    • Episode 88: Laura Beaver created the Supervisor Support Network

      Meet Laura Beaver LCSW who landed in the social work field

      early in her career. She began teaching as an adjunct professor and then a field director and finally became a program director. After experiencing burnout in higher education she transitioned to private practice. She loves helping students find their place in the field and helping supervisors remain passionate about this role. Rather
      than viewing supervision as a box to check, she prefers to view it as an opportunity to pour into the next generation of professionals in the field that will help to carry us forward. She created the Supervisor Support Network, a community
      that ensures supervisors feel seen and supported and get the resources and comradery necessary to do this work well. She has a Facebook group where shares conversations with supervisors and plans to start a book club in the new year
      as well as add a membership component. Make sure to tune in to learn how to ensure the supervision experience is positive and impactful and feel free to email her with any questions: [email protected].

       

      Key Takeaways:

      -Practicum experience will either be the entry point or the

      point where students get burnt out

      -Quality supervision can pay dividends to every client that

      the supervisee works with

      -Don’t forget what it was like to not know anything early in

      your career!

      -Students want to learn and absorb and we can miss out if we don’t grow that for them

      -Part of supervision is recognizing we will mess up but

      focusing on how to repair with clients

      -Supervisees have acquired the knowledge and skills and are

      coming to you to learn their approach and art

      -As a supervisor, come from a place of wanting to learn and

      grow yourself rather than out of obligation

      -We are the gatekeepers to the profession so don’t be afraid

      to have difficult conversations

      -One of the best questions you can ask a supervisee is “what

      was going on inside of you in that moment?”

      -Get clear on what your supervisee is hoping to get out of the

      process

      -Time in supervision is just as important as time with

      clients

    • Episode 87: Amy Grace is an everday supermom

      Amy Grace is a mom, therapist, author, and motherhood coach who wants to challenge the toxic idea of the supermom. She prides herself on always being a mom first and strives to balance her professional live and mom life. She shares the societal definition of supermom who is able to do everything all the time which leads to exhaustion. She says a true supermom is someone who works within her strengths and being the mom “she is called to be”. She shares her podcasting journey, the book she is releasing in 2025 called "The Good Enough Supermom", the coaching she offers, and her courses that share what she has learned.

      Key Takeaways:

      -Accept and acknowledge the difficult things about motherhood as well as the good things.

      -When a client is having a hard time reconciling what a mom “should be” and the mom she is, challenge the messages from society.

      -Doing one or two things really well is better than doing everything, because you can’t do everything perfectly.

      -Do not underestimate the importance of marketing but find a way to make it enjoyable and authentic!

      -If you are in survival mode, approach situations with intentionality as much as possible.

      -Do what you can to ensure your children feel loved and that they are lovable.

      -Believe you are the mom your kids need!

    • Episode 86: Melanie Snyder owns a tri-state therapy practice

      Meet Melanie Snyder, a therapist and the owner of Tri-State Psychotherapy Group, a multi-state group practice that serves clients in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New Jersey. They provide individual, family, and couples therapy and have clinicians that speak Mandarin and Spanish. She currently lives in New York state but previously lived in Massachusetts, where she started her private practice. At that time many of her clients were college students and she wanted to be able to continue to provide therapy when they returned home for breaks and the summer. Recognizing a need she began hiring a year and a half ago and her team has grown to 15 clinicians! She shares her challenges navigating federal, state, and licensure regulations, the administrative side of the business, as well as carrying a caseload.

      Key takeaways:

      • There is no multi-state checklist out there! Ensure you are familiar with the state licensure and employment laws of the clinicians you hire.

      • Connect with and learn from other therapists who are doing what you want to do.

        • Retreats can be a helpful way to make your team feel closer and connected to one another.

          • Be clear and upfront about expectations in the beginning so it is clear what to prioritize and there is less need for micromanagement.
