lcsw supervision

 

I provide supervision for those who are looking to obtain their license in clinical social work (LCSW).   Getting clinical supervision is such an important aspect in growing as a clinician in the mental health field.  It is something I enjoy doing and I know that it can be very difficult to find supervision at a reasonable cost.  I completed my LCSW supervision training through NASW-IL and have had my LCSW since 2003.  Supervision is based on individual needs but usually consists of case consultation, discussion of clinical topics and/or sharing of resources.

While working with me, clinicians can gain

  • new ways of looking at complex cases
  • how to deal with ethical issues or dilemmas
  • a better understanding of how to navigate the system in which you work in and how to best help your clients
  • identify transference or countertransference issues
  • how to create a work/life balance as well as establish good self-care routines.

Requirements

According to the NASW-IL you must meet the following;

  • It can paid or unpaid work, part-time or full-time but must be direct practice.
  • BSW’s are not eligible.
  • MSWs must work for 3,000 hours under the supervision of an LCSW
  • PhDs/DSWs must work for 2,000 hours under supervision of an LCSW
  • You may meet individually or in group with no more than 5 people.
  • You must meet 4 hours during the month.

The exception to this is the LCSW Alternative to the ASWB exam for licensure.

If you hold an MSW, work in Illinois, have received 3000 hours of supervision, took the ASWB and did not pass, you may be eligible for the LCSW Alternative for licensure. This requires an additional 3000 supervised hours and please consult here for more information.

Group supervision cost:

$35 hr/ $70 per 2 hr session. 

The LCSW supervision group for school social workers will be starting in September 2024 through June of 2025.

If you practice in Illinois, and would like to participate in the group, please feel free to contact me at the info below.

I am not currently offering individual supervision or consultation at this time.
