Clinical supervision is a profession with its own theories, practices, and standards. It was only recently acknowledged as a discrete process with its own concepts and approaches. A clinical supervisor must be several things – they must supervise the client, counselor, and organization. They have a legal and ethical responsibility to ensure quality client care, professional development for counselors, and maintenance of program policies and procedures. The relationship is one of teacher, consultant, coach, mentor/role model – each one just as important as the other. When helping an LPC-S Candidate through the process, it is an ongoing process that also includes being a gatekeeper for the profession. Whether you are new or seasoned to being an LPC-S this workshop is geared to bring new perspective.

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

1.       Discuss models of supervision.

2.       List at least 3 examples of ‘bad supervision’.

3.       List situations that may trigger transference.

4.       List at least 3 situations an LPC-S Candidate may not be appropriate to be an LPC-S.

5.       Discuss essential steps to follow for every LPC-S Candidate.

Members of Generation Z (born between 1995 and 2012) and Generation Alpha (born between 2013 and now) have very little, if any memory of a life without a smartphone or access to the internet. They are often dubbed “digital natives”. Their world since birth has been social media, political polarization, social unrest, school shootings and climate change discussions. Depression and anxiety are at an all-time high with this particular set of generations – and rightly so, given our world. This workshop is a discussion revolving around the struggles of anxiety and depression being reported in increasingly higher numbers and best practices when working with this population.

Bring your experiences and share with other participants what has worked for you.

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

1.       List at least 2 differences between Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

Competence in supervision is an elusive concept that can be difficult to define particularly because competence is not an ‘either-or’ characteristic. Competence exists on a continuum with maximum professional effectiveness at one end and gross negligence or incompetence at the other extreme. Generally speaking, however, competence as a supervisor is viewed as a quality that can be intentionally acquired through training, credentials and experience. In this workshop, we will touch on what is necessary to be considered a competent clinical supervisor while maintaining the appropriate behavioral techniques as part of the supervisory process.

All supervisory relationships have a beginning, and all supervisors and supervisees whether they know each other or not, share common concerns from the beginning about the future of that relationship.  Supervisors must be active from the start to build a collaborative working relationship because that relationship is so central to a successful supervision experience. Just as therapists must explain to clients the therapeutic process to reduce client anxiety and ask clients what goals they want for therapy; supervisors must do the same with supervisees. We will touch on different topics, including the importance of reviewing with supervisees the specific requirements, such as ethical codes, licensure requirements and overarching standards.

There is no doubt that technology has made it easier to communicate. It is also easier to shut someone out when we are confronted with online confusion and/or discourse. Why bother to understand strangers – or even those with whom we are not strangers – when you can troll them, block them, or just click “Unfriend” and never look back? However briefly satisfying that may be, it is also potentially eroding one of our most human traits: empathy.

As part of this workshop, you will learn about the different types of empathy, as well as the transformed sense of empathy in the world today. We will also look at social media narcissism in young adults and the result of increased sense of superiority. Engineering and technology, along with empathy as a technical skill will also be talking points. Bring any examples and concerns you may have to the table – this will be a lively discussion with varying points of view.

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

1.       List at least 3 types of empathy.

2.       List at least 2 reasons for the overall decline in empathy.

3.       List at least 2 ways to improve empathy while using technology.

4.       List at least 2 characteristics of Emotional Intelligence.

5.       List at least 2 questions to ask before downloading an new app.

Group supervision is a format that has its advantages as well as drawbacks. Group supervision can serve as a complement to individual supervision and can be used as an efficient learning tool. Many times, however, it is selected simply as a means to solve the supervisor’s time constraints rather than to increase learning benefits for supervisees. With more forethought, group supervision can have more far-reaching benefits, such as encouraging team building, promoting risk-taking, diffusing issues of power and authority and invigorating bored or burned-out supervisees. We will touch on the structuring of group supervision and issues that should be considered when building an effective group.

The field of clinical supervision is long on tradition but short on improvement. Newer (and sometimes seasoned) supervisors may rely on these traditional practices/approaches rather than seek out new ones. There are several popular approaches to clinical supervision that beginning supervisors might painstakingly assume are the only viable choices available. Therefore, it is important to discuss these approaches and delineate significant pitfalls and problems that exist with each of them before turning to current supervision research and writing. We will touch on several of these models – many of you are using these models without even realizing it!

The codes of ethics of all the major mental health professions caution against entering into a dual relationship whenever a power differential exists between two parties, such as counselor and client or supervisor and supervisee. Despite this caution, the codes recognize that dual relationships cannot always be avoided nor are they necessarily always harmful. The complexities involved will be discussed in this workshop, along with maintaining boundaries in both counseling and supervision.

In order to practice in an ethical manner, supervisees, just like clients, need to be informed on the purpose, methods and expectations for supervision before the supervisory process begins. The use of an informed consent agreement and the supervision contract can smooth the way and reduce the risk of conflicts. In this workshop, we will touch on the main purpose of these agreements/contracts and how they can create a shared understanding of the ethical standards of practice for supervision.

Do you seek perfection? Does everything need to be flawless – without possible failure? There are times we need to be perfect, or near perfect – when building a bridge or performing surgery. But for most of us, most of the time, there is always room for a margin of error. An attachment to being perfect reflects a lack of self-compassion and wisdom – something we work with our clients and associates regularly. In this workshop, you will learn more about the importance of emotional health, which requires gentleness toward ourselves as we embrace inevitable failures. Whether for yourself, your clients or your associates, this workshop is sure to bring a different perspective to perfectionism.

Upon completion, participants should be able to:

1.       Discuss the meaning/definition of perfection.

2.       List at least 3 ways to break free of the mold of perfection.

3.       List at least 3 therapeutic techniques to assist in improving self-esteem.

4.       List at least 3 types/modes of self-talk.

5.       List at least 3 modes of compassion toward the inner critic.

People who have been subjected to exploitation, isolation and thought control in a cult and who work up the courage to leave, do so with many psychological and emotional wounds. Many of them seek out therapy to help recover from the damaging after-effects. Unfortunately, cult victims often report that therapists just do not seem to 'get' all that they endured in the cult, and all the challenges they face once out of the cult. In fact, many cult victims abandon therapy, feeling that their therapist just did not understand the the degree to which they had been controlled, repressed, exploited and abused. Many recount that they felt their experience seemed to be discounted as something they just needed to put behind them. In this workshop, we will discuss the cults currently in existence along with a few from the past. We will also discuss best practices when working with cult survivors. Several video vignettes will be shared.
