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.

Tabitha M. Kuria, LMHC
Tabitha M. Kuria, LMHC is a licensed Mental Health Counselor and a WA State Approved Supervisor. With over 10 years experience as a clinician, Tabitha has had both great and not so great supervisors (but more of the latter). Therefore, one of her scariest, yet greatest career developments was becoming a supervisor and making the conscious choice to be effective, ethical, collaborative, provide useful feedback, engage in critical reflections, and support supervisees and interns in becoming the best version of themselves (as therapists) while causing no harm to clients. Good Therapy said it best “Therapy is both an art and a science” and as therapist we are the tool, and it is her goal to support and mentor therapists in processing issues that helps shape who they are.
Tabitha is a Black Clinical Supervisor in Washington State.
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.
