About This Group
Need to accrue supervision hours towards your Art Therapy Registration (ATR) or Pennsylvania Professional Counseling License (LPC)? Group size is capped at 6 participants. This supervision group meets for 90 minutes (1.5 hours) weekly on an ongoing basis, with rolling admission and “graduation” (termination). Participants may continue to attend the group beyond the acquisition of their desired credential, as long as they continue to find the group support beneficial. New participants may enroll whenever space is available. The content of the supervision group will be largely shaped and maintained by the participants. Best practice group supervision requires that all group members have the opportunity for a round-robin check-in regarding any urgent clinical issues; this should take around a half-hour or less. The remining time in the session provides opportunities for longer-form exploration of clinical issues by at least two participants. Topics commonly explored may include (but are certainly not limited to): case presentations about client processes and needs, case management, participants’ response art and countertransference, requested supervisor presentations on relevant topics/skills, professional identity and challenges, coworker dynamics/site issues, countertransference, ethics, social justice and DEI issues, and how to market and build a private practice, etc.
