Course Description

The LPC and LMFT Supervisor Training prepares participants to become supervisors who identify the needs of their supervisees whether supervising for employers or as supervisors for state licensing boards. This training is unique from other supervisor trainings, with an emphasis on building relationships with supervisees through a selection of activities and creating a plan for growth for each supervisee. A recognition of the roles and responsibilities of supervision, as well as a comparison of supervision theories, including theory-based, non theory-based, and newer research-based perspectives, are covered. The process of interviewing, selecting a supervisee, and ethical guidelines in supervision are examined. Legal and ethical issues in supervision are identified and participants are provided with electronic documents and ethical paperwork. Participants select from methods, techniques, and modalities of supervision (including the use of technology) to personalize and accommodate individual clinical settings. The training also includes electronic documents of evaluations for both supervisee and supervisor to use throughout the supervision process. Participants are given activities and assessments to encourage dialogue as culturally responsive supervisors.
