New virtual Groups starting february and april 2025!

About Supervision:

I am a board-approved supervisor in the State of Texas and I provide both individual or group supervision.  In order to be under supervision and to practice clinical social work in the State of Texas, you must hold a masters degree in social work from an accredited university, and be licensed in the State of Texas as an LMSW. The applicant completes a minimum of 100 hours of face-to-face supervision with a board approved supervisor (that is me!), while simultaneously gaining 3000 hours of professional work experience. To obtain your 3000 work hours, expect to work full time about 30 hours a week for 24 months or part time about 15 hours a week for 48 months.  You must be under supervision and meet with a state approved supervisor during that whole period. You are required to have at least 4 hours weekly of clinical work. I can provide an opportunity for your 4 hours of clinical work through my practice. (This can all be confusing... good news is I'VE GOT YOU!) 

About me:

• Licensed social worker since 2017
• Experience includes working with all ages across the life span, individuals and families
• Background: Senior care, inner-city schools, private practice, group work, and past MSW adjunct professor
• Trauma trained

What to expect:

• Two 2-hour virtual groups per month
• Small group size (space is limited to a max of 4 per group)
• Individual supervision session upon request outside of group (for an additional fee)
• Quick check-ins available when needed, weekly
• Learning oriented with an empathetic, supportive, safe and encouraging environment to build your clinical skills and develop a foundation for clinical practice
• Combined learning opportunities building on the foundational skills learned in school and case consultation in each supervision session 
• A Humanistic, Developmental, Integrative, Strengths based style of supervision that builds upon the knowledge, skills and strengths you already have as a social worker
• Clear feedback, active listening, and creating a safe space for open dialogue
• Finding your UNIQUE style as a therapist
• Emphasis on self-care to avoid second hand trauma and compassion fatigue
• Opportunity for paid part-time clinical hours in a private practice,serving women and teens, while you work your current job (to get those 4 hours weekly of clinical experience)

What I look for in a supervisee:

• A person who is self reflective, open to growth, willing to admit when they do not know, compassionate, kind, authentic, works independently but seeks advice when needed and is self motivated
• Is relational but has appropriate boundaries and respects the boundaries of others
• Asks for permission and is a rule follower
• Desires being a part of a team 
• Adheres to The Social Work Code of Ethics, exhibits ethical behaviors and has integrity both in work and personal life
• Must be an LMSW in Texas and live in Texas
• Looking for LMSW's who are motivated by an holistic approach to healing and has a desire to work with trauma in their career

What are the first steps:

• Finding a supervisor is the hardest part. You will spend the next 2 years (minimum) in this relationship. Make sure your feel aligned relationally, spiritually and in social work values. Make sure their supervision style will make you feel safe and foster your learning
