Supervision for Therapists Finding Their Own Way
Supervision in Seattle’s Capitol Hill neighborhood or online throughout Washington State.
Hello! I’m Julia, a Washington State approved supervisor who loves working with clinicians who are new to, considering, or already navigating the joys and challenges of private practice.
Whether you’re a new graduate pursuing your independent license, a clinician who’s been in the game for years and needs a fresh perspective, or somewhere in between, I’d love to support you on this wild road of being a therapist as you continue to grow, learn, and do your best work.
Going into private practice can bring up a lot of our old “stuff.”
Negative self-talk. Imposter syndrome. Feeling pressure to get everything right. Constantly wondering Am I doing enough?
These feelings are incredibly common when you’re beginning your career as a therapist or venturing out into private practice.
As someone who has experienced these challenges firsthand, I understand how difficult it can be to trust yourself, put yourself out there, and feel confident, even when you have the knowledge and skills to be a competent and effective clinician.
In supervision, we’ll make space to explore what comes up for you and consider how your personal experiences may be shaping your clinical work. My goal is to help you develop greater self-awareness without allowing self-doubt or the pressure to get everything right interfere with your growth as a therapist.
Spend less energy feeling overwhelmed, and more time doing the work you care about.
You didn’t become a therapist because you love administrative work. I think supervision can be a great space to support you in the business side of building your practice so that you can prioritize your clinical work and becoming the therapist you want to be.
Together, we will:
Identify the populations you want to work with
Explore the therapeutic approaches and modalities that align with your values and interests
Identify and develop your niche
Find ways to market your practice that feel authentic to you
Create systems that make the administrative side of practice less stressful and more manageable
Navigate the uncertainty, challenges, and growth that come with private practice
A Safe Space to Grow
I supervise through the same trauma-informed lens that informs my therapeutic approach. It's important that you feel safe and comfortable enough in supervision to share your full experience as a new clinician.
That means the highs and the lows, because…that’s how we learn!
Becoming a therapist is vulnerable and can be scary at times. You’re learning to sit with other people’s pain and discomfort, make important clinical decisions, and develop your unique approach in a profession that can often make it feel like you’re supposed to have all the answers or should be doing more.
I strive to make supervision a place where you can ask questions, think out loud, make mistakes and work through challenges without feeling like you have to know everything or do everything perfectly.
I’ll provide you with the structure, knowledge, and support you need to become a confident, skilled and ethical therapist.
Fees and Format
Individual supervision: $125 per hour
Dyadic supervision: $200 per hour
Dyadic supervision is a great way to gain supervision hours while learning alongside another clinician who is navigating some of the same questions and challenges.
For dyadic supervision, two supervisees split the same hour as well as the cost, so each clinician pays $100 per hour.
Supervision sessions can take place in person at my office in Capitol Hill or virtually throughout Washington State.
