Supervision Groups

Our advanced supervision groups are designed for clinicians to gain expertise in providing effective family and couples therapy for a broad diversity of clients. The small group format is ideal for ongoing case consultation, including video, live supervision/team consultation via one-way mirror, demonstration interviews, and work system consultation. CEUs for LCSWs, LMFTs, and LCPCs are available. Supervision groups are required for the Advanced Certificate. They can also be taken independently.
