the-therapist awareness

• Exploration of countertransference and how your own experiences show up in clinical work

• A relational approach to supervision that mirrors the depth and curiosity we bring to clinical work

Fee: Hourly rate of $150 for supervision sessions

My Approach to Supervision

Supervision, like therapy, is a relational process. My goal is not to train you to work the way I work, but to help you discover and develop your own authentic way of being with clients.

This means we pay attention to more than just case management and intervention strategies. We explore how you experience your clients, what gets activated in you, and how your own history and relational patterns show up in the work. Understanding countertransference and developing self-awareness is central to becoming a thoughtful, effective clinician.

The supervisory relationship itself becomes a place to explore what it means to be a therapist: how to hold complexity, sit with not knowing, manage the emotional weight of the work, and develop confidence in your clinical judgment.

I provide supervision for work with anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders and body image concerns, relationship difficulties, and other presenting issues within an adult individual therapy frame.
