Registered Canadian Art Therapist
Clinical Supervision.
It can sometimes feel like a lonely journey as a therapist, especially when we bump up against our own feelings
(counter-transferences, triggers or our therapist 'parts' as IFS would name it) that emerge in this beautiful yet heavy work.
My hope in supervision is to ensure that you as the therapist do not feel isolated in your practice, and that you have tools in your own toolkit to feel equipped enough to best serve your clients.
​
Especially as a therapist of colour or a therapist working with racialized and marginalized communities, there are additional layers that require a space to explore, reflect and be curious. I believe intersections of race and our cultural upbringing are interwoven into the therapy-client relationship, making it one of the most important dialogues we as therapists must have, either in or outside of the therapy setting.
I attempt to bring this dialogue into supervision in order for therapist's to work with a safe and effective use of self during sessions and to ultimately ensure their client's are best supported.
​
Upon request or if it seems beneficial, I offer art-based approaches during supervision for Art Therapists.
In accordance with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, it is the Registered Psychotherapist's responsibility to engage in regular and ongoing supervision in order to practice safe and effective use of self in therapy and to ensure the direction of therapy and therapeutic relationship best serves the needs of the client.
If you are a Qualifying therapist or a therapist working towards Independent Practice, it is a requirement from the CRPO to practice with clinical supervision.
