Is This Training for You?
This training is designed for licensed counselors who currently supervise or graduate level counselors preparing to supervise. Participants include clinicians who want to think more intentionally about how culture, identity and power shape the supervisory relationship. Whether you share your supervisee’s identities or not, we’ll explore what it means to stay curious, recognize blind spots and create supervision that supports both clinician growth and client care.

Learning Objectives for this Course
By the end of this training, participants will be able to: 1. Examine established supervision models through a cultural lens and identify how culture and identity may influence the way supervisors interpret and apply them. 2. Examine supervisor and supervisee reactions before assigning meaning to them, considering how culture, bias, lived experience, context, and countertransference may be influencing the supervisory relationship. 3. Navigate cultural differences and shared identities without assuming either “I can’t understand” or “I already understand.”

About the course
Clinical supervision is never just about case concepts or clients. We bring our identities, experiences, values, assumptions, and ways of understanding the world into the supervisory relationship, and so do our supervisees. This interactive training looks at what happens when all of that shows up in supervision. We’ll talk about applying theories that weren’t always developed with our needs in mind, making sense of reactions between supervisors and supervisees, navigating both cultural differences and the familiarity that can come with shared identities, and recognizing how our own ideas about professionalism and competence influence the way we supervise. Rather than spending 2.5 hours simply talking about the importance of cultural awareness, we’ll dig into the decisions supervisors actually have to make. What needs to be adapted? What needs to be challenged? What might I be assuming? And when does the situation call for us to think differently about how a clinical standard is applied? The goal is to leave with a more intentional way of navigating culture and identity in supervision while still providing clear, clinically sound guidance to the clinicians you supervise.
