Frequently Asked Questions

What will a group supervision session look like?

Most groups will have a combination of three elements: (1) a check-in on progress of skills learned/ discussed at previous session, (2) a discussion of new material or skills that are being presented, and (3) case consultation to review current situations faced by the participants.

Will there be homework outside of group?

Learning solid clinical skills is both a hands-on practical experience, as well as a process of acquiring a specific relevant knowledge. I will bring various topics to each group meeting in order to ensure that supervisees are steadily adding to their knowledge base and are prepared to pass the LCSW exam with confidence when the time comes. Supervisees in turn are responsible to ensure that the information provided is retained and applied in their specific clinical setting.

What if I've had a negative group experience? How will this group be different?

Using a group format for clinical supervision multiplies learning opportunities as you listen to other social workers discuss their clients and challenges faced in practice. You will also discuss your own experiences and receive feedback from your peers.

As your supervisor, I am tasked with ensuring that group members have equal time to share and provide feedback and address any questions or concerns that arise during the process. This environment allows you not only to learn through your own experience, but to also gain valuable perspective and knowledge unique to the practice background and experiences of your supervisor and your fellow group members.

What type of training is required to become an LCSW-Supervisor?

The BHEC requires that LCSW-Supervisors receive 40 hours of training in how to provide supervision, topics important to cover during the course of clinical supervision, ethical issues, boundaries with clients, etc.

Where does supervision take place?

Group supervision meets via Zoom. Therefore, I can provide supervision to anyone pursuing their LCSW in the state of Texas. Individual supervision can meet via Zoom or in person. Please reach out via email to discuss availability of in-person supervision and its location in the western DFW area.
