Our client’s expectations, and our ability to create solid, positive expectations for treatment outcomes, go a long way in how things actually play out in our work.

July 2020 Clinical Supervision Topic: Congruence and Genuineness
I’m looking forward to this month’s topic. I’ve been thinking of it so much in light of the Black Lives Matter movement and the ways white supremacy shows up in my work as a social worker and clinical supervisor. And gosh, it sure shows up a lot…
June 2020 Clinical Supervision Topic: Let's Talk About Race, Power, Privilege and Oppression
On May 26th, 2020, Memorial Day, George Floyd was killed by a police officer holding him down with his knee on his neck for almost nine minutes. I know you have been closely watching the protests and the calls for a stronger stance against racism, a call for us all to be anti-racists.
May 2020 Clinical Supervision Topic: Unconditional Positive Regard
For may we’re continuing our discussion of the common factors theory and focusing on unconditional positive regard. Come get support from your clinical community while sharpening your technical skills. You’ll leave sessions feeling connected and with some clearer ideas of how to intentionally do your work.
April 2020 Clinical Supervision Topic: Therapeutic Alliance pt. 2
For our clinical supervision sessions in April, we’re going to create some space to discuss the personal and professional impacts of COVID-19 and also continue our conversations around therapeutic alliance. We’ll keep it simple, compassionate and supportive this month. I know you are all strong and competent, but you are also carrying a lot. It’s my hope that our work together makes you feel not alone, and gives you more creativity, self-and-other-compassion, and some joy as you work through this time.
March 2020 Clinical Supervision Topic: Therapeutic Alliance pt. 1
Our clinical supervision sessions are for marriage and family therapist interns, licensed professional counselor interns and social work associates. We cover the common factors each month. This month we’ll focus on the therapeutic alliance. We’ll read an article and come ready to discuss!

February 2020 Clinical Supervision Topic: Empathy
For February we are talking about love, and by love I mean empathy. When do you feel more connected than when someone really understands your life experience in a compassionate, accurate way?
January 2020 Clinical Supervision Topic: Goal Consensus & Collaboration
For January all of our clinical supervision sessions will be centered around learning about the Common Factors and goal consensus and collaboration. Being on the same page as your client starts with knowing what they identify as the problem, and what they believe will be the solution. From there, you brainstorm, explore, and negotiate until you’re both ready to start the work together.
