Choosing the Right Qualified Supervisor
Finding a Qualified Supervisor is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern (rmhci).
You're not simply choosing someone to sign off on your supervision hours. You're choosing someone you'll spend hundreds of hours learning from throughout the early years of your career.
Many interns wonder:
-
How do I know if a supervisor is the right fit?
-
Will they actually teach me?
-
Can I ask questions without feeling judged?
-
What if I don't know what I'm doing yet?
These are normal questions to have.
My goal isn't simply to help you earn your hours for licensure. My goal is to help you become a more confident, thoughtful, and psychologically flexible therapist.

Building confidence as a new therapist
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by a difficult case or simply wondering, "Am I doing this right?" supervision is a place where curiosity is welcomed and learning is expected.
It's Okay Not to Have All the Answers
One of the biggest fears new therapists carry is the belief that they're supposed to know everything.
The truth is, every experienced therapist was once a new clinician asking the very same questions.
Supervision is where you're supposed to bring uncertainty.
It's where you're supposed to ask the questions you don't yet know how to answer.
It's where clinical confidence is built—not because you never make mistakes, but because you learn how to think through them thoughtfully and ethically.
My Approach to Supervision
My supervision style is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed care, attachment and somatic parts work, and psychological flexibility.
I believe the best supervision creates space for both challenge and compassion.
I'll encourage you to think critically, remain curious, and stay connected to your values as a therapist rather than striving for perfection.
Because becoming a great therapist isn't about having all the right answers.
It's about learning how to stay present with uncertainty while continuing to grow.
Common Questions About Qualified Supervision
How do I choose the right Qualified Supervisor?
Look for someone whose clinical approach, supervision style, and values align with the kind of therapist you hope to become. It's also helpful to ask whether they have experience working with the types of clients you hope to work with. A supervisor who understands that population can help you think through cases, navigate challenges, and develop the clinical skills needed to guide clients from where they are to where they want to be. Supervision is a long-term professional relationship, so it's important to find someone you feel comfortable learning from, asking questions, and growing with over time.
What if I don't feel confident yet?
You're not expected to.
Confidence develops through experience, reflection, and supervision—not before you begin.
Can I bring difficult cases to supervision?
Absolutely.
Supervision is designed for exactly that. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, we'll work together to develop a thoughtful plan while supporting your growth as a clinician.
What if I make a mistake?
Every therapist does. Nobody is unique in their ability to make mistakes.
Supervision isn't about perfection—it's about learning, ethical reflection, and becoming a stronger clinician because of those experiences. Remember, in relationships, it's not the absence of conflict that indicates a healthy relationship, but the ability to repair. You can model that in sessions as well.
Do you only supervise therapists who use ACT?
Not at all.
While my supervision is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), psychological flexibility, and trauma-informed care, I welcome Registered Mental Health Counselor Interns from a variety of theoretical orientations who are looking to deepen their clinical thinking and build confidence in their work.
Let's Build Your Confidence Together
Working toward licensure can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate it alone.
Whether you're just beginning your internship or looking for a new Qualified Supervisor, my goal is to provide a supportive learning environment where you can ask questions, strengthen your clinical skills, and become the therapist you aspire to be.
