What can I expect from clinical supervision?

• • A dedicated, experienced clinical supervisor who will help you identify supervision goals, pursue licensure, encourage your autonomy while holding you accountable, help prevent burnout, and promote your professional growth.
  • Our clinical supervisors are reliable and show up on-time for supervision appointments and groups, with no in-session distractions.

How are clinical consultation groups at Firelight Supervision different than peer-led consultation groups?

• • We love peer-led clinical consultation groups. But sometimes, you just want an experienced facilitator to help keep the group on track, have time for your own case review, and to take care of the scheduling. Or you want to see the same people, every month, in your group instead of revolving clinicians. This is what makes Firelight Supervision clinical consultation groups different:
    • Led by an experienced clinical supervisor
    • Same therapists each month in your group, so you can develop deeper connections
    • Focused on relationships and burnout prevention

Can I do supervision/consultation in-person? Can I do it online?

• • While we primarily offer online supervision and consultation, if you are located in Colorado we are happy to do in-person sessions with you in our Denver-based office. All of our supervision and consultation groups are currently online, but upon request from the entire group we can offer in-person groups at our office location in Colorado.

How often do I need to do supervision or consultation?

• • It depends on your situation and state board rules. Usually, if you’re getting licensure supervision, the frequency of your meetings depends on your caseload or work load. If you are doing less than 20 hours per week of work, we suggest you prorate your individual and group supervision hours to match the number of hours you are working. If you’re working full-time and hoping to count most or all of your hours towards licensure, you would need weekly supervision, a combination of group and individual depending on your license type.
  • For clinical consultation for fully-licensed therapists, it’s up to you how often you’d like to do consultation. It can range from weekly to monthly, with either or a combination of individual and group consultation.

How many group supervision hours can I get?

• • If you are an LSW in Colorado, you can count up to 48 of your 96 supervision hours from group supervision. This usually equals out to about 2 groups per month for 2 years.
  • If you’re an LPCC or Unregistered Psychotherapist in Colorado, you can count up to 30 of your 100 supervision hours from group supervision. This equals out to about 1 group supervision per month for 2 years with an additional 6 group sessions.
  • If you are an LPCA in Texas, 2 of your 4 hours of supervision per month can be group supervision (50%).
  • If you are an LMSW in Texas, you can count any number of group supervisions towards your 100 supervision hours.
  • If you are an LMHCA in Washington, you can count groups with 2 members towards your immediate supervision hours, or you can count group supervisions with more than 2 members towards your non-direct client supervised hours.
