Supervision for Licensure

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor, I offer individual supervision for provisionally licensed counselors who are seeking to meet requirements for full licensure in North Carolina. The NCBLCMHC requires one hour of individual supervision for every 40 hours of work as a counselor when under supervision. My fee is $125 per individual supervision session. At this time, I do not offer group supervision, though supervisees are welcome to discuss this possibility with me. My group rate is $50 per group session.

To see if we are a good fit to work together, I will ask you to participate in a free consultation call and complete a screening form. I also invite you to review my Supervisory Professional Disclosure Form. Contact me if you are interested in potentially working together!

At this time, my private practice is not a site for practicum or internship. I do not provide site supervision for these training experiences through Salem Bloom Counseling.

My Approach to Supervision

My approach is influenced by developmental and trauma-informed models of supervision. I aim to consider supervisee developmental level as I plan for sessions, and remain flexible as supervisee needs change throughout the course of supervision. Supervision is tailored to meet the supervisee’s developmental and conceptual levels, while ultimately being motivated by the well-being of the client(s). I additionally aim to weave together my knowledge of trauma and the supervisory process to increase counselor capacity to respond to client trauma and to cope with their own exposure to traumatic clinical material.

A supervisor often serves many roles, including that of teacher, consultant, and/or counselor. It is important to note the evaluative nature of a supervisory relationship, and because of that, supervisees must remain aware that personal concerns that arise in the context of supervision will be processed only to the extent that they impact clinical work.

I co-construct goals to the supervisees’ needs according to: individual contracts, performance and experience, reason for supervision (licensure/internship/credentialing), and in accordance with current standards of practice and ethics in the field. I provide supervisees with verbal feedback continuously, and written feedback as needed. I work to follow trauma-informed care and supervision principles through all aspects of supervision, both administrative and clinical, as much as possible.

Supervision Experience

My supervision training includes two academic courses in my doctoral program on supervision; a practicum experience involving supervision of multiple students’ counseling skills in role plays; and three internships supervising Master’s students during their Advanced Practicum and Internship. I additionally have three years of experience offering site supervision to MA level students in school and clinical mental health settings. I received my supervision license from the North Carolina Board of Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselors in September, 2021. I have additionally worked as a counselor in North Carolina for eleven years. You are welcome to view my CV for additional information about my professional experiences and qualifications.
