Clinical Supervision

Individual and Dyadic Supervision

Individual: 60 minutes | $170 (HST included) Dyadic: 60 minutes | $85 (HST included)

Clinical supervision is an essential tool for learning how to practice the act of psychotherapy safely, how to approach different ethical dilemmas, effectively apply other therapeutic modalities, and engage in reflective practice. We help support professionals in the areas of case conceptualization, professional development, professional identity, CRPO registration, ethical guidelines, fulfilling placement requirements, managing a private practice, fulfilling their supervision requirements for the CRPO, and developing theoretical orientation.

Seeking clinical supervision gives a supervisee the opportunity to form a professional relationship with a qualified psychotherapist and supervisor with the intention to expand the supervisee’s competencies, knowledge, and efficacy in providing psychotherapy services. This offers psychotherapists a supportive and confidential space to review clinical work, receive feedback, and refine their skills. Clinical supervision also helps psychotherapists in their ability to uphold ethical and legal implications, and address any professional challenges that may arise for them.

The supervisory relationship is a collaborative mentorship tailored to the unique needs of each therapist/supervisee and their clients. My main role as your supervisor is to ensure that you practice psychotherapy safely for the client and yourself, and help you critically examine your intentions while using particular techniques or psychotherapy modalities.

Our supervision meetings are held online through Jane Video or in person at 563 Gladstone Ave (unit 27).

  • Individual Supervision

    In individual Supervision, the supervisee and supervisor meet one-on-one for a 60-minute meeting. Individual Supervision is a space to gain valuable one-on-one training, engage in active learning, and obtain practical experience. Professionals seeking a personalized learning environment would benefit from these meetings.

  • Dyadic Supervision

    Dyadic Supervision operates in the same way as Individual Supervision but with a dyadic partner. This means the supervisees meet with one other colleague and their supervisor. Dyads for supervision offer direct and personal attention to details with the addition of connection, learning and feedback from a peer with similar training and interests.

    It is preferred that supervisees come to this form of supervision with a dyadic partner. However, I will do my best to match supervisees up, should I know of any therapists looking to join a dyadic group.

“Individual Supervision provides the space for personal growth and self-reflection, nurturing the unique potential within each practitioner.

Dyadic Supervision fosters collaboration and mutual learning, creating a dynamic exchange that enriches the therapeutic journey for both parties. Together, they form a powerful partnership in the pursuit of excellence in the helping professions.”

Your Clinical Supervisor

As a Clinical Supervisor, I practice from an integrative model of supervision, mostly drawing from reflective and developmental models. Meaning, our supervision is intended to assist you in improving your case conceptualization, assessment and psychotherapy skills as well as to support your reflective practice skills, professional development and self-care.

Supervision with me is supervisee-led! This means that you are encouraged to come to meetings prepared with topics to discuss and receive support with. Supervisees will be asked to formulate a goal for the supervisory process and regular check-ins with regard to those goals will be part of the supervision process.

I have been providing supervision to mental health professionals since 2020 in a variety of settings: 

  • Somerset West Community Heath Centre: RSWs, RP(Q)s, and RPs providing mental health and counselling services 

  • Saint Paul University: counselling interns as they complete their internal practicum training at Saint Paul's Counselling and Psychotherapy Centre

  • within Drice Psychotherapy: internally to associate therapists, externally to counselling/psychotherapy interns, RP(Q)s, and RPs

Please contact us if you have any questions, or concerns, or to book your supervision session.

Clinical supervision offers guidance and feedback in the form of discussions about the therapeutic relationship, ethical dilemmas, clinical interventions, and other practice facets. The ultimate goal is to enhance your clinical competency and efficacy, with a focus on personal and professional growth.
