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. ![Dr. Vicki Loyer Headshot]() ## Instructor ### Dr. Vicki Loyer (Carlson), PhD, LMFT, Dr. Vicki Loyer (Carlson) is CEO and President of *Blue Door Psychotherapy* and a Clinical Assistant Professor in the University of Arizona’s Department of Psychiatry.
