Clinical Supervision in Washington State
As a multidisciplinary team of mental health clinicians, we approach therapy from a decolonized and post-modern approach with a particular emphasis on anti-oppression, anti-racism, intersectionality, and social justice.
Our Approach to Clinical Supervision
Our team offers supervision for both early-in-career therapists and more seasoned therapists seeking to adopt a decolonized approach to their work. Core to our approach to clinical supervision is an integration of our mission, vision and values. We aim to decolonize mental health and feature an integrative, post modern approach to both client engagement and clinical supervision and consultation.
Each supervision relationship is unique, established in collaboration with your supervisor. With all supervisees, our supervisors are equipped to support the following:
- Clinical skills: supporting growth and development respective to client engagement, assessment, treatment planning and interventions.
- Documentation: session notes, biopsychosocial and other relevant assessments, treatment plan development and general clinical writing skills.
- Licensure: tracking required hours of supervision, consultation for licensure requirements, and continuing education evaluation.
- Expectations: recordings, video or audio, case presentations, treatment planning and conceptualization.

Just like the therapeutic relationship is important in therapy, we value the supervisory relationship and believe change is more effective when value has been placed on rapport. With that said, as a therapist some of the challenges we face are mental exhaustion, cognitive overload, countertransference, burn-out, and self-care.
While there is a clear distinction between supervision and therapy, we believe in providing brave spaces for the “Self of the Therapist” work to begin. As a practice our goal is to decolonize mental health and that does not exclude the work we do in supervision.
