Clinical Supervision

Engaging and remaining consistent with quality clinical supervision is a crucial piece in the foundation of your clinical work. In supervision, Patrick Bryant, LCSW or Megan Bryant, LPC, CPCS, ATR-BC provide a safe space for you to explore yourself as a person and a clinician. The reality is that every therapist has their own lived experiences with biases, opinions, and even judgments. Supervision helps you own your story and do the necessary work in your life, in order to be fully present and attuned to your clients. Though there is ample space and invitation for staffing cases, learning both traditional and cutting edge modalities, and preparing for the clinical exam, the primary focus will be on aiding you in connecting with your most genuine and authentic self, in order to be truly present and effective with your clients. For those who are interested, Patrick also offers consultation for clinicians wanting to develop a successful private practice when independently licensed.
