Supervision & Consultation

I remember the excitement and nerves that came with sitting with clients very early on in my career. It was a huge time of vulnerability and growth for me. I felt elated, terrified, in my element, out of my depths, hopeful, humbled, heartened, clumsy, curious, courageous, insecure, overwhelmed, and like a deer in the headlights. I also remember thinking, “If I survive this, I want to help other new therapists navigate this unique time too”.

I was also inspired to offer supervision and consultation services to early-career therapists because I’ve had the privilege of receiving supervision that has helped shape me into a more conscious and confident clinician, and I want to offer that to others.

I have been delighted to welcome budding therapists into my practice as therapy clients for a while now, and I just love working with big-hearted, creative people who value wellness in themselves and others. My intention in becoming a supervisor is to help those I work with become increasingly aligned and effective so they can show up for clients in practical and profound ways.

Our field holds lots of challenges and opportunities, and I am excited to partner with enthusiastic, motivated, and dedicated trainees, associates, and newly licensed therapists to provide high-quality support.

As a supervisor, consultant, and therapist, I draw from a variety of theoretical orientations and approaches to meet the specific needs of the person I’m sitting with. I am inspired by and weave in elements from:

• AEDP (Relational, Attachment, Strengths-based)

• Psychodynamic (Exploration of Consciousness)

• Hakomi (Mindfulness, Somatic)

• IFS (Parts Work, Imagery)

• RRP (Experiential, Working with the Inner Child)

• DBT (Skill-building for Change and Acceptance)
  

In supervision or consultation, we can explore many topics including:

• Transference and Countertransference

• Deliberate practice through roleplay

• The therapeutic stance

• Reviewing audio or video clips of sessions

I work well with people who:

• are excited and energetic about doing great work

• are professional, organized, and stay on top of their responsibilities

• have integrity

• are able to make good use of constructive feedback 

• embrace a growth mindset

• are seeing adult individual clients (if you are working with children, teens, couples, or families primarily, I am probably not the right supervisor for you at this time)

Please note: my practice is not currently set up to take on employees, but if you are working through an organization, I can provide individual clinical supervision as an independent contractor.

If you think we might work well together, please get in touch with me at jessica@fogcitycounseling.com.

I look forward to hearing from you.
