Supervision For Therapists

I offer two types of supervision, with possible overlap for Idaho therapists who also want to become certified in EFT.

Supervision toward Certification in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

I am a Supervisor Candidate approved by the International Centre for Excellence in EFT.  As such, I work under two Supervisor Candidate Mentors, and hours in supervision* with me will count toward your hours needed for ICEEFT Certification.

*in this context, the term supervision is not clinical supervision but is defined as consultation.  Therapists looking for EFT supervision may be located anywhere in the world.  I also work with therapists who want to advance their EFT skills without necessarily working toward certification.  Click here to learn about the road to EFT Certification.

Supervision for Idaho Therapists

I work with supervisees who hold a basic counseling, social work, or therapist license in the state of Idaho and want to pursue higher licensure (for example, an LPC wanting to work toward LCPC or LMSW wanting to work toward LCSW). I do not provide supervision for unlicensed counselors (such as counseling students) at this time. I am also happy to provide supervision to licensed counselors who are not pursuing additional licensure and are only seeking to develop or enhance their skills in working with couples.

My supervisees will be counselors/therapists interested in advancing their skills in the area of couples therapy using the Emotionally Focused Therapy model. I can work with supervisees who do not yet specialize in couples, but my primary goal in being a supervisor is to expand and advance the practice of skilled couples therapy in Idaho. Thus, a supervisee interested in working with me should at least have the goal of transitioning a large portion of their caseload to couples therapy over the course of their work with me. I will still provide supervision of counselors’ work with their individual clients in the context of our overall focus on couples therapy training and supervision.

Note to non-LPCs: Counselors pursuing advanced licensure in social work and marriage and family therapy will need to verify the rule and law for their licensing; as of the date this is written, MFT and LCSW candidates can obtain a certain number of supervised hours under an LCPC, but will need to obtain the remainder of their supervised hours under a supervisor with their specific license-type.

My Qualifications:
  • Registered Supervisor, State of Idaho
  • Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, State of Idaho
  • EFT Supervisor Candidate, as approved by the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy
  • Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist, granted by the International Centre for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy
As your supervisor, I will offer you:

Focus – We will spend our time in a meaningful way that provides you with a clear sense of progressing in your work. I aim to give specific, clear, and relevant feedback so you’re not left wondering whether you’re growing in your practice.
Skill – Becoming a Certified EFT therapist, I spent many hours being supervised and trained by highly skilled EFT therapists from around the world. As a Certified EFT Therapist and ICEEFT Supervisor Candidate, I continue to meet regularly with other EFT consultants and supervisors to enhance my knowledge and keep my skills sharp.
Warmth – Supervision should be an encouraging process and one where you feel safe to share about your less confident or skilled moments in the therapist chair. To do this, most supervisees need to feel that their supervisor likes, understands, and cares about them. I aim to create a warm, trusting professional relationship where my supervisees can become more confident in themselves as therapists based on being their authentic selves in the supervision process.

Supervision Rates:

My rate for 1 hour of supervision is $70.

I use a licensed version of Zoom to provide virtual supervision sessions. I have limited opportunities for local in-person meetings; in-person meetings will take place in your office on days where I am available to do so, and the fee for in-person meetings is $90/hour.
