2018-Superivison Can Be Playful
From 2012-2016, I provided supervision for graduate school interns. Since 2016, I have provided supervision for individuals seeking licensure, play therapy credentials, and in the Infant/Family Mental Health field.
SUPERVISION MODEL(S)
I utilize different models of supervision depending on the need of the supervisee. For those individuals seeking supervision for play therapy credentialing, I use the Discrimination Model and/or the Integrated Developmental Model. For Infant/Family Mental Health, I use the Reflective Supervision Model.
I utilize the Integrated Developmental Model of Supervision when supervising individuals for licensure and those simultaneously seeking licensure and credentialing as a play therapist. For licensure supervision, I believe that supervision is a learning experience whereby the supervisor assists the supervisee in developing the necessary skills and competencies to practice independently. I utilize case and documentation review, videotapes of sessions (at a minimum 24 sessions), experiential activities in supervision, and assigned readings.
The first year of supervision focuses on: Interventions/Skills Competence, Assessment of Clients, Interpersonal Assessment-Use of Self, Case Conceptualization, Diversity, Theory, Treatment Plans/Goals/Documentation, and Professional Ethics/Development. The second year of supervision focuses on providing treatment. In undergoing supervision with me, I require that you pick at least one counseling approach, obtain training in that approach, and utilize that approach in your counseling sessions.
For credentialing as a play therapist, I use the Discrimination Model of Supervision and/or Integrated Developmental Model. I utilize case review, videotapes of sessions (at a minimum 5 sessions), experiential activities, and assigned readings in supervision for credentialing. The focus of supervision for credentialing as a play therapist is to develop competence in play therapy. As with licensure supervision, I require that you pick one play therapy approach, obtain training in that approach, and utilize that approach in your play therapy sessions.
I use Reflective Supervision in working with individuals in the Infant/Family Mental Health field. The goals of Reflective supervision are to reflect on thoughts, feelings, and values to strengthen relationships, foster growth, and build resilience.
EVALUATION
For licensure supervision, I utilize the "Counselor Competencies Scale-Revised (CCCS-R)." The supervisee will need to score a "4" or above on each skill in Part I and a "4" or above in each disposition and behavior in Part II for recommendation for licensure. At a minimum, the supervisee will be required to provide 24 video recordings of client sessions for licensure.
For credentialing supervision, I utilize the "Clinical Play Therapy Skills" to provide the supervisee with feedback. The supervisee will need to score "Meets Standard" in all applicable areas to move to the next phase of the credentialing process and to receive a recommendation for credentialing. At a minimum, the supervisee will be required to provide 5 video recordings of play therapy sessions for credentialing (these sessions can count toward the 24 video recording requirement for licensure).
There is no evaluation in Reflective Supervision.
CLIENT CONFIDENTIALITY AND PRIVILEGED COMMUNICATION
All electronic communication and/or virtual supervision sessions between supervisor and supervisee needs to be encrypted on a HIPAA compliant platform.
I have my supervisees put in their Informed Consent that they are under supervision with me and to explain to their clients that they (supervisee) will be discussing their case with me. In addition, I have my supervisees put my name and contact information into their Informed Consent as an emergency contact (i.e., when they cannot get in touch with the supervisee).
FEES
My fee for individual supervision is $75 an hour. My fee for group supervision is $40 an hour. I do not provide pro bono supervision.
EMERGENCY CONTACT
My emergency contact is Teresa Schroeder. Her telephone number is 314-495-0585 and her email is teresa@southcitycounselingstl.com. If I am on vacation or you are having difficulty getting in touch with me, you can contact her with questions or to staff a case in the event of an emergency.
CCE APPROVED CLINICAL SUPERVISOR (ACS) CODE OF ETHICS AND COMPLAINTS
