Clinical Supervision in the GTA.
Being a therapist can feel lonely at times, whether you’re in private practice or working within an agency. My hope in supervision is to ensure you don’t feel isolated in your work and that you have a supportive space to reflect, grow, and feel grounded in the direction you’re taking with your clients.
Especially as a therapist of colour or a therapist working with marginalized communities, there are additional layers that require curiosity and reflection. I believe discussions about intersections such as race, gender and power/privilege is necessary for therapists in order to work safely and effectively with clients.
As a therapist who has experience in both private and non-profit settings offering services to diverse populations in Toronto and the GTA, I bring this dialogue into supervision in order to prevent harm, work through internalized biases and offer anti-oppressive, trauma-informed care.
Upon request or if it seems beneficial, I offer art-based approaches during supervision for Art Therapists.
