Counseling & Psychological Services

My supervision style has been a combination of psychotherapy based and developmental approaches to supervision. I highly value the supervisory alliance, collaboratively developing supervisory goals and tasks, and fostering a supportive, nonjudgmental learning environment so that supervisees could work toward becoming competent clinicians. Depending on a supervisee’s strengths and competency level, I assume different roles in the supervisory process that range from teacher to consultant. Currently, I am working on developing my skills on competency-based supervision proposed by Carol A. Falender and Edward P. Shafranske. I am particularly interested in this approach because while it puts emphasis on the ability to apply “real world” knowledge and skills into the supervisory process, it also utilizes performance outcomes as criteria for evaluating supervisees and training programs.
