Q&A for Potential LPC Associates & LMFT Associates Seeking Supervision
What is your orientation/approach to therapy?
I operate mostly from attachment and relational-based models. With couples, I use Gottman, Emotion-Focused Therapy, & Psychobiological-based approaches.
What style do you use in supervision? Group vs Individual?
I use both individual and group supervision alternating per week, for a total of 5 hours per month. (1 hour of individual one week, 1.5 hours of group the following week, etc.) I currently have 3 supervision groups that consist of 4-5 associates each.
What are your expectations of associates?
I expect associates to have a lot of questions; to be authentic and honest about their overall experience with clients, internship, and the supervisory process; to continuously be working towards balancing self-care and career life (and to have struggled with it!); to be open to growth and challenges within the field of counseling; to not be afraid to admit to mistakes or ask for help; to practice ethically and competently, and to use supervision as a key means of support and guidance within the internship process.
What unique qualities do you bring into your supervision?
I offer a very eclectic approach to supervision. If private practice is a goal, we'll discuss marketing, networking, developing business models, and how to acquire clients. If you're working at an agency, we'll discuss agency dynamics and how to best advocate for yourself and your work within an agency. I have extensive knowledge in both settings, as operating a private practice and having served as the Clinical Director of a grief and loss non-profit agency. I have some opportunities for associates to work within my practice. We discuss self-care in addition to clinical cases and treatment, and continue to discuss how to avoid burnout and turn this work into a career where you can make a living! I’m very personally supportive of my associates and care about what’s going on in your life, and how it impacts you (not just your work with clients).
How long have you been in practice? Supervising?
I have been a licensed therapist for over 14 years; supervising for over 11 years. Over this time, I have provided state approved supervision for over 47 associates and counseling students. Supervision is a strong passion of mine and a priority in my practice.
How much do you charge per session or per week/month?
I charge $100 per session, whether that's individual (1 hour) or group (1.5 hours).
Do you include emergency consultations?
Emergency consultations and brief check-ins are included (and encouraged!) in the fees listed above.
Testimonials
“Brittany has been an incredible supervisor! She was there for me throughout all the difficulties in my internship. She also helped me understand what I need to know to build and run a practice. I’m grateful I got to work with her.”
“The reason I have the confidence, knowledge, and preparation to go into private practice is because of your supervision…I still have my notes from when you guided me on ways to do this. You gave me such a great road map! ”
“Brittany goes above and beyond as a supervisor. There were many times where she took time out of her day to answer my questions or ask the State Board for more information. She made this process so much easier.”
“I had a horrible experience with my first supervisor, then luckily was able to switch to Brittany! Brittany is kind, helpful, supportive, and ethical. She knows a lot of people in the therapist community too, which has been really helpful.”
