24 What to Look for in a Clinical Supervision Contract

Texas Counselors Creating Badass Businesses

The clinical supervision contract is by far the most under-taught concept in counselor education. Which is crazy, considering it's the foundation of the post-graduate supervisory relationship! It can be also be much more straightforward than we've been led to believe. So why are so many graduate students AND supervisors reluctant to take a closer look?

We often like to overcomplicate things, but in this episode I share simple tactics that are easy to understand. In fact, you can use this information along with Navigating the Supervision Search: A Comprehensive Guide for Counseling Graduate Students to create a great set of interview questions for a potential supervisor! At the core of this message is a vital attitude shift from passive supervisee to partner in supervision. Participants of the Kate Walker Training 40 Hour Clinical Supervisor Training Course use this same framework to create effective contracts for their future supervisees.

This session is an excellent behind-the-scenes look at what goes into a clinical contract and a blueprint for any supervisor looking to follow in these footsteps. My approach to the clinical contract is very practical, so I can't wait for you to hear all about it. The best part is that the tools discussed today can be used at any level, so listen in and enjoy!
