Clinical Supervision
For individuals seeking LPC licensure through the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) #C6821 in Oregon. I have completed the initial and ongoing requirements, and received state board authorization to supervise pre-licensed student interns and registered associates pursuing LPC licensure.
My primary professional focus is on private practice, where I specialize in working with adult individuals and couples. With formal training and hands-on experience in therapeutic methodologies such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Restoration Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I’ve worked with individuals ranging from 6 years old to adulthood.
My background encompasses varied settings, including private practice, community-based clinics, and county mental health. I am well-prepared to provide supervision in these broad areas. If you have specific questions or require further details, please contact me directly.
I approach supervision from a developmental perspective working with the therapist in a style that matches their skill level and experience. I provide ongoing evaluation and supportive challenge to the therapist’s increasing mastery of therapeutic skills, self-awareness and ability to meet their clients in a way that is most beneficial for their sessions. The supervisory relationship will adjust to meet the needs of the supervisee as their therapeutic skills and growth advance in the relationship.
Live observation, audio or video tapes, case or process notes are all utilized in the supervisory process. I will assign homework to further the supervision process and to enhance and develop the importance of self-awareness within any therapeutic relationship.
Supervision is private but not confidential. Although the confidentiality of your clients and related documentation is confidential, evaluative feedback may be shared with the state licensing board, employers, and other parties as deemed necessary and/or appropriate by this supervisor.
Under a board approved plan, evaluation will be an ongoing part of supervision that will take place informally in every session and formally every quarter or if in school, whenever the formal evaluations are due.
I abide by the Oregon Board of Licensed Professional Counselors and Therapists ethics. This includes the Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 675 (2003), the Oregon Administrative Rules (OARs) Chapter 833, and the 2014 American Counseling Association (ACA) Code of Ethics as required by the state of Oregon. Additionally, I also abide by the CCE Approved Clinical Supervisor (ACS) Code of Ethics. The codes of ethics will be used often in our time together and supervisees are asked to bring a supervision folder containing these items to each supervision session.
The standard fee for supervision is $150 per hour (individual supervision). There is no fee for graduate student interns who are also completing their practicum and/or internship with Rising Strong Counseling, or if an agreement is made between employer/agency and supervisor to receive direct pay.
