Description

You’re not just guiding your supervisees, you’re impacting every client they’ll work with or clinician they mentor.

It’s a lot of pressure - pressure you thought you had under control …

… until you hit real challenges with supervisees who are stuck, resistant to feedback, facing burnout, or even traumatized.

Suddenly the basic frameworks/models/theories just didn’t cut it anymore … right?

That’s why we created this advanced clinical supervision program with supervision expert Dr. Sonja Sutherland, LPC!

This isn’t just another introductory training; it’s a comprehensive program designed to help you master the complex, high-level skills required to navigate even the most challenging supervisory situations. You’ll develop the tools to assess your supervisees’ developmental stages with precision, tailor strategies for their unique needs, and create an atmosphere that promotes growth, engagement, and clinical excellence all while being culturally responsive.

Dr. Sutherland will also show you how to:

  • Manage resistant or burned-out supervisees by using tailored strategies that address their unique challenges and support their growth.
  • Make tough ethical decisions with confidence using advanced frameworks that ensure clarity in complex situations.
  • Confidently practice culturally responsive supervision, with tools to support supervisees from diverse backgrounds and life experiences.
  • Apply real-world case studies and practical tools that you can integrate into your practice immediately, strengthening your supervision skills right away.
  • And much more!

This training will give you the advanced supervision skills so many other trainings just don’t offer
