Here are some examples of what students are saying about you. "My local supervisor has taught me so much in regard to literature, helpful books/resources that are useful for myself as well as the client, treatment planning, and the use of models and how to effectively apply that model in session with a particular client … she is always trying to assist me in obtaining hours, whether it is allowing me to sit in with her clients or finding other opportunities for me so I am able to obtain those hours, as well as the other interns … She is able to lift me up and encourage me when I feel unsure of myself and my work as an MFT." "[My local supervisor] has been very helpful in navigating various professional issues, such as health of the helper, transference, family and couple dynamics, as well as time management, scheduling, and treatment planning." "My clinical supervisor has helped me determine what my personal theory of change is and how that reflects in my therapy model. Additionally, she has helped me find multiple ways to view families systemically in practice, not just theory." "[My local supervisor] is a great support during this time, as she has challenged my comfort levels and encouraged me to allow myself the moments to be flexible. New approaches came naturally for me to understand and apply; however, I can be hard on myself to make things perfect. As I brought audio clips into individual supervision each week, [my local supervisor] helped me point out the moments where I was displaying great work with my clients with attentiveness, patience, and collaboration. In slowing down my pace, the focus was simply; it was to be present for the person or people in front of you. [My local supervisor] encourages me to problem-solve out loud and to face reality with confidence." "My supervisor has gone above and beyond to help me establish and maintain clinical integrity and show me many different outlooks and theoretical approaches/ interventions that helped me to be a better future clinician." "[My local supervisor's] supervision has exceeded my expectations in many ways. I think the most profound example was in discussing a new client of mine at the beginning of our time together. She immediately noticed a potential risk that I, as a new clinician, did not attune to … her judgement was reasonable and was holding my wellbeing as a priority. To have a supervisor that cares so much about giving me the best experience and education possible, alongside caring about me as a human being, I am unbelievably grateful. ... [She] also always asks what I'm thinking or what a situation is bringing up for me. It feels very collaborative despite her being the expert in our supervisory relationship, which I appreciate, because it gives me the space to grow and develop and learn on my own under her watchful eye." "[My local supervisor] has been extremely instrumental in helping me to bridge textbook understanding of Marriage and Family therapists into clinical applications. Using his experience and knowledge from private practice and supervision of the doctoral program at [his] university to guide me through addiction cases and bridge the concepts and values of a family therapist, [he] is always pushing me to think outside the box and not be afraid to play with more than one concept while figuring out what works best in my learning environment. [He] is sensitive to understanding the expectations of my learning objectives and keeping me focused on becoming a confident and flexible therapist. Our weekly meetings are followed by questions and continuous mobility toward my educational goals." "Through video examination, [my local supervisor] has been able to critique my skills. She is so valuable to my process of learning. She has a way of supporting me, while being able to instruct in a way that allows me to develop the evaluating skills. In addition, her modality is
