This week, Kelsey and Nikita sit down to talk all things clinical supervision- what it is, why it matters, and why the quality of supervision can have such a lasting impact on developing clinicians.

As conversations continue to grow around training standards, board exam pass rates, and the preparedness of upcoming professionals, we wanted to have an honest discussion about the role supervision plays in shaping confidence, competence, ethical care, and professional identity.

Kelsey shares her perspective from the ABA/BCBA world, including recent shifts within the field and changes surrounding supervision practices and skill-building expectations. We also explore different approaches to supervision, including the relational approach that both of us deeply value in our work, mentorship, and personal lives.

We talk about:
✨ What supervision actually looks like in practice✨ The supervisor-supervisee relationship✨ Growth, support, accountability, and empowerment✨ Why supervision should be more than “checking boxes”✨ Helping clinicians build confidence instead of fear✨ Kelsey’s evolving supervision model and philosophy✨ The importance of feeling safe enough to learn, ask questions, and grow

Supervision is something we are both incredibly passionate about, and honestly, one of the biggest reasons we each gravitated toward the work we do today.

Whether you’re a therapist, BCBA, student, supervisee, future clinician, or someone curious about what happens behind the scenes of helping professions- we hope this conversation offers validation, insight, and encouragement. 🤍
