Supportive SuperVision Podcast

We are in unprecedented times and we need all the help and healing tools we can get. I talk with one of my favorite creatives and coaches, Danielle Langin, about how coaching tools can augment therapy. We owe it to ourselves to learn how coaching can help us, and our clients, especially as we enter what I think will be a shortage of mental health workers.

I have so much love in my heart for this episode! I talk all things play therapy, playfulness in supervision, and working with kids and families with Sarah Dooling. She also talks about what it's like to be a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor, a clinical supervisor, a therapist in private practice, and a professor! She has found such a great way to be active in our field, and she educates through her Instagram content so well! Enjoy!

I have been following Lee's work for a WHILE and I am so grateful that she joined me to debunk some myths around coaching, bring some clarity to the difference between coaching and therapy, and how therapists can get involved in the coaching world to extend their reach and help people feel healed and empowered. She shares her favorite resources and communities for those who are interested- even if you're on the fence about the coaching world, you do NOT want to miss all the facts in this episode!

Have you ever wondered if you can bill insurance as an intern, pre-licensed, or associate-licensed supervisee? Or are you a supervisor or private practice owner who wants to know if your supervisee can bill insurance under your name and NPI? This episode touches on the very basics of incident-to billing, as this practice is called, best practice, where to look for answers, and what resources I refer to most often about billing!

I go into some of the things that mean the most to me as a supervisor about the process, teaching, and helping to shape the next generation of counselors and EMDR clinicians. I share this because I want to help those with poor supervision see that it's not the same everywhere, and I want clinicians everywhere to feel empowered by the supervision process (even when it's hard). Whether you're a supervisor or a supervisee, consultant or consultee, this is one you don't want to miss!

In this episode, I dive deep with Catherine Moore, LICSW, who works in medical social work, hospice, and palliative care. She talks about the things she tries to teach those who come after her, how she wants to work as a supervisor, and what she wishes new clinicians new going into this very important field. We also talk about some of our individual experiences and how they shape our work today.

The coolest part is that we share a mutual passion for creating the colleagues we want through our podcasts and offerings- check out her podcast, Social Workers Rise! today!

This is a quick episode where I would like to remind those in our field that we are not the only ones who can heal the varied, multilayered issues our clients also face. Just as we can call on psychiatrists to help our clients with medications to enhance our therapeutic work with our clients, we can also call on energy healers, herbalists, and yes, even life/relationship/stress/empowerment/trauma/spiritual coaches! One is NOT better than the other- it's about what's best for our clients!

This episode is a deep dive into all the nuances of working in clients' homes before and during COVID-19, the different ethical and cultural considerations involved, and what should be involved in clinical supervision for those working in these roles. I share some of my horror stories and interesting experiences, and Victoria shares her more empowering experiences. Together, we give a good example of all the different experiences in-home providers can have. This is an area almost all of us will work in at some point in our careers, so this episode is a MUST!

I am joined by my friend and colleague, Stephanie D'Onofrio, where we talk about how impostor syndrome shows up for many therapists throughout our educational experiences and careers. We discuss how we sit with it when it shows up for us, how to process it in therapy/supervision, and how to work through it on our own. Plus Stephanie provides her five tips and tricks for working through Impostor Syndrome!

This is a call-in and call-out for veteran members of our field to do better. So much stigma is placed on clinical supervision and needing to learn more and do more work, which inhibits the growth of clinicians and healing of clients. I talk about reasons why having ongoing supervision is necessary, the difference between consultation and supervision, and what to expect as COVID-19 and racial traumas continue.
