Becoming a confident therapist takes more than completing hours and checking boxes. Supervision should be a place where you can ask hard questions, think deeply about your clients, make mistakes, strengthen your clinical judgment, and gradually develop a therapeutic style that feels like your own.

I am an LPC-S in Texas offering external supervision for LPC-Associates. My supervision style is supportive, relational, and lovingly direct. I want you to feel safe enough to say, “I have no idea what to do with this client,” while also knowing that I am going to challenge you to think critically, trust yourself, and continue growing. My clinical work is primarily with adults and is rooted in trauma-informed care, EMDR, IFS/parts work, attachment, and nervous system regulation.

What Supervision With Me Looks Like

Our time together is about much more than reviewing your caseload.

We will talk about the clients who leave you thinking after the session is over. We will slow down complicated cases, look for patterns, explore what may be happening beneath the presenting symptoms, and consider what your client may need next.

We will also pay attention to you as the therapist. That means noticing when a client activates something in you, when you feel pressure to fix, rescue, prove yourself, avoid conflict, or have all the answers. Learning to recognize your own responses is an important part of becoming a strong and sustainable clinician.

Supervision may include:

• Case conceptualization and treatment planning

• Trauma-informed assessment and treatment

• EMDR-informed case conceptualization and preparation

• IFS and parts-informed approaches

• Nervous system regulation and stabilization

• Working with complex or high-acuity clients

• Ethics, boundaries, and difficult clinical decisions

• Documentation and clinical justification

• Countertransference and therapist reactions

• Developing confidence in your clinical judgment

• Finding your own therapeutic voice

• Preventing burnout and creating sustainable boundaries

You do not need to become a therapist who practices exactly like I do. My goal is to help you understand why you are doing what you are doing so you can make thoughtful clinical decisions with increasing confidence and independence.

A Place to Bring the Hard Stuff

There will be sessions when you feel confident about your work and sessions when you wonder whether you know what you're doing at all. Both belong in supervision.

You can bring the session that went beautifully, the client you feel stuck with, the ethical situation you keep thinking about, the intervention that fell flat, or the moment you wish you could do over.

Good supervision isn't about pretending you already know everything. It is about developing the ability to slow down, stay curious, recognize what you don't know, and determine your next best clinical step.

Building a Sustainable Career

I also enjoy helping Associates think beyond their current placement and begin considering the kind of therapist and career they want to build.

For Associates interested in private practice, supervision can include mentoring around topics such as identifying your niche, developing a professional identity, understanding the realities of private practice, setting boundaries around your time and availability, and thinking through the transition from Associate to independently licensed clinician.

The goal isn't simply to reach 3,000 hours. It is to arrive at independent licensure feeling prepared to actually practice independently.

You May Be a Good Fit If...

You are an LPC-Associate in Texas who works primarily with adults and wants supervision that goes deeper than case updates and paperwork.

You value organization, clear and timely communication, curiosity, feedback, self-reflection, ethical practice, and continued learning. You want a supervisor who will support you while also being willing to ask difficult questions, point out patterns, and lovingly challenge you when needed.

You don't have to know exactly what kind of therapist you want to become yet. That's part of what supervision is for.

External LPC Supervision

I provide external supervision only, which means Associates must already have their own clinical placement and be permitted by their site to receive supervision externally.

Supervision is provided virtually to LPC-Associates practicing in Texas.

If you are looking for a supervisor and think we may be a good fit, I would love to learn more about where you are in the Associate process, the population you work with, and what you hope to gain from supervision.
