DESCRIPTION
The LPC and LMFT Supervisor Training prepares participants to become a supervisor and identify the needs of their supervisee whether supervising for their employer or as a supervisor for state licensing boards. This training is unique from other Supervisor Trainings with an emphasis on building a relationship through a selection of activities and creating a plan for growth for a 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.
