Education & Supervision Services

Supervision Services

Working with Adolescents is a specialized area requiring knowledge and understanding of the many aspects of Adolescent development and the mental health needs of this group who often face many challenges in society. At AdolEssence we understand that professionals often seek guidance and support in their work to better understand appropriate interventions and support for the enhancement of their skills and competencies as professionals.

I provide supervision to individuals, groups and organizations who work with adolescents and families in both a clinical setting and in the education field. I also work with student therapists. 

Clinical Adolescent Supervision
The purpose of this specialized supervision is to offer both insight and direction in the many areas of adolescent mental health and behavioral presentations which form an enormous part of work with adolescents and families. The supervision is designed to guide you as individuals or within groups to develop knowledge in the presentations of anxiety, stress, self-harm, and trauma which form much of our work with adolescents. Supervision is focused on you the individual or team to understand how you work with the adolescent and family, why you use the interventions you do and how you would like to develop your practice further to enhance and support your ongoing work with adolescents. This support is tailored to meet your individual or organizational needs and works within the remit of Adolescent Psychotherapy, Family Systems Theory and Humanistic & Integrative Supervision.
