Supervision
The artful integration of clinical skills, education and experience, is designed to ensure the integrity of clinical services to the client and to develop competence in the supervisee. It provides the necessary structure & framework for learning how to apply knowledge, theory, and clinical procedures to work with clients.
Clinical Supervision is the bedrock on which high quality clinical work and consumer safety is built and maintained.
- Training and Certification of Approved Supervisors is a national trend in mental health counseling. Currently, 72% of states require training of LMHC/LPC supervisors, including Massachusetts.
- Quality supervision also encourages and supports the growth and development of clinical staff and fosters staff collaboration and job satisfaction.
