Subject: So Many Steps to Consider when Selecting a Supervisor
FROM OUR DIRECTORY
Counseling and supervision are full-time jobs in themselves and we commend the caregiving clinicians across the states dialed in and doubling down by healing patients and training the next cohort of mental health practitioners.
The CSD is proud to have on board Clarksville, Tennessee’s Valarie Harris, LPC, NBCCH, and Founder of Trauma & Therapy Center of Tennessee. Valarie is a trauma therapist who built a million-dollar teaching practice in three years! She created the Intern Development Model, which provides strategies for developing student interns into competent, confident clinicians who become hungry, grateful hires who stay! As the founder of Educate & Elevate, she helps practice owners transform their services into thriving teaching practices that raise value, revenue, and impact without chaos, confusion, or overwhelm! To jump on the waiting list for the next cohort, sign up here!
She strives to be a good fit for clinical development and adds, “My supervision model is developmental, trauma-informed, and attachment-based. My clinical work is informed by Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, Existential, Psychodrama (Experiential), and Neurobiology (and) I utilize the clinical frameworks of the finest experts in our field.” Clinical protégés deserve a supervisor with passion and purpose. Valarie adds, “I absolutely love working with new clinicians! I still get so much joy watching clinicians develop and grow!” Follow Valarie on Instagram “on a mission to make the world more trauma-informed,” as she says, a journey she lives and breathes every day.
When recent grads and aspiring clinicians start their search for supervision, they often don’t know where to start or what they should be looking for. Here’s a checklist of criteria from The University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia:
Clinical supervision is a mandatory step that if performed productively, can be a major milestone in the advancement of your career. Take the time to research, interview, and select the right supervisor for you.
