Supervision for mental health professionals
IMPACT offers a wide range of supervision options
Psychodynamic
Our supervisors have years of experience teaching psychodynamic psychotherapy to graduate students, early career professionals, psychiatry residents, and outpatient clinic staff members. We enjoy supervising individual clinicians in their work with adults and children. This includes discussing issues of case conceptualization, intervention techniques, understanding and managing countertransference reactions, and the use of contemporary and evidence-based psychodynamic approaches. Supervisees are encouraged to bring in process notes from individual sessions. We offer psychodynamic psychotherapy supervision for work with children, teens, and adults.
Integrative
Psychotherapy integration is what cutting edge psychotherapy is made of. Looking beyond the confines of individual theoretical approaches - which are often siloed and dogmatic - we seek to build on the strengths of each perspective and incorporate multiple treatment modalities to better serve our clients. Many mental health professionals were trained in single or a few, separate treatment approaches and have had few opportunities to think critically about how to integrate these schools of thought. Integrative supervision offers an opportunity to blend theory and practice from multiple perspectives - including psychodynamic, CBT, third wave, DBT, family systems, existential/humanistic, and play therapy - to develop a tailored, versatile approach to clinical work. We offer integrative psychotherapy supervision for work with children, teens, and adults.
Grow Your Practice
We offer guidance for practitioners at all career stages in building and growing a private practice. Our supervisors have experience with urban, suburban, and rural practice development tools. Supervision typically includes 4 appointments, offered remotely by video. Topics include: developing a niche market, website design, marketing materials, and use of web tools to promote your work (e.g. Google AdWords, Facebook, Twitter, blogging, etc.). We also discuss finding office space (sublet vs. leasing), joining insurance panels, intake paperwork, screening new patients, building a referral network, setting office policies, evaluating business insurance products, and office/space design.
Deliberate Practice Coaching
Deliberate Practice (DP) is arguably the most evidence-based method we know of to improve performance in an effective and reliable manner. The principles of DP systematically target an experiential and procedural type of learning that defines top performers. In fact, decades of research have demonstrated that lengthy engagement in DP is associated with expert performance across a variety of professions. What sets DP apart from other training methods is a rigorous sequence of ongoing performance assessment, tailored goal-setting, and systematic skill-building informed by expert feedback. We offer DP coaching for work with children and adults and a sequence that focuses on multicultural orientation.
Spiritually Integrative Psychotherapy
Supervision in this area is focused on meeting the needs of clients whose faith is a central component of their lives and worldview. Guidance in this area is informed by Dr. Tracy Prout’s training in spiritually integrative psychotherapy, extensive research in the psychology of religion, and her work with clients for whom religion and spirituality are central. Her perspective is clinical and respectful of client's diverse religious experiences. She has worked with clients from evangelical Christian, Catholic, Orthodox Jewish, Muslim and other backgrounds. Tracy is especially interested in attachment style as it pertains to the divine, how faith communities can help and/or hinder mental health, and how spiritual crisis can be a catalyst for change.
