Trauma-Informed Supervision: Cultivating Well-Being and Competence in Practice

Enroll in the Online Self-Study and complete the training on your own schedule.
1.5 CE hours available for behavioral health clinicians completing the Online Self-Study

Trauma isn’t just showing up in your supervisees’ caseloads—it’s entering the supervision room, shaping how clinicians process risk, boundaries, and the work they carry home. When supervision becomes the frontline of protection, it can either buffer burnout and vicarious trauma—or unintentionally amplify them. What’s at stake is more than clinical skill: supervisee safety, ethical integrity, and sustainable practice.

This course cuts through vague “trauma-informed” talk and shows supervisors how to operationalize it—turning safety, trust, collaboration, empowerment, and cultural humility into concrete supervisory moves that strengthen the alliance, improve decision-making, and prevent ethical drift. You’ll learn to use supervision as a protective factor for clients and clinicians alike, not just a place to review cases.

Amie Bryant, LCSW, CAS, ACS, brings two decades across college counseling leadership, private practice, and wilderness therapy. A trauma therapist and EMDR consultant, she unites trauma treatment expertise with deep supervisory experience, translating complex ideas into day-to-day supervisory actions that clinicians can actually use.

With a warmly relational, reflective style, Amie begins by grounding participants to “arrive,” then models the pacing, transparency, and humility that foster nervous-system regulation and real learning. Expect live reflective prompts, parallel-process case discussion, and collaborative problem-solving that normalize supervisee reactions, differentiate countertransference from competence issues, and end with strengths-based debriefs to build sustainability—exactly the tone you can recreate with your own team.

Participants will learn how to define trauma and clinical supervision through a multi-layered lens; strengthen the supervisory alliance as a buffer against indirect trauma; develop trauma-competent clinicians who work within scope, set ethical boundaries, and seek help appropriately; connect stage-oriented treatment (safety/stability → processing → integration) to supervisory decisions; differentiate burnout, secondary traumatic stress, and vicarious trauma; use regulation strategies after difficult encounters; and integrate intersectionality and organizational realities (policies, forms, caseloads) so supervision is both personally and systemically trauma-informed.

Amie Bryant, LCSW, CAS, ACS, is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Addictions Specialist, EMDRIA Certified Therapist and Approved Consultant, and Approved Clinical Supervisor, specializing in work with adults and older adolescents. She has been in private practice for over 10 years and also spent 10 years working at the Fort Lewis College Counseling Center as a counselor, Training Coordinator for the Graduate Clinical Training Program, and ultimately as Director of the Center. Her previous experience includes work in schools, integrated healthcare, wilderness therapy, juvenile detention, emergency services, adult outpatient mental health, substance use treatment and prevention, and as Adjunct Faculty for the University of Denver Graduate School of Social Work Four Corners Program.

She is passionate about working with people to improve wellness by supporting them in developing a strong and healthy sense of self. Using a relational approach to cognitive behavioral therapies, she believes that through the therapeutic relationship, acquiring skills and knowledge, and increasing self-awareness and understanding, we can learn to respond to our difficulties and discomfort rather than react to them.

Key Takeaways:

  • Relational, reflective supervision that models safety, trust, collaboration, empowerment, and cultural humility—so supervisees can replicate the same with clients.

  • Sustainable, ethical practice: concrete strategies to mitigate burnout, vicarious trauma, and secondary traumatic stress while improving judgment and care quality.

  • System and identity in view: embed intersectionality and organizational context into every supervisory plan to reduce risk and increase equity.

Why this course?

  • Supervision is a proven protective factor—learn to make it intentionally trauma-informed, not merely case oversight.

  • Amie Bryant’s cross-setting leadership and trauma specialty translate principle into practice you can implement this week.

  • Built for any setting (agency, private practice, training programs) with tools that scale to your team and context.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify and define trauma, clinical supervision, and trauma-informed care in ethical, developmental, and systemic terms.

  • Apply trauma-informed principles to cultivate competent, boundaried, and resilient clinicians who recognize limits and seek supervision appropriately.

  • Integrate trauma-stewardship practices (regulation, reflective inquiry, parallel process awareness) that support supervisee growth and well-being.

Are your supervision meetings quietly mirroring the trauma your team treats—or actively repairing it? This course gives you the clarity, structure, and language to make supervision a reliable source of protection, development, and durable excellence.
