Presence and Process. Field, Phenomenology, and Practice. Awareness in Action
Program Description: A Didactic and Experiential Intensive Training
Clinical supervision continues to be a vital specialty, but under-utilized niche in the counseling and psychology professions. Our training will not only enhance the work you do but create an additional opportunity to enliven your current earning potential. This intensive seminar is not a simply a lecture-based course, but an immersive training experience. Graduates of this program will learn more than techniques. They will develop a coherent supervisory stance—grounded, relationally attuned, ethically informed, and experientially alive. Through awareness in action, participants will refine their capacity to notice, identify, and work with emergent supervisory dynamics as they unfold.
