Working in the mental health field encompasses a range of challenges, spanning from feelings of isolation to managing demanding clinical caseloads, battling burnout, and even, confronting imposter syndrome. The very nature of our caretaking profession often leaves us, the mental health professionals, with an overwhelming experience, underscoring the critical need for effective support and guidance.

For those of us actively pursuing licensure as mental health professionals, clinical group supervision becomes an integral aspect of your growth and development. But let’s be honest - it can be really difficult to find a community of colleagues that get it. We know…we’ve been there.

Our bi-weekly supervision group is for Licensed Professional Counselor Candidates and Licensed Social Worker Candidates in Colorado. Together, we’ll come together to go beyond the conventional norms of supervision and create a space that not only supports you in your professional growth, but also aligns with your personal and communal values, and helping you build a community of like-minded professionals.

The Importance of Group Supervision

Clinical group supervision is a unique opportunity to come together with other professionals to receive mutual support and guidance. Together, as a collaborative and liberation-based collective, we dedicate our focus to the themes, needs, and presenting concerns that emerge within one another’s professional journey. Our supervisors, Lena and Josie, who manage a diverse caseload of individual and group clients from their own practices in Denver, will provide guidance informed by their clinical skills and lived experiences alongside other group members. This ensures that your experience during your group supervision is rooted in practical knowledge and lived experience, extending beyond just theoretical concepts.

    This six session commitment is required as group supervision is a very intimate and vulnerable experience that uplifts and practices community caretaking.

Because our office is virtual, you are able to join on a phone, tablet, or computer using the Google Meets app or dialing in once you have been given access to our Google Meets link. Through our virtual office, we are also able to assist you in turning on closed captioning and using the chat feature as additional, accessible ways to engage our virtual office.

    We use the word interfaith because to us, it means the exploration and bridging of various beliefs, values, traditions, cultures, and/or faiths. This is something that we believe all people can relate on, regardless of how they do or do not identify. When we work with people as a whole for who they are and who they aspire to be, this becomes a necessary part of the therapeutic process.
