Welcome to Supportive Steps. As a registered social worker (R.S.W.) who has practised several therapeutic modalities for over 5 years, I am able to clinically supervise and consult counsellors, social workers, registered psychotherapists, and registered psychotherapists (qualifying) (R.P.Q.s) who are working towards their registration with the CRPO.
My clinical supervision and consultation service can provide new and experienced practitioners with the chance to develop their professional skillset, gain further knowledge and experience in their field, and discuss ways to enhance client care.
For practitioners whose goals may include expanding their knowledge of therapeutic modalities, EMDR consultation is available as an option. Not only am I able to clinically supervise and consult, but also I am an EMDRIA Certified Therapist™ and an EMDRIA Approved Consultant-in-Training™ (C.I.T.).
As a C.I.T., I can provide therapists with 15 hours of consultation towards their EMDR certification. For R.P.Q.s currently working towards their EMDR certification and clinical supervision hours, these 15 hours can count towards both goals. General EMDR consultation is also available for all interested practitioners.
Are you wanting to better support clients who are children and/or teens? As a Certified Play Therapist Supervisor (CPT-S) intern, I offer clinical consults and supervision for play therapy. The hours completed with me in these sessions can be used towards certification with the Canadian Association for Play Therapy (CAPT).
This service is slightly different from the other consults and supervision I offer. Learning play therapy means you will be learning a language that children mainly speak. You’re not only developing this new language to better understand them, but also you’re learning more about new ways to communicate and rediscovering a world that’s based on play.
Supervision sessions for play therapy may also look a little different. Optionally, we will engage with toys in order to identify areas where improvement is needed as you engage in play. Consultation and supervision in play can also help you learn how to better build rapport and increase your ability to see the progress being made in your child and teen clients.
I have completed training in the following fields of therapy, which contribute to my ability to supervise and consult with therapists both new and experienced:
Each 50-minute session is dedicated to one-on-one discussion based on the goals of the supervisee. Such goals could include but are not limited to the following examples:
Whether you’re currently a student, you’re newly established and aspiring in your field of therapy, or you’re a licensed clinician, I can provide consults and clinical supervision in-person and virtually.
