Supervision to obtain LCSW licensing
Supervision is offered for therapists seeking LCSW licensing, and for therapists interested in managing individual, group, couples and family cases. Supervision helps a therapist to understand what a patient is saying and what the patient avoids saying. Together we work to understand symptomatology, psychopathology, patient diagnosis, patient’s psychological state of development, the transference message, and what the patient’s resistances are towards saying everything and toward growing and developing emotionally. Therapists are helped to understand their own feelings and thoughts with respect to their reactions (both objective and subjective) to the patient. Service is provided via telehealth individually and/or in group.
