  • GROUP SUPERVISION | 120-MINS | $40

    Group supervision facilitates discussion about cases and their clinical issues between peers so that individuals can get a diversity of clinical perspectives. Group supervision is a very good supplement to individual supervision because it helps you develop clinical skills as you move along your supervision journey. Groups are focused on multicultural and diverse populations that include veterans, women, the Latinx, and LGBTQIA2S+ communities.

    This helps group members to develop their multicultural skills and cultural competency with all populations. We focus on exploring possible areas of bias, blind spots, and other issues that can be barriers to helping diverse communities. We also increase our knowledge of resources, referrals, and appropriate techniques in this area.

    I am committed to using supervision to increase access and cultural competency in this multicultural and diverse population.
