  • Supervision for Louisiana PLPCs • Ethical • Supportive • Competency-Based

    Supervision is one of the most important parts of your professional development. My goal is to provide structured, ethical, culturally responsive supervision that prepares you for real-world clinical work and long-term professional success.

    I help provisionally licensed counselors build strong clinical foundations, deepen their therapeutic identity, and grow into confident, independent practitioners.

    My Approach to PLPC Supervision - Supervision with me is:

    • Structured - You receive a clear supervision framework, competence expectations, and consistent clinical guidance.

    • Supportive - Supervision includes professional mentorship, skill-building, and space to process challenges, fears, or uncertainties that naturally arise in early practice.

    • Ethically Grounded - I follow Louisiana LPC Board rules, ACA and ACES standards, and the national best practices for clinical supervision.

    • Culturally Responsive - We actively explore cultural identity, social justice issues, and how they shape the therapeutic relationship.

    • Competency-Based - We focus on observable skill development, case conceptualization, treatment planning, documentation, ethics, and clinical outcomes.

    What You’ll Receive in Supervision

    • Weekly or Biweekly Supervision - Offered individually or in small groups.

    • Complete Supervision Framework

    Including:

    • Supervision contract

    • Evaluation tools

    • Competency checklist

    • Documentation Templates

    • Customized Skill Development - skill-building tailored to your clinical setting, theoretical orientation, learning style, and client population.

    • Professional Identity Development - Support in forming your therapeutic voice, style, and philosophy.

    • Case Consultation & Crisis Guidance - Real-time feedback for challenging cases, risk assessment, safety planning, and ethical dilemmas.

    • Multicultural & Anti-Oppressive Supervision - Supervision that incorporates identity, lived experience, systemic barriers, and cultural humility.

    • Support for the LPC Licensure Process - Including log forms, hour tracking, board rules, and application guidance.
