Why Choose McCullough Family Therapy for Clinical Supervision?

Our approach to clinical supervision is collaborative, supportive, and personalized. We understand the unique challenges that new therapists face and are dedicated to helping you overcome them.

We provide clinical supervision that is:

  • Collaborative: Our supervisors bring a wealth of knowledge and create a learning environment where you can discuss cases and develop new strategies. This teamwork helps you grow into a well-rounded and effective therapist.
  • Supportive: We provide a nurturing, non-judgmental space where you can openly discuss challenges and successes. Feel safe and supported as you explore your strengths and areas for growth.
  • Personalized: We understand that every therapist's journey is unique, so we customize our supervision to fit your individual goals. Whether you want to develop expertise in a specific therapeutic approach, address particular client issues, or enhance your overall practice, our personalized supervision will help you achieve your professional objectives.
We offer both individual and group supervision options and work from a systemic lens. In individual supervision, we review recordings of your sessions (not every session has to be recorded, just the ones you want to review), discuss ethical, legal, cultural, race, sexuality, PPO, and DEI issues, and explore how you are viewing the case through the theories you are utilizing. We also focus on the self of the therapist and work together to create your list of goals for our time together. Evaluations will be completed by both you and your supervisor to ensure we are staying on track.

Questions About Clinical Supervision

STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

Contact Us
For individual supervision (50-minute sessions), we require that you meet a minimum of once a month with your supervisor, regardless of how many clients you are seeing. Keep in mind that for both LPC and LMFT licenses, you need to maintain a ratio of one supervision hour for every 20 client hours. For group supervision (2-hour sessions, virtual), we meet once a month and ask that you commit to attending for a set period. This allows us to plan effectively and maintain smaller group sizes.
Most of our supervision is done virtually, but we do offer both virtual and in-person sessions to accommodate different preferences and needs.
Choosing a clinical supervisor is a lot like choosing a therapist. Consider personality, training, and experience. Make sure your personalities will work well together—do you prefer a softer or more direct interaction style? Think about the theories you want to train in or improve your skills with, and pick a supervisor who is trained in those same theories. Also, consider how much experience you want your supervisor to have, both in their theoretical practice and in their supervisory practice. During our consultation, we will work to match you with the right supervisor for your needs.
We are currently only licensed to work in Colorado. If you are outside of Colorado, you will need to check with your licensure board to determine if they accept out-of-state supervision.
Clinical supervision is essential for new therapists as it provides guidance, support, and practical experience. A clinical supervisor helps you navigate real-world challenges, ethical dilemmas, and complex client situations, ensuring you apply what you’ve learned in your training effectively. Supervision also offers a space to discuss your cases, receive feedback, and develop your clinical skills. It’s an opportunity to grow professionally, build confidence, and meet the licensure requirements. Ultimately, having a clinical supervisor helps you become the competent, confident therapist you aspire to be.
