**Supervising family therapists requires more than teaching technique—it demands a vision for how change unfolds within relationships. Without it, clinicians risk addressing surface issues while missing the deeper patterns that sustain them.**

This training equips supervisors with the skills to guide family therapists toward insight, clarity, and lasting change by learning to “see the how.”

**Dr. Vicki Loyer, PhD, LMFT**, draws from decades of leadership in the field of marriage and family therapy, incorporating systems thinking, developmental theory, and equine-assisted psychotherapy. Co-instructor **Tara Gardenhire, MA, LMFT**, brings a trauma-informed, whole-health lens to supervision and family systems work. Together, they offer practical, grounded guidance for helping clinicians access deeper process-focused thinking in their therapy sessions.

Through real-world clinical examples, interactive discussion, and experiential insights, Dr. Loyer and Ms. Gardenhire help supervisors move from content-focused oversight to modeling the art of process-based family therapy. Their approach fosters the supervisor-clinician alliance and ensures that what happens in supervision mirrors the best of what happens in therapy.

**Topics include** tracking systemic family processes, shifting from solving to guiding, using metaphor to increase insight, understanding the role of power and privilege, assessing developmental and ecological tasks in family systems, and working with isomorphic parallels in supervision. Participants will also explore how to help clinicians recognize and validate client strengths and expand therapeutic possibilities.

### **Key Takeaways:**

\- **Guide supervisees from content to process:** Learn how to help clinicians shift their focus from storytelling to meaning-making in family therapy.
\- **Expand clinical insight through parallel process:** Understand how dynamics in supervision mirror those in therapy—and how to leverage that insight for growth.
\- **Support culturally attuned supervision:** Incorporate power, privilege, and systemic awareness into supervision to support inclusive, respectful client care.

### **Why This Course?**

\- **Led by expert supervisors:** Dr. Loyer and Ms. Gardenhire bring rich teaching experience and deep clinical wisdom, rooted in systems theory and real-world application.
\- **Integrates systems and supervision theory:** This training blends theory with direct application—helping supervisors coach clinicians through complex family work.
\- **Offered by a trusted CE provider:** Telehealth Certification Institute is known for quality, ethics, and excellence in behavioral health continuing education.

### **Learning Objectives:**

\- Work with process rather than content.
\- Explain the role of power and privilege in families.
\- Use parallel process to personalize supervision.

**If you're ready to move beyond content-focused supervision and learn how to help your clinicians engage in transformational family therapy, this course offers a clear path forward.** Embrace a deeper vision of clinical supervision—one that fosters true change in both the therapy room and the supervision space.

I completed the Telehealth Training. This training was very effective for me because it was self-paced. I was able to work at my own pace to fully grasp the information. In addition, the various graphics and explanations made retaining the information better for my learning style. I also enjoyed the small quizzes at the end that helped increase my understanding and application of the information. I will definitely recommend this course to other clinicians!
