Supervision for counselors becoming clinicians
FOR TEXAS LPC ASSOCIATES
Your associate years shape the counselor you become. Work them under a board-approved supervisor who has walked the road from classroom to independent practice.
FOR LPC ASSOCIATES
Bring your real caseload — couples, individuals, career-transition work — and leave each session knowing what to do next. One-on-one or small group.
Learn couples work from someone who does it every week: Gottman (Level 2), Prepare/Enrich, attachment and schema lenses — in the room with you, not in a textbook.
Build the practice, not just the hours — fees, niche, marketing, office space, and the decisions that turn a license into a livelihood. Most supervisors never go there. We will.
Already have a practicum or job site and just need a board-approved supervisor? That’s exactly the fit — especially for school counselors and other education-based clinicians. I spent 17 years in your world. I know your calendar.
Straight feedback, delivered kindly — the kind that builds your judgment, not your dependence on mine.
LPC Associate Supervision
We start with what’s already working in you, get clear on the clinician you want to become, and build from there. You’ll find your own clinical voice — I’m not here to hand you mine — and you’ll get the room to grow into it, with honest feedback when you need it and no hovering when you don’t.
Personality is part of the work: we’ll explore how you’re wired, how your clients are wired, and what that means for how you show up in the room. And because I’ve built more than one business, we’ll talk about the one you’re building too, if a private practice is your goal.
Tell me where you are in your hours and what you’re hoping for. I’ll write back with how we’d work together.

WHAT WORKING TOGETHER LOOKS LIKE
A structure that builds independence
“You don't need a supervisor who has all the answers. You need one who asks the questions that build yours.”
Set the foundation — supervision plan, goals for your hours, and where you want to land after them.
Work the cases — consultation on your actual caseload, one-on-one or in small group.
Build your lens — attachment, schema, Gottman, and the judgment calls textbooks skip.
Build the practice — fees, niche, marketing, and the business decisions most supervisors never touch.
GOOD TO KNOW
Questions associates ask
-
$375 per month, flat — covering the four hours of supervision the board expects each month, across individual and group. No per-session math, no surprise add-ons. Structure, scheduling, and payment get worked out before we start.
-
Texas requires 3,000 hours of supervised experience over at least 18 months, with at least 1,500 in direct client contact. Up to half of your supervision hours can happen in group supervision. Because you passed your exam before becoming an Associate, the hours are the final step — once they're complete, you apply for full licensure. We'll map your hours plan in your first session so you always know where you stand, and you'll track them in a format the board accepts.
-
Yes! Texas allows supervision by live video, and many choose virtual for convenience around a busy work schedule.
-
Collaborative, direct, and practical — with down-to-earth humor in the mix. I'll ask you questions to invoke your own critical thinking, because the goal is building your judgment, not renting mine. Expect straight feedback delivered with unconditional positive regard, real talk about the cases in front of you, and attention to the counselor you're becoming — not just the hours you're logging. And because I've built businesses as well as supervised clinicians, we'll talk business too: fees, niche, and what comes after the license.
-
Yes. Couples work is some of the hardest clinical territory to learn without support, and most supervisors don't specialize in it. I'm Gottman trained (Level 2) and a PREPARE/ENRICH certified facilitator, and couples therapy is a core part of my own practice — so if couples are part of your caseload, or you want them to be, supervision is a place to build that competency safely.
-
Partially — it depends on your role, your district, and what the board recognizes as professional counseling services. It’s one of the murkier corners of Texas licensure, and I won’t pretend otherwise. What I can tell you: I spent 17 years in education, 5 of them as a school counselor and 4 as a caseworker. I know this terrain, and sorting out your specific situation honestly is the first thing we’d do. Many education-based professionals build their hours through part-time telehealth work alongside the school job, and supervision with me is built around that path — evenings, the school calendar, and all.

Start with the Texas Therapy Office Directory, which I founded. It lists therapy offices for rent across Texas, including hourly and part-time rooms, and searching it is free.
