Presenters:
Jennifer Taylor, DSW, LCSW-C, RPT-S
Claire Fultz, DSW, MSW, MSc, LCSW-C, CCM

Workshop Description

Clinical supervision is more than reviewing cases and ensuring clinical standards are met. Effective supervisors also create the conditions that help clinicians develop confidence, critical thinking, and professional identity.

This training explores the unique roles of administrative and clinical supervision and invites supervisors to reflect on how their communication styles, strengths, and blind spots influence the supervisory relationship. Participants will explore strategies for providing developmentally appropriate feedback, supporting clinician growth, and strengthening their own supervisory effectiveness through reflective practice.

Learning Objectives

As a result of this training, participants will be able to:

  • Differentiate between administrative and clinical supervision and examine the competencies required in each role.

  • Describe three ways that supervisors’ communication styles, strengths, and blind spots influence the supervisory relationship and clinician development.

  • Identify strategies for providing effective feedback that is responsive to the supervisee’s stage of clinical development and learning needs.

  • Utilize reflective practices that support self-assessment of supervisory skills, identify areas for growth, and promote ongoing development as a supervisor.
