SUPERVISION, CONSULTATION AND MENTORING AAMFT CANDIDATES
Supervision for Counseling Psychology Interns/Candidates/Associates/Groups
I supervise because I have a passion for teaching and nurturing others into becoming the most authentic version of themselves as therapists, counselors and healers. This implies that I am not interested in creating clones! Because I am so serious about being an excellent and creditable Supervisor, I completed my certification to become an AAMFT (American Association of Marriage & Family Therapists) Approved Supervisor.
My supervisory style is direct though empathic, reliable, professional, encouraging and compassionate. I aim to create a joyful, safe learning space while including humor, authenticity and presence. Using a Somatic, Transpersonal and Systems framework, I encourage my supervisees to find and follow their intuition balanced with learning AAMFT core competencies, logic, theory, legal and ethical sense. I appreciate using audio recordings and video of trainee/intern work when available. I am detailed and conscious of following best practices for progress and process notes and HIPAA compliant records.
Also included:

Individual Supervision can be done weekly or every two weeks.
Group Supervision meets 1-3 times per month for 2 hours.
Special resources I offer:
In former careers, I held positions in more traditionally corporate settings such as an Associate Creative Director, Art Director, Marketing Consultant and Journalist which allows me to offer a certain professionalism, advertising and marketing savvy to my trainees/interns. As a yoga instructor, practitioner, Unity Sunday school teacher and long time meditator, I offer teaching, Somatic awareness and mindfulness including transpersonal and spiritual concepts to my work and relationships.

CONSULTATION
Working in the mental health field can be isolating. Sometimes we just need some support, new ideas, reflections and direction. Brand new therapists may need support setting up their business and honing in on their niché. Similar to how I approach supervision and mentorship, I provide consultation to licensed professionals who also want to better understand self employment, Somatic Psychology, Conscious Uncoupling, Family Systems, and Laws of Attraction.

MENTORSHIP FOR AAMFT SUPERVISOR CANDIDATES
My approach to Mentoring is similar to what is described above with the same fee structure and less hand holding. Supervision mentoring is a service provided by a current AAMFT Approved Supervisor & Clinical Fellow to a supervisor candidate as part of the training requirements for the Approved Supervisor designation. This has also been referred to as supervision of supervision. The major focus in supervision mentoring is on the development of the supervisor candidate’s supervisory skills as opposed to a primary focus on trainees’ client situations. This experience should include live or recorded supervision sessions, and may include no more than three supervisor candidates per session if done in a group. Mentoring may occur via real-time technology-assisted means, like video, that are congruent with AAMFT ethics.
