About

Clinical supervisors are tasked with overseeing the development, professional socialization, ethical competence and effectiveness of graduate and post-graduate practitioners, often with little to no training in the provision of clinical supervision as a practice.  While there are parallel processes shared with clinical practice, clinical supervision is a discipline of its own and both supervisors and supervisees benefit from expanding education in this arena.   

Clinical supervisors play a vital role in guiding the development, professional identity, ethical competence, and effectiveness of graduate and post-graduate practitioners. Yet, many step into this role with little to no formal training in clinical supervision as a distinct practice. While clinical supervision shares parallels with direct clinical work, it is a specialized discipline in its own right. Both supervisors and supervisees benefit from continued education in this area, ensuring more effective mentorship, ethical oversight, and professional growth.

This course is designed for LCSWs, LPCs, MFTs, and LSWs who are current or aspiring clinical supervisors. Whether working in agency/administrative roles or private practice, past participants have found this course highly beneficial. Through a combination of readings, lectures, and reflective exercises, participants will deepen their understanding of clinical supervision as a distinct discipline.
