Clinical Supervision

What is clinical supervision?

Clinical supervision is a structured process of a senior (based on clinical experience, not age) clinician overseeing and providing guidance in the development of a junior clinician over an extended period of time—typically a few months to years.

Ms. Todd will inform supervisee of receipt of approval and schedule initial supervision appointment accordingly.

Becoming a supervisor is a huge responsibility. The supervisor becomes legally and ethically responsible for the supervisee’s conduct with his/her clients. As such it is important to be aware of a supervisee’s clinical strengths and growth areas from the get-go. In using a primarily developmental model of supervision, it is important for Ms. Todd to be aware of the level of supervision interventions needed by a supervisee from the beginning of the relationship so that there is seamlessness in clients’ care.

How does Ms. Todd calculate her supervision rate?
