PRE-LICENSED CLINICAL SUPERVISION
Where clinical skill, presence, and attunement come together
Clinical supervision is more than meeting requirements for licensure. It is a space to deepen clinical skill and confidence, while developing your own authentic voice as a therapist. My approach brings together contemporary, experiential psychotherapy with embodied presence, and thoughtful mentorship–supporting you in becoming the clinician you want to be.
“I always feel safe, seen, heard, encouraged, and pushed at just the right pace. I highly recommend Heather for supervision.”

Clinical Development
Supervision integrates strong clinical foundations with contemporary approaches to trauma, attachment, and nervous system-informed psychotherapy. Clinicians are encouraged to develop their own areas of interest and therapeutic style while building competency across a range of evidence-informed modalities.
Clinical work may draw from Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Internal Family Systems and parts-based approaches, EMDR, Polyvagal-informed practice, contemporary neuroscience, CBT, and DBT. Particular attention is given to developmental and complex trauma, attachment injury, relational dynamics, and the ways nervous system processes shape both the client and the therapeutic relationship.
Supervision is both analytic and experiential. Alongside case conceptualization and clinical decision-making, and ethical and professional considerations, we may slow down and explore what is happening in the room—attending to somatic experience, relational dynamics, parts, countertransference, and your own nervous system as a clinician. Mindful self-study and resourcing support greater presence, attunement, and choice in clinical work.
Supervision is grounded in an intersectional, feminist, and Buddhist-informed framework, with attention to how identity, culture, power, privilege, and broader social contexts shape both client experience and the therapeutic relationship. Supervision invites curiosity about these dynamics alongside mindful self-reflection, compassion, and awareness of our own positioning as clinicians.
For clinicians beginning private practice, supervision includes hands-on support in developing and sustaining a psychotherapy practice. Supervisees learn to manage their own billing and claims, navigate insurance and private-pay systems, maintain compliant documentation, and understand the administrative and financial side of practice. Support also includes practice systems and templates and the practical foundations of becoming an independent clinician.
A comprehensive supervision manual, practice templates, and documentation resources are provided to support best practices and the transition into independent practice.
Supervision is offered individually and through a small, ongoing supervision group. The group creates a collaborative space for shared learning, diverse clinical perspectives, case consultation, Mindfulness–Directed work, and mutual support.
Building a Practice
“I have been very impressed with Heather's responsiveness and commitment to supporting supervisees with business aspects. She has done a fantastic job of staying up to date with any changes or challenges in policies, billing and regulations, and provided support that allowed supervisees reassurance and peace of mind."
