Clinical Supervision
Relational, Trauma-Informed Supervision for Psychotherapists in Ontario
A Reflective Space for the Complexity of Clinical Work
As a psychotherapist, you regularly hold complex clinical, relational and ethical responsibilities. You may find yourself questioning a difficult decision, navigating countertransference, managing documentation demands or carrying the emotional weight of the work beyond the end of the day.
Clinical supervision offers a collaborative space to slow down, think openly and feel less alone with these responsibilities. Together, we can strengthen your clinical judgment, explore your use of self and approach uncertainty with greater clarity and confidence.
My supervision style is relational, trauma-informed and attentive to identity, culture, power and context. The goal is not simply to tell you what to do, but to support you in developing a thoughtful and sustainable way of practising.
How Clinical Supervision Can Support You
Supervision is tailored to your experience, practice setting and professional goals. Sessions may focus on a particular client, a broader clinical pattern or the personal and systemic factors shaping your work.
Ethics and Professional Practice
Work through ethical questions, boundaries, documentation, risk, scope of practice and other responsibilities involved in providing safe and accountable care.
Clinical Judgment and Formulation
Strengthen your ability to understand complex presentations, develop thoughtful formulations and make decisions when there is no single obvious answer.
Sustainable and Integrative Practice
Develop a way of working that supports confidence, flexibility and longevity. I draw from relational, trauma-informed, emotion-focused, attachment-based, ACT, CBT, parts work, mindfulness and somatic perspectives.
Use of Self and Relational Dynamics
Explore countertransference, attachment patterns, identity, power and the relational dynamics that arise between therapist and client.
Getting Started with Clinical Supervision
The first step is a free 15-minute consultation. This gives us an opportunity to discuss your supervision needs, professional goals and current stage of practice, and to consider whether working together feels like a good fit.
Supervision is offered virtually to psychotherapists in Ontario. Individual supervision is $180 per 50-minute session. Dyadic supervision is $240 per 50-minute session, divided between two supervisees.
The frequency of meetings can be tailored to your needs, caseload and professional requirements. Supervision may be weekly, biweekly or monthly, with additional consultation arranged when needed.
