Supervision

Why is supervision important?

As professionals working with all people, Tina and Gina are constantly in the process of learning and unlearning.  They cannot and do not hold the same lived experience as all of their clients and definitely don’t claim to know it all.  As a result they work to ensure that they are providing the best possible care that is client centered and empowering.  They believe that getting together with like-minded individuals can provide the processing space needed to create a better environment for all clients. They each continue to seek supervision with individuals with diverse backgrounds to better their own knowledge and understanding within this work. 

Supervision is standard for most therapy licensures. Dietitians are behind on understanding and integrating supervision into our regular practices. As dietitians working with eating disorders, Tina and Gina were exposed to supervision early through therapists at higher levels of care work and have continued to utilize supervision in their own practices. 

Though supervision is not standardized, Tina and Gina have experienced that supervision can support growth of the clinician, support clinicians in improving their clinical practice and client outcomes, support business development like billing and insurance, increase client retention, spark joy and creativity, foster connection, reduce burnout and increase sustainability of working in the mental health field.

What should you expect in supervision?

Supervision groups have a standard structure including a check in time, supervision time and check out time. 

During supervision time assigned presenters will share on a theme or case of their choosing, feedback is provided by Tina and Gina as well as other group members. 

Open groups are offered to allow for collaborative discussion on recurrent themes and cases.

The feedback that is provided is only provided with permission, comes from a compassionate lens and is used to empower individuals in their own work. 

What supervision is not?

Supervision is not therapy - Tina and Gina highly encourage dietitians working in counseling to pursue their own therapeutic support.

Supervision is not a time for clinicians with more experience to judge or criticize your work or tell you what to do. Dietitians often think of supervision through the lens of having a preceptor in dietetic internship or a supervisor at a job, both of these relationships are very different from the type of support that is offered in our supervision.
