Consultation and Supervision
What's The Difference Between Consultation vs. Supervision?
The differences between the two are a matter of legal liability and also relational. A clinical supervisor has some legally liability and responsibility for their supervisees. The supervisor is responsible for and must monitor the actions of those they supervise.
The consultant is a person who assisting other therapists clinically and/or ethically, however the therapist(s) would ultimately be responsible for their choices after the guidance they receive. The consultant is not legally liable for the actions of the consultee because the consultee would already be a licensed practitioner.

Supervision
I have been a clinical supervisor since 2002. I am a registered Supervisor with the Bureau of Occupational Licenses. For 10 years, I served as Clinical Director and Clinical Supervisor at a local Mental Health Clinic. In addition, I continue to supervise therapists through my private practice, helping clinicians work toward their LCPC, LMFT, and LCSW.
I love supervising and helping professionals develop clinically by exploring their gifts, talents, and passions. The goal of supervision is to help therapists develop their clinical skills, including proficiency with assessment and diagnostics, treatment planning, case conceptualization, and moving the client towards their goals
Extenders and Private Practice
I'm passionate about helping clinicians who want to move into private practice. Having built and run a mental health center for a decade and a private practice for over 26 years, I have a wealth of knowledge on setting up the business side of a clinical practice, as well as the clinical and ethical pieces of running a private practice.
I have helped many therapists open their practice and supervised their clinical hours along the way. You will receive both the clinical and business components, plus oversight in setting up your practice, while being supervised for your advanced clinical license. Currently, in Idaho, LMSWs cannot practice in "private practice" but can engage in "independent practice." I offer the ability to work as a contractor in independent practice through affiliation with me through Jones & Associates.
If your goal is to get your LCSW and set up your own private practice, this is a great opportunity to work towards that goal. You will receive all the important business and clinical oversight needed to establish your private practice. You will also be able to access many Health Insurance plans through my group, which gives you more access to helping more people with insurance through plans I am affiliated with.
Consultation
I provide EMDR Consultation for clinicians seeking help with challenging cases as well as EMDR Consultation for those therapists who are working towards EMDR Certification.
I also provide consultation for therapists who are seeking clinical or ethical guidance and support.
