Clinical Supervision Services

“Supervision” is the relationship between supervisor and supervisee that promotes the development of responsibility, skill, knowledge, attitudes, and ethical standards in the practice of clinical social work. The priority in the supervision process is accountability for client care within the parameters and ethical standards of the social work profession. 

I provide individual supervision for aspiring social work professionals working toward an Illinois LCSW. Individuals will meet weekly. Groups of 5 or less are offered based on a requests waitlist. 

I am honored to contribute to the integrity of the social work profession by providing Clinical Supervision. I will work with you to develop the skills, knowledge, resources, and passion you need to become the professional you want to be as a Clinical Social Worker. I aspire to be a resource for those who are working to be a resource for others. We will work to maintain open communication and feedback about the supervisory alliance so that it can be fostered and used as an effective component of clinical supervision. 

I have completed Field Supervision training to qualify for the supervision of MSW students in the St. Louis, MO area associated with Washington University, UMSL, and SLU. I have been the field supervisor and Task supervisor of MSW students. I have completed clinical supervision training from NASW and am an approved Supervisor with NASWIL.

Supervision and licensure requirements

At this time, supervisees must be working in the state of Illinois and seeking supervision toward an Illinois license, unless granted direct permission from the state licensing board(s).

  •   MSWs must work for 3,000 hours under the supervision of an LCSW

  •  PhDs/DSWs must work for 2,000 hours under supervision of an LCSW

  •   BSWs are ineligible for the LCSW

You must be currently working in the social work field. The work may be paid or volunteer work, but it must be direct practice experience (non-clerical). Your work must consist of client contact or administrative work directly related to client contact to count toward your licensure.

  •   You may work part-time (15–30 hrs/wk) or full-time (30–40 hrs/wk).

You must meet with your supervisor(s) a minimum of four hours per month to discuss client cases and treatment procedures.

  •   You may have different supervisors at different times, provided they’re all licensed appropriately. Proof of supervision hours completed will be required for any supervisees who have previously completed hours with a different clinical supervisor.

You may be supervised in groups of no more than five (5) people at a time.

You may either have a supervisor who works for your employer or one you retain privately.

  •   If seeking supervision outside of your employer, please check with your employer’s reimbursement policies to determine if you can receive reimbursement for supervision fees.
