Supervision & Consultations

Finding a supervisor you truly connect with can feel like a challenge, but it’s not impossible. At Better Minds Counseling & Services, we believe that supervision and consultation should feel collaborative, supportive, and deeply aligned with your goals as a therapist.

Whether you’re pursuing licensure supervision as a pre-licensed professional or seeking ongoing therapist consultation as an experienced clinician, you’re in the right place. Our supervision and consultation services are designed to help therapists grow in confidence, refine their clinical skills, have a safe space to review cases, and build sustainable, values-driven practices.

Why Supervision & Consultation Matter

Supervision and consultation are the backbone of ethical, effective, and fulfilling clinical work. These spaces aren’t just about checking boxes for hours; they’re opportunities for reflection, skill-building, and professional growth.

At Better Minds Counseling & Services, we emphasize specialized training, intentional mentorship, and a collaborative approach that helps you find your authentic therapist identity. You’ll be supported by a supervisor who understands both the art and science of therapy, someone who values you as a human first, then as a clinician.

Supervision isn’t just about “doing therapy better.” It’s about:

• Building confidence in your clinical decision-making.

• Developing your voice and identity as a therapist.

• Learning evidence-based practices from someone with specialized training.

• Exploring ethical challenges in a safe, reflective environment.

• Preventing burnout by focusing on self-care and work-life balance.

• Creating a network of support through consultation groups and peer collaboration.

Licensure Supervision

Beginning your journey toward independent licensure can feel exciting and a little overwhelming (been there!). Our licensure supervision services are designed to make this process smoother, supportive, and genuinely growth-oriented.

Our licensed supervisors provide structured supervision for those pursuing LPC, LCSW, or LMFT licensure (depending on state regulations). We understand the nuances of each state’s requirements and help you stay on track while also prioritizing your professional development.

What You Can Expect from Licensure Supervision

• Goal-oriented sessions: We’ll work together to identify your learning needs, clinical interests, and long-term goals.

• Ethical guidance: Learn how to navigate complex cases and ethical dilemmas with confidence.

• Skill development: Receive direct feedback, case conceptualization support, and practical tools to enhance your therapeutic work.

• Specialized training opportunities: Explore areas like anxiety treatment, depression, OCD and ERP, narcissistic abuse, trauma-informed care, high-functioning presentations, and more.

• Supportive accountability: You’ll receive regular check-ins, documentation support, and individualized attention to your progress.

Clinical & Therapist Consultation

Supervision doesn’t end when the license is framed. Many clinicians find that therapist consultation becomes an essential part of their ongoing professional growth.

At Better Minds Counseling & Services, we offer specific consultation for therapists seeking case support, ethical guidance, or space to process the emotional weight of the work. Whether you’re a solo practitioner, a group practice clinician, or someone navigating complex client presentations, consultation provides a space for reflection and refinement.

What Therapist Consultation Offers

• Case consultation: Receive perspective on challenging or high-risk cases in a supportive and confidential environment.

• Ethical and boundary consultation: Discuss concerns around dual relationships, scope of practice, and professional boundaries.

• Specialized consultation: We offer specific consultation for topics such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, narcissistic abuse, chronic pain, professional burnout, and LGBTQ+ competency.

• Business and practice consultation: Learn how to manage caseloads, documentation, or the transition into private practice.

• Therapist wellness: Explore your own emotional health, self-care strategies, and boundaries as a clinician.

Consultation is where you continue to evolve, not just as a therapist, but as a whole human doing deeply meaningful work.

Consultation Groups

In addition to individual consultation, we also offer consultation groups that foster collaboration and community among mental health professionals. These small groups are designed to be interactive, relational, and practical, offering you peer support and clinical insights you can immediately apply.

• Currently, we offer a consultation group for supporting survivors of narcissistic abuse.

Why Join a Consultation Group?

• Shared learning: Hear how other clinicians approach similar challenges.

• Diverse perspectives: Gain new insights from therapists with different modalities and populations.

• Ongoing accountability: Stay inspired and supported throughout your professional journey.

• Connection: Build relationships with other clinicians who understand the joys and challenges of this field.

Our consultation groups often focus on themes such as:

• Narcissistic abuse

• Psychoeducation

• Trauma-informed treatment approaches

• Therapist identity and authenticity

• Ethical decision-making and supervision skills

If you’re craving a sense of community and continuous learning, joining a consultation group may be the next step in your professional evolution.

Our Approach to Supervision & Consultation

We believe that good supervision and consultation mirror good therapy, grounded in trust, curiosity, and collaboration.

At Better Minds Counseling & Services, we create a space where supervisees and consultees can explore openly without fear of judgment. We focus on the “why” behind your work, helping you think critically and compassionately about the choices you make in session.

Our approach includes:

• Collaborative exploration: We value your input, insights, and intuition.

• Growth-oriented feedback: Our goal is to build your confidence, not critique your every move.

• Integration of theory and practice: We bridge academic knowledge with real-world application.

• Attention to the whole therapist: Your emotional, physical, and mental health matter, too.

• Commitment to ethics and quality care: We help you stay aligned with best practices and ethical standards.

We want supervision and consultation to be a space where you feel safe to take risks, try new approaches, and reflect deeply on what it means to be a therapist.
