What is the best way for a new LCSW to find a clinical supervisor?

If you mean a new LCSW who is looking for a clinical supervisor for ongoing professional development/consultation, rather than supervision required to obtain the LCSW, I’d approach it a little differently. If you mean an LSW working toward the LCSW, the requirements are more specific.

If you're working toward the LCSW in New Jersey

The best approach is:

1. Start with your employer.
   Ask whether they have an LCSW who can provide your required supervision. If they don't, ask whether they permit outside/off-site supervision. New Jersey specifically allows paid outside supervision, but there are documentation and employer-consent requirements.

2. Use the NASW-NJ Clinical Supervisor Directory.
   This is probably the best starting point in NJ because the listed supervisors have completed the required supervision coursework and have at least three years of LCSW experience.

3. Ask experienced LCSWs for referrals.
   Your graduate-school professors, former field instructors, colleagues, therapists in your professional network, and local social-work groups can be surprisingly good sources. I'd specifically ask: "Who would you recommend as a strong clinical supervisor for someone with my population and clinical interests?"

4. Choose for clinical fit—not just credentials.
   Look for someone who has substantial experience with the population you treat and who practices in modalities you're interested in learning. A supervisor should be someone you can comfortably bring difficult cases, mistakes, ethical concerns, countertransference, and uncertainty to—not simply someone who signs paperwork.

5. Interview 3–5 supervisors.
   Before committing, ask:

   • What is your supervision model?
   • How much is individual vs. group supervision?
   • What is your fee?
   • How often do we meet?
   • What populations/modalities do you specialize in?
   • How do you handle an ethical or high-risk case?
   • What documentation do you provide?
   • Can I speak openly if I disagree with you?
   • Do you have experience supervising clinicians pursuing NJ LCSW licensure?

One important NJ detail

If you're still accumulating the 3,000 clinical hours toward your NJ LCSW, don't choose a supervisor based solely on the fact that they're an LCSW. NJ requires the supervisor to be an NJ-licensed LCSW with at least three years of LCSW experience and 20 hours of approved postgraduate clinical-supervision coursework. Supervision must generally be at least one hour per week.

The NJ Board also strongly recommends submitting a Proposed Plan of Supervised Clinical Experience before starting, because it gives you an opportunity to have the Board review whether the proposed supervision/work arrangement will qualify.

Since you're in the South Jersey area

There are actually several local practices/providers advertising clinical supervision, including Walker-Graham & Associates, Daring Wellness in Cherry Hill, Core Counseling South Jersey in Voorhees, Jenna Cotton, LCSW in Moorestown, and Laurie Suttenberg+LCSW DCSW in Cherry Hill. These are potential leads rather than endorsements, and I'd verify their current NJ Board eligibility before counting any supervision toward licensure.

If you tell me (1) whether you're already an LCSW or are an LSW working toward it, (2) your clinical population/specialty, and (3) whether you want paid individual supervision or would consider a group, I can narrow this down to a good shortlist of supervisors in South Jersey/Philadelphia and compare them.

The best way for a new LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) to find a qualified clinical supervisor is to leverage state-specific registries, specialized matching platforms like the Clinical Supervision Directory , or local professional networks like the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) . Securing independent off-site or on-site supervision typically costs between $50 to $250 per hour for individual sessions, though many community mental health agencies, hospitals, or group private practices build free or subsidized supervision directly into employment packages.

Top Strategies to Find a Clinical Supervisor

• State Licensing Boards: Check your state's social work regulatory board website, which often maintains an official, up-to-date public roster or registry of board-approved clinical supervisors organized by city or zip code.
• NASW Chapter Registries: Search your local NASW state chapter's dedicated clinical supervisor directory (e.g., NASW-NC Directory, NASW-OH Supervision Registry , or NASW-GA Registry ) to find vetted, credentialed professionals.
• Specialized Directories: Use targeted digital connection platforms such as the Clinical Supervision Directory to filter supervisors by location, clinical specialty, and therapeutic modality.
• Professional Social Media & Local Groups: Join regional therapist and social worker networking groups on platforms like Facebook or local listservs where supervisors actively advertise open slots for individual or group hours.
• Word of Mouth & Academic Roots: Ask former graduate school professors, field placement (internship) coordinators, or trusted professional colleagues for direct recommendations.

Steps to Evaluate and Secure a Supervisor

1. Shortlist Candidates: Compile a list of 3 to 5 potential supervisors whose clinical background matches your target population (e.g., trauma, CBT, family therapy).
2. Request a Consultation: Reach out via email to ask about their theoretical orientation, availability for emergencies, and whether they offer a brief introductory consultation.
3. Verify Compliance: Ensure their active independent license type and post-licensure years fulfill your specific state board requirements (such as specific supervisor designation coursework).
4. Finalize the Agreement: Confirm rates, format (individual vs. group hours), and sign a formal supervision contract before tracking hours.

If you share your state and your preferred clinical focus or specialty (such as trauma, children, or private practice growth), I can help you find specific regional registries or local resources to start your search.

If you're a new LCSW in New Jersey who is looking for clinical supervision, I’d approach it as a combination of regulatory due diligence + finding someone whose clinical style fits you. You don't necessarily need to take the first supervisor who has availability.

1. Start with the NASW-NJ supervisor directory

This is probably the best first stop in New Jersey. NASW-NJ maintains a statewide clinical supervisor directory specifically for people seeking supervision. Their listed supervisors have held an LCSW for at least three years and completed the required supervision training.

2. Ask your workplace before looking outside

If you're employed at a hospital, agency, group practice, community mental health center, school, etc., ask:

• Who provides clinical supervision?
• Is supervision included in your employment?
• Can you choose your supervisor?
• Can you receive outside supervision if you don't feel the internal option is a good fit?

Outside supervision is permitted in NJ, but your employer needs to consent and provide the appropriate documentation.

3. Don't choose based solely on "LCSW"

I'd interview 3–5 potential supervisors. You're looking for someone who has both the credentials and the clinical experience you want to develop.

Ask things like:

"What does a typical supervision session look like?"

"How do you approach a clinician who is struggling with a case?"

"How much of supervision is case consultation versus teaching theory/skills?"

"What populations and modalities do you have the most experience with?"

"How do you handle risk assessment, documentation, countertransference, and ethical dilemmas?"

"Do you provide feedback about my clinical weaknesses as well as strengths?"

"What happens if we disagree about a clinical decision?"

The last two questions are particularly important. Good supervision should be developmental, not just someone signing your paperwork.

4. Verify the supervisor's NJ credentials before you start

For NJ clinical supervision, the supervisor must be an NJ-licensed LCSW, have been licensed at the clinical level for at least three years, and have completed at least 20 hours of approved post-graduate clinical-supervision coursework.

I'd actually ask to see documentation of the supervisor's 20-hour supervision training before beginning. NASW-NJ specifically recommends doing this because otherwise your hours could potentially become a problem later.

5. Think about what kind of clinician you want to become

This is where I'd put a lot of weight.

For example, if you want to become excellent at:

• trauma → find someone with substantial trauma experience
• psychodynamic therapy → find a psychodynamic supervisor
• CBT/DBT → find someone who actually practices and teaches those modalities
• couples/family work → find someone trained in systemic approaches
• private practice → find someone who understands both clinical work and practice development
• hospital/medical social work → find someone with that background
• complex/high-risk clients → prioritize someone experienced with crisis, suicidality, hospitalization, etc.

Your supervisor doesn't have to practice exactly the way you do, but they should be able to stretch your clinical thinking.

6. If you're in the Hoboken/Jersey City area

There are also some local practices advertising supervision that you could investigate, including:

• Wildflower Therapy in Hoboken — advertises weekly clinical supervision for clinicians working toward LCSW/LPC licensure.
• Real Supervision and Counseling Services in Jersey City — specifically offers clinical supervision for NJ LCSW candidates.
• Divya Dodhia, LCSW, ADHD-CCSP - Teen and Family Therapy in Jersey CIty, New Jersey — offers clinical supervision with an emphasis on reflective practice, ethics, cultural competence, and professional development.
• InTherapy Institute in Hoboken — offers clinical supervision and professional development for clinicians.
• Healing on Hudson: Specialized Therapists for New Jersey in Hoboken — offers professional supervision/training, including an eating-disorder-informed focus.

I'd treat these as leads rather than endorsements and independently verify that the particular person you would work with meets current NJ Board requirements.

One important distinction

If by "new LCSW" you mean you just obtained your LCSW and are looking for supervision to become a better clinician, rather than supervision required to obtain the LCSW, your options are much broader. You don't necessarily need a supervisor who meets the NJ LCSW-candidate supervision requirements—you can seek a mentor/consultant/supervisor based primarily on clinical expertise and fit.

If you're actually an LSW working toward the NJ LCSW, that's different: NJ requires 3,000 hours of supervised clinical social work, with specific requirements concerning client contact, psychotherapy, and supervision.

My recommendation: identify 5 potential supervisors, schedule brief consultation calls with 3, and choose based on clinical expertise + teaching ability + interpersonal fit, not simply price or convenience. A supervisor is one of the biggest influences on your early clinical development, so it's worth being selective.

Finding the right clinical supervisor is one of the most important milestones for a new Associate/LCSW working toward independent licensure. Because a good supervisor shapes your clinical lens and professional safety, you want to approach the search methodically.

Here are the best ways to find a qualified, compatible clinical supervisor:

• State Chapter Directories (NASW) : Check your local chapter of the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) . Many state chapters maintain a specific supervisor registry or professional directory where credentialed clinical supervisors (e.g., LCSW-S) list their availability.
• Local Professional Networks & Facebook Groups : Search for regional or state-specific social work and mental health networking groups on Facebook or LinkedIn (e.g., "State Name Clinical Social Workers" or "LCSW Supervision [State]"). Members frequently post recommendations or availability for private pay/independent supervision.
• University Field Placement Offices : Reach out to the School of Social Work at local universities where you earned your MSW. Field directors and professors often keep active lists of approved local field instructors and independent clinical supervisors.
• Community Mental Health & Agency Contacts : If you work at an agency, ask your colleagues who they use or if the agency has a contract with an external supervisor (if your agency doesn't provide internal supervision). Networking with peers at other local clinics can also reveal who has a reputation for being an exceptional mentor.
• Private Practice Directories (Psychology Today / TherapyDen) : Many private practice therapists who hold supervisor credentials explicitly state "Clinical Supervision Available" in their profiles on directories like Psychology Today . You can filter your search by your location and specialty.
• State Licensing Board Resources : Your state's behavioral health/social work licensing board publishes the exact legal requirements for supervisors (e.g., years licensed post-LCSW, specific supervisor training courses). Always cross-reference any potential supervisor against the board requirements to ensure their credentials will count toward your hours.

If you'd like, let me know:

• Your state or jurisdiction
• Your specific clinical niche or population (e.g., trauma, children, SUD)

I can give you more tailored advice on what specific questions to ask during a supervision interview.

For a new LCSW (or someone working toward independent clinical licensure), the best way to find a clinical supervisor is to treat it like finding a professional mentor—not just filling a requirement. A strong match can shape your clinical style, confidence, and career direction.

Here are the most effective approaches:

1. Start with your state licensing board

Your state board is often the most reliable place to verify who is eligible to provide supervision. Requirements vary widely by state (for example, some require specific supervision training or a certain number of years post-licensure).

2. Use NASW and social work-specific directories

Your state chapter of the National Association of Social Workers may have a clinical supervision directory or referral program. Some chapters maintain lists of LCSWs who provide supervision, and some offer matching services.

3. Ask people you respect in the field

Personal referrals are often the highest-quality route. Ask:

• Former field instructors
• Professors or MSW program faculty
• Trusted colleagues
• Therapists you have collaborated with
• Agency clinical directors

A good question is:
“Who provided supervision that genuinely helped you grow as a clinician?”

4. Search by specialty—not just availability

Look for someone who matches the kind of clinician you want to become:

• Trauma/PTSD
• Couples/family therapy
• Children/adolescents
• Substance use
• Eating disorders
• Private practice
• Medical social work
• Community mental health
• EMDR, CBT, ACT, psychodynamic, etc.

A supervisor who understands your population and treatment approach can be much more useful than someone who simply has an opening.

5. Interview several supervisors

Do not choose the first person who responds. Ask about:

• How long have you been an LCSW?
• Are you approved/qualified under my state’s rules?
• How often do we meet?
• Individual or group supervision?
• What is your supervision style?
• What do you expect from supervisees?
• How do you handle clinical emergencies?
• What documentation do you provide?
• What is the fee and cancellation policy?

Some social work organizations specifically recommend interviewing potential supervisors and evaluating fit, accessibility, expectations, and supervision experience.

6. Consider paid private supervision if your workplace is not a fit

Many clinicians receive supervision through their employer, but some seek outside supervisors when workplace supervision is unavailable or does not meet their learning needs. naswde.socialworkers.org Paid supervision is common, especially for clinicians in private practice or agencies without qualified supervisors.

Signs of a strong supervisor

Look for someone who: ✅ Gives thoughtful feedback (not just case updates)
✅ Encourages independent clinical judgment
✅ Discusses ethics, boundaries, and countertransference
✅ Helps you build confidence without making decisions for you
✅ Has ongoing training and supervision experience

Red flags

Be cautious if a supervisor: ❌ Focuses only on paperwork or hours
❌ Rarely reviews cases in depth
❌ Is difficult to reach during crises when your state requires availability
❌ Does not have clear expectations or a supervision contract
❌ Makes you feel afraid to bring up mistakes or uncertainty

If you tell me your state, whether you need post-MSW hours toward LCSW or ongoing consultation after licensure, and your clinical area (therapy, medical, schools, etc.), I can suggest more targeted places to look.

Finding the right clinical supervisor is one of the most important steps in your transition from a master's-level social worker to an independently licensed LCSW . The "best" way isn't a single action, but a multi-pronged approach that balances your state board's strict legal requirements with finding a mentor whose clinical style fits your growth.

The most effective, step-by-step framework to find a qualified and compatible clinical supervisor includes:

1. Check Your State Board Requirements First
   • Before reaching out to anyone, log onto your state’s behavioral health/social work licensing board website.
   • Verify the exact breakdown of required hours (individual vs. group), the required post-licensure years for the supervisor, and whether they need a specialized "supervisor designation" or specific continuing education coursework.
2. Use Dedicated Clinical Supervisor Directories
   • NASW State Chapters: Many local chapters of the National Association of Social Workers host active, state-specific registries or directories of credentialed supervisors. Check resources like the NASW-NJ Clinical Supervisor Directory or your local chapter's member portal.
   • Specialized Platforms: Broaden your geographic or niche search using dedicated matching platforms like the Clinical Supervision Directory or specialized virtual networks like Motivo Health.
   • Therapist Directories: On platforms like Psychology Today , you can filter local independent practitioners by checking the "Supervision Services" category.
3. Leverage Professional Networks and Local Societies
   • Contact local clinical social work societies (such as the California Society for Clinical Social Work or your regional equivalent) which often maintain private referral rosters for members.
   • Reach out to former MSW professors, field liaisons, or trusted colleagues already in the field to ask for direct recommendations.
   • Search or post in regional therapist-focused LinkedIn and professional Facebook networking groups.
4. Interview 3 to 5 Candidates (The "Fit" Check)
   • Treat initial consultations as interviews. Ask potential supervisors about their theoretical orientation (CBT, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, etc.), their structural style (directive vs. reflective), and their experience handling ethical dilemmas or private practice logistics. Ensure their professional background matches the clinical population you intend to work with.

If you'd like, let me know:

• Your state of licensure
• Your preferred specialty or therapeutic modality (e.g., trauma, CBT, children)
• Whether you prefer virtual or in-person supervision

I can give you more targeted ideas on where to look in your region!

The best clinical supervisor is usually not simply the first qualified person you find—it's someone whose clinical style, teaching approach, and experience align with the type of clinician you want to become.

Here are the approaches that tend to work best:

1. Start with your state NASW chapter or licensing board. Many states maintain supervisor directories or approved supervisor lists. For example, the Virginia chapter of NASW offers a Qualified Supervisor Directory for clinicians seeking supervision.

2. Ask your graduate program. MSW programs often keep informal lists of alumni and field instructors who provide supervision. Even a few years after graduation, faculty are often willing to make introductions.

3. Network through your workplace. If your employer doesn't provide supervision, ask experienced LCSWs where they received supervision or who they recommend. Word-of-mouth referrals often lead to better matches than online directories.

4. Interview several supervisors. Think of supervision as a professional partnership. Schedule 15–30 minute consultation calls with 3–5 supervisors before deciding.

During those conversations, ask questions like:

• What theoretical orientations do you use?
• What populations do you specialize in?
• How do you structure supervision sessions?
• How do you balance support with constructive feedback?
• What are your expectations between meetings?
• What is your availability if urgent clinical questions come up?
• What are your fees and cancellation policies?

5. Look for fit beyond credentials. A great supervisor should:

• Have expertise in the populations you serve.
• Be knowledgeable about your state's licensure requirements.
• Challenge your clinical thinking while remaining approachable.
• Provide ethical guidance, not just sign off on hours.
• Offer timely, actionable feedback.

6. Verify qualifications. Before committing, confirm that the supervisor meets your state's requirements for supervising licensure hours and that their license is active and in good standing. State requirements vary considerably.

One practical tip from many social workers is to contact more supervisors than you think you'll need. Good supervisors often have waiting lists, and some directories aren't completely up to date. People frequently report that reaching out to 10–20 supervisors is normal before finding the right fit.

If you're comfortable sharing what state you're licensed in, I can point you to the most relevant supervisor directory and explain any state-specific supervision requirements.

Finding the right clinical supervisor as a new MSW/associate (working toward your LCSW) requires balancing state board requirements, clinical alignment, and cost . Because many modern agencies do not provide adequate or independent in-house clinical supervision, finding an outside professional is a common rite of passage.

The best approach is multi-layered, combining official directories, targeted networking, and careful vetting.

1. Check State Licensing Board Resources First

Before hunting for a person, verify your state’s specific board rules (e.g., the California Board of Behavioral Sciences or equivalent state board) regarding who qualifies as an approved supervisor.

• State Board Directories: Many state licensing boards maintain an active or searchable registry/directory of licensees who hold explicit supervisor credentials or have completed board-approved supervisor training courses.
• License Lookup Tools: You can often search your local zip code on your state's license verification database, filtering specifically for clinicians who carry supervisor designations.

2. Leverage Professional Associations & Specialized Directories

Professional networks designed for mental health clinicians are one of the most reliable pipelines for finding independent supervisors.

• NASW State Chapters: Reach out to or search your local National Association of Social Workers (NASW) chapter. Many local chapters host dedicated Clinical Supervisor Registries or classified boards for members.
• Clinical Societies: Look into localized groups such as a state Society for Clinical Social Work (e.g., California Society for Clinical Social Work ) which frequently maintain peer-reviewed member lists of available supervisors, sometimes even offering tiered or low-cost options for associate members.
• Therapist Directories: Platforms like Psychology Today or TherapyDen allow providers to check a specific filter for "Supervision Services" alongside their geographic location and clinical niche.
• Dedicated Databases: Use niche connection hubs like The Clinical Supervision Directory to filter supervisors by state, clinical setting, and specific modalities.

3. Tap Into Academic and Peer Networks

• MSW Alma Mater: Contact your graduate school’s department of social work or field placement office. They often keep referral lists of seasoned field instructors and trusted alumni who provide private supervision.
• Local Peer Groups: Professional networking spaces—including regional social work LinkedIn circles or local social work peer groups on Facebook—are active places to request direct recommendations. Posting an inquiry detailing your geographic area (or openness to telehealth/virtual supervision) and your clinical focus often yields direct replies from vetted supervisors.

4. Interview Potential Supervisors (The Consultation)

Treat the initial meeting as a mutual interview. A supervisor isn't just someone who signs your hours; they are a critical mentor for your clinical foundation. Be sure to ask:

• Theoretical Orientation: Do their modalities (e.g., CBT, psychodynamic, family systems) match the type of clinician you want to become?
• Supervision Style: Are they structured and directive, or more reflective and collaborative?
• Format and Logistics: Do they offer individual, triadic, or group supervision, and how do their fees align with your budget?
• Board Familiarity: Are they completely up-to-date on your specific state board’s required documentation, supervisor training hours, and paperwork verification processes?

If you want to narrow this down, let me know:

• What state you are seeking licensure in
• Whether you prefer in-person or virtual (telehealth) supervision
• Your intended clinical focus or setting (e.g., private practice, community mental health)

I can help point you toward the exact state resources or directories to check first.

If you're newly licensed (or newly registered as an associate working toward licensure, depending on your state), the most effective approach is to combine networking, professional directories, and careful vetting. The goal is to find a supervisor who is both qualified and a good clinical fit—not just someone who can sign off on hours.

Here are the strategies that tend to work best:

1. Start with your employer. Many community mental health agencies, hospitals, and group practices provide supervision as part of employment. If they don't, ask whether they reimburse outside supervision or maintain a list of approved supervisors. Community feedback suggests that employer-provided supervision is still the most common route.

2. Use your state licensing board's resources. Many licensing boards publish supervisor qualifications, supervision guides, and sometimes referrals or professional organizations that maintain supervisor lists. If you're in California, the California Board of Behavioral Sciences provides guidance on supervisor qualifications and supervision requirements.

3. Contact your MSW program. Most schools of social work keep informal lists of alumni and field instructors who provide supervision, even years after graduation.

4. Reach out to your state chapter of the social work association. Organizations such as state chapters of the National Association of Social Workers often have networking events, listservs, or consultation groups where supervisors are recommended by colleagues.

5. Search therapist directories. Many supervisors advertise through directories such as Psychology Today or TherapyDen, where you can filter by specialty, population served, and supervision availability.

6. Network intentionally. Attend continuing education events, consultation groups, local social work meetups, or professional Facebook and LinkedIn groups. Personal recommendations often lead to the strongest supervision relationships.

When you've identified potential supervisors, schedule a consultation and ask questions like:

• What is your theoretical orientation?
• What populations do you specialize in?
• How do you structure supervision?
• How do you provide feedback?
• What are your expectations between sessions?
• What are your fees, cancellation policy, and availability?
• Have you supervised clinicians with goals similar to mine?

A good supervisor should help you develop clinical reasoning, ethical decision-making, and confidence—not simply verify hours.

If you're paying privately, expect rates to vary widely by location and experience. It's worth asking whether the supervisor offers:

• Sliding-scale fees
• Group supervision (if permitted by your board)
• Virtual supervision
• Employer reimbursement options

One question that often gets overlooked is, "What kinds of clinicians thrive under your supervision?" Their answer can tell you a lot about whether your working styles are compatible.

If you tell me what state you're in (or country, if outside the U.S.), I can point you toward the most relevant supervisor directories and professional organizations for your area.

Finding a clinical supervisor is a critical step for a new Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) or LMSW pursuing independent licensure. The best approaches involve leveraging professional networks, using specialized online directories, and tapping into state licensing resources.

Here are the most effective methods, according to social work professionals and resources:

1. Specialized Online Supervision Directories

• Clinical Supervision Directory (ClinicalSupervisionDirectory.com) : A dedicated, searchable database that allows you to filter potential supervisors by state, specialty, and setting.
• Psychology Today : Allows for searching for qualified supervisors by zip code and filtering for "supervision services".
• Mojozy : Specialized in connecting mental health practitioners with clinical supervisors.
• Motivo Health : A platform for finding virtual clinical supervisors.

2. Professional Organizations and Directories

• NASW State Chapters : The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) state chapters frequently maintain directories of qualified supervisors.
• Clinical Social Work Society (e.g., CSCSW in California) : State-specific societies often have member-only supervisor lists.
• NASW-NC Clinical Supervisor Directory : Free for members who have passed the supervisor exam.

3. Networking and Local Outreach

• Colleagues and Peers : Ask trusted colleagues, former classmates, or field placement supervisors for recommendations.
• LinkedIn : Search for licensed practitioners in your area with "supervisor" in their profile.
• Facebook Groups : Local or state-specific social work Facebook groups are often used for recommendations, such as regional NASW or state-specific groups.
• University-Affiliated Clinics : Contact local MSW programs for lists of trusted clinicians who take on supervisors.

4. State Licensing Board Resources

• State Board Database : In many states, you can use your licensing board's search tool to find individuals holding an LCSW, which often reveals their contact information.
• Direct Inquiries : Call your state’s licensing board to request a list of approved supervisors if one isn't listed online.

5. In-Agency/Employer Supervision

• Request Internal Supervision : Before paying out-of-pocket, inquire if your employer (community mental health, hospital, etc.) provides qualified clinical supervision as part of your employment.

Top Tips for Selection

• Verify Requirements : Ensure the supervisor meets all state-specific licensure requirements (e.g., California requires BBS-approved supervisors; Delaware requires at least 3 years licensed).
• Interview Candidates : Ask about their therapeutic approach, experience with your client population, fee structure, and success rate in getting supervisees licensed.
• Consider Group Supervision : These sessions can be more cost-effective while still providing necessary supervision hours.

To help you narrow this down, are you looking for:

• Free (in-agency) or paid (private) supervision?
• In-person or remote?
• A specific specialty (e.g., trauma, children, LGBTQ+)?
