Course Description

Starting out as a new therapist can be vulnerable—and the quality of supervision can shape that journey in profound ways. In this presentation, we’ll explore what supportive, effective clinical supervision looks like from both sides of the relationship. Drawing on personal experience, this webinar reflects on what it’s like to navigate early clinical work while feeling unsure, imperfect, and eager to grow.

We’ll discuss how new therapists can seek out supervision that fosters confidence and reflection, and how supervisors can create the kind of space that helps clinicians step into their own voice. This is a conversation about real-world supervision—the kind that helps people stay in the work, not just survive it.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify key qualities of effective and supportive clinical supervision.
  • Understand common barriers new therapists face in supervision, including fear of vulnerability and imposter syndrome.
  • Explore strategies supervisors can use to foster professional growth, self-trust, and reflective practice in emerging clinicians.
