Clinical Supervision for Trauma-Informed Associate Therapists
Nervous-system-focused, relational, and developmentally supportive clinical supervision for pre-licensed clinicians in CO, VA, and FL.
Supervision for the therapist you’re becoming, not just the hours you need to collect.
Clinical work with trauma, grief, and complex nervous systems asks a lot of us. It’s not just about learning techniques or assigning diagnoses.
It’s about developing the capacity to think clearly under pressure, to track parts and attachment patterns, to notice your own nervous system in the room, and to build a clinical identity that is steady, rooted in ethics, and sustainable over time.
My approach to supervision is relational, developmentally supportive, and grounded in the same nervous-system-informed, parts-oriented framework I bring to my therapy work.
Supervision isn’t a performance review. It’s a place to reflect, deepen your clinical thinking, and grow into your role as a therapist with ethical understanding, confidence and self-trust.
As an associate therapist, you deserve supervision that is organized, effective, and personalized to fit your unique learning style and clinical caseload.
Supervision that doesn't suck!

Hi, I’m Carly,
I help pre-licensed therapists build solid clinical skill and explore private practice through honest, supportive supervision.
During my own associate years, I worked with nearly ten supervisors as I moved around. That opened my eyes to how supervision can become a negative, stressful, and seemingly useless force. I also had amazing supervisors who shaped both how I support therapy clients and how I supervise associates now.
My approach is direct, supportive, and grounded in real clinical work. We focus on case conceptualization, ethics, nervous system awareness, and decision-making — with space to talk openly about money, boundaries, and building a practice that actually supports your life.
If you’re motivated, organized, thoughtful, and want supervision that prepares you for the real realities of clinical work and private practice, let’s talk!
Or, fill out the form below.
What We Focus On in Supervision
This supervision is best suited for pre-licensed clinicians who are reflective, values-driven, and interested in doing the real clinical and ethical work.
Anti-Oppressive & Anti-Carceral Practice
Our supervision is grounded in anti-racist, anti-oppressive values. We talk explicitly about suicide risk, power, and safety — including minimizing police involvement and centering human dignity.
Modalities, Integration & Clinical Identity
We explore different approaches (EMDR, IFS, somatic, relational, and integrative models) and how to use them thoughtfully. The goal is helping you develop a coherent, ethical clinical identity.
Private Practice & Sustainability
We make space to talk honestly about money, fees, caseloads, boundaries, burnout, and building a private practice that is supportive rather than extractive — for you and for your clients.
Clinical Thinking & Case Conceptualization
We focus on how to think like a therapist, not just what to do in session. This includes case formulation across modalities, tracking patterns over time, and making intentional clinical decisions.
Ethical Ambiguity & Decision-Making
Real clinical work lives in gray areas. Supervision includes navigating ethical ambiguity, documentation, boundaries, disclosure, and board-related decision-making with clarity and integrity.
Transference, Countertransference & Your Nervous System
We notice what’s happening in you as a clinician. This includes transference and countertransference, nervous system responses, bias, and how your internal experience informs (and sometimes complicates) clinical work.
-
Choose this option if you prefer a 1:1 format meeting weekly, biweekly, or monthly.
We’ll work together to ensure all documentation is complete and kept updated throughout our supervision period.
-
Minimum 2 participants (max 6), otherwise we’ll shift to individual supervision.
Choose this option if you’re looking for a small group that uses thoughtful discussion based in case presentation and ethical decision making.
If you and a colleague, peer, or friend would like to participate in supervision together, choose this option.
We’ll meet biweekly or monthly depending on availability.
-
This is not clinical supervision.
If you’re private practice-curious or wondering how you might begin your business while working at a group or agency, this consultation is for you.
We’ll work together to evaluate your current landscape and honestly assess how private practice could fit into your life.
You’ll leave the consultation session with 1-5 solid action items and a plan for the next 30 days.
Please note: only for healthcare and therapists who are fully licensed.
