Creating the Road Map for Effective Supervision

Description

Clinical supervision is one of the most impactful roles in behavioral health—and also one of the most complex. Without clear structure and preparation, supervision can quickly become overwhelming for both parties.

Whether you’re stepping into the role for the first time or seeking to refine your current approach, this course provides the practical guidance and confidence you need to create a strong supervisory foundation and support the development of ethical, competent clinicians.

Her teaching is rooted in real-world experience and a passion for mentorship.

Amie takes a clear, supportive, and intentional approach to clinical supervision. She integrates cognitive-behavioral and relational methods with an emphasis on structure, documentation, self-awareness, and supervisory presence—ensuring her strategies are both clinically sound and immediately applicable.

This course walks participants through the four foundational steps to effective supervision: creating a vision, planning and preparation, navigating the supervisory journey, and successfully terminating the supervisory relationship.
