Clinical Supervision

Entering the field as a new BIPOC therapist can be exciting, but also a little overwhelming without the right professional supports, especially when you are hoping to begin a private practice. Most therapists are not business people, but it takes a certain mindset to translate your new academic knowledge into creating meaningful work for yourself that can generate sufficient income. It can be a game-changer to access the guidance and experience of a more seasoned professional, but this connection often takes years to develop. Clinical group supervision is a way to efficiently formalize your connection to a successful and seasoned therapist, get professional oversight and support with your caseload, and connect with a group of other BIPOC therapists who are navigating the same path.

What is Clinical Group Supervision?

What do you need to know to run your own business? How do you attract and retain clients? What do you do if your files are subpoenaed? Who do you turn to when your client is in crisis? What should your website look like? How often should you be checking email? How do you support difficult clients? Where does your own cultural background, personal development, and spirutuality fit in to being a therapist?
 
There are thousands of questions new BIPOC therapists have to answer when they want to begin or super-charge their private practice. Unfortunately, when you graduate from your academic program, there is rarely direction or support in the practical elements of working as a private mental health professional, especially if you hope to with with faith and ethnic/cultural communities where mental health stigma is prevalent. Our solution to this inevitable hurdle is Clinical Group Supervision for BIPOC counsellors.

Supervision is a professional and ethical obligation in the field of mental health and has been developed to both protect the public and encourage professional growth and accountability. Your Clinical Supervisor guides your through clinical conundrums and professional blocks while supporting you to develop your unique therapeutic voice. Finding a qualified BIPOC Clinical Supervisor can feel like finding true love - we know we want it, but aren't always sure where to look! We have taken out the guesswork of finding a supervisor and provide you with best-in-class clinical supervision. There is also incredible power in a room full of minds that are working on a problem together. Joining our BIPOC Supervision group gives you an instant community of colleagues that is guided by a seasoned expert.

The next steps...

Once you decide you want to join our community of therapists, you will simply register for the next group. You will be emailed a questionnaire to ensure you are a good fit with our group and also to ask any questions you have about the supervisor's theoretical training and approach, required prep work, and expectations of therapists during supervision meetings. A Supervision Agreement Form will be sent to you once you return the Questionnaire.

As part of our community, you will also be invited to the Annual Supervision Symposium where all therapists in our program come together for an online interactive workshop. 

In order to ensure each and every therapist is well-supported, we only take a very limited number of new therapists each year, and registration for supervision sessions is on a first come, first serve basis.
