Supervision Philosophy 

Supervision is a collaborative, creative, and relational process. I view it as a developmental journey where supervisees build clinical confidence, ethical awareness, and a deeper understanding of their therapeutic voice. 

My approach is: 

• Trauma-informed 

• Culturally responsive 

• Creatively integrative, blending Expressive Arts with Cognitive, Humanistic, Systems, Polyvagal, and Somatic frameworks. 

Supervision provides a space to explore vulnerability, process cases, integrate theory with practice, and develop reflective insight. 

Use of Expressive Arts in Supervision 

Expressive Arts are a core lens in my supervision practice—not limited to artmaking but inclusive of movement, music, writing, and mindfulness. Using the MSSS Model (Malchiodi, 2021): 

• Movement: bilateral movement, yoga, play, cultural expression 

• Sound: drumming, humming, instrument use 

• Storytelling: metaphor, creative writing, role play 

• Silence: meditation, witnessing, mindfulness practices 

These methods deepen insight, regulate the nervous system, and promote embodied learning. 

Supervision is offered in person, virtually or in hybrid format, and often includes expressive options such as journaling, metaphor, visual processing, or movement. 

Models of Supervision Used 

• Integrative Developmental Model (IDM): Emphasizes growth through stages—Beginner to Integrative Practitioner. 

• 7-Eyed Supervision Model: Addresses client dynamics, therapeutic relationships, and systems thinking to holistically explore the supervisee’s work. 

Expectations of Supervisees 

• Ethical Practice: Adhere to ACA Code of Ethics and Oklahoma licensure standards. 

• Developmentally Attuned Growth: Be open to feedback, case presentation, and evolving identity. 

• Reflective Practice: Maintain personal awareness and engage in honest self-evaluation. 

• Clinical Competence: Apply theory to real-world scenarios, documentation, and diagnosis. 

• Trauma-Informed & Culturally Responsive Care: Honor client and supervisee identities and experiences. 

• Professional Integrity: Accept feedback, demonstrate accountability, and engage in peer/group supervision. 

• Teachability & Flexibility: Explore beyond theoretical comfort zones and adapt to client needs. 

• Lifelong Learning: Stay current through continuing education and peer consultation. 

• Gatekeeping Responsibility: Acknowledge personal challenges impacting client care and participate in remediation as needed.
