Professional Counselor Supervision
This group is appropriate for graduates working toward licensure as professional counselor in the state of Georgia. We meet biweekly on the 2nd and 4th Wednesdays of the month from 4pm to 5:30pm. Supervisees must also complete two individual meetings annually. We address professional identity development and case consultation. My background includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Prolonged Exposure (DBT-PE), Exposure and Response/Ritual Prevention (ERP), Somatic Experiencing, clinical hypnotherapy, and trauma healing. My approach is also compassion- and mindfulness-based, holistic, integrative, and uses anti-oppressive and liberation focused approaches to counseling and professional development.
