FAQs About Supervision and Consultation

At our Parker, CO based therapy practice, clinical supervisors act as a consultant, teacher, mentor, coach, and assessor.  We are here to support you in working with clients.

Further, the purpose of introducing a third party to the client/therapist relationship is to reduce the risk to the client. This consideration for the client improves their therapy experience by ensuring they receive the highest quality services. 

First, our meetings will focus on reviewing your work with clients. Secondly, we will key in on your personal and professional development. For example, meetings will focus on skills where you want to grow. In addition, we will make connections to approaches and counseling theories.  Likewise, personal development will include processing biases and looking at the impact of providing therapy on your own wellbeing. 

Focus of supervision at RAFT: 

  • Protection of the client 
  • Best practice services to the client 
  • Increasing the value of clinicians’ work for clients 
  • Introducing interventions, strategies, and theories
  • Identifying and owning behaviors, thoughts, and feelings around work with clients
  • Processing those pieces and supporting healthy change
Confidentiality still remains 100% intact with clinical supervision and information may not be shared outside of the supervisor/supervisee relationship except under specific circumstances.
Expectations for confidentiality in supervision are the same as confidentiality for client sessions. Personal information is only shared when clients have consented to have that information shared. Clinical supervisors, their license information, and their contact information, should be included on the supervisee's disclosure and consent form. Information is shared with supervisors in order to support best care practices. Therapists are responsible for sharing with clients when confidentiality must be broken. These times include mandated reports to CPS or APS and times when safety must be prioritized. Confidentiality is waived if clients are expressing thoughts and plans to harm themselves or others. If clients are unable to care for themselves in a safe way, confidentiality must also be waived at times.
At RAFT Counseling, we prioritize confidentiality and want to maintain that privacy commitment to all clients. We strive to make room for direct conversations when confidentiality must be waived so that it is not a surprise.
