FROM OUR DIRECTORY
The Directory's foremost function is to facilitate the search for
supervision. We're set up to support both the supervisor and those
seeking to fulfill supervision hours.
Today we feature our Founder, Dr. Amy Parks, a long-time LPC, Ph.D., and
enthusiastic advocate for all things mental health and clinical
supervision. Based in Virginia, she's also a licensed school
counselor, school psychologist, and clinical supervisor at Dominion
Psychiatric Hospital about 20 minutes
west of Washington, D.C. Her selfless devotion inspires many and
transcends our field through her creation of the CSD
, a platform designed to
promote supervision, collaboration, and clinical techniques that lead to
effective treatment for patients all across the country.
She's an ambitious businesswoman keen on building connections among
mental health professionals and soon-to-be therapists. She explains that
the supervision environment should be, "a safe place to express
yourself and to share your concerns, thoughts, and feelings...and a
space to allow for the unexpected to emerge." Supervision is an
ongoing, communicative process where trainees feel accomplished and move
in the right direction toward growth and success.
When she's not operating her own group practice
, counseling young children,
adolescents, and families, and supervising the next generation of
clinical therapists, Amy participates in industry podcasts, gives
informative interviews, and conducts seminars and workshops to benefit
the future of mental health treatment.

for industry
updates, media buzz, professional podcasts, Continuing Education
courses, and tips and tools to find a supervisor, fulfill state-specific
requirements, and get licensed to practice quickly and effectively!

FROM OUR FIELD
While much of the rise in mental health illness revolves around the
younger generation facing anxiety, depression, addiction, and social
bullying, older adults are dealing with their own health, behavioral,
and social challenges. Awareness and acceptance to seek professional
help are growing, but many adults often go untreated and feel
misinformed, past the age to find healing, and reluctant to dive into
therapy.
According to this article
and the World Health Organization , 15% of adults
60 and older have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder. Those
that live in assisted-living settings and long-term healthcare
facilities tend to suffer more than those living on their own within a
comfortable community. The older population is often more dependent,
pessimistic, and vulnerable; therefore, it's vital that mental health
providers pay attention to this sector and offer advice and techniques
that support resilience and reinforce the ability to make positive
changes to their lifestyle and mindset.
Parents will do anything to ensure the safety and well-being of their
children. And as time evolves, this generation will be tasked to care
for and support the elderly as well as the youth. No matter their age or
circumstance, our loved ones deserve a fair shake and professional
treatment if they opt for it. Caregivers and counselors should be
commended for helping those who struggle with mental health, happiness,
and securing a network of friends, family, and health providers they
trust and respect.

If you're licensed and practicing in today's environment, be proud
of your work and the patients you're healing.
And while our industry is action-packed, it's important to practice
self-care and a work/life balance.
How do you manage your week-to-week workflow? When do you find time to
conduct supervision in addition to your 9-5 responsibilities?
Supervision has rewarding results that sometimes lead to lifelong
relationships. It's more than a full-time job and we salute the
supervisors helping to bridge the gap between therapist and patient.
