Counselor Supervision with Lissa Carter, LCMHCS

Finding the right supervisor for you is an art. Ideally, your supervisor will celebrate your strengths, offer skills to enhance your training, and hold your feet to the fire when necessary. Your supervisor will share the wisdom they have gathered from their years in the field, but will not stand in the way of the development of your unique identity as a counselor.

 

In my years as a counselor, I have experienced great supervision, terrible supervision, and life-changing supervision.

These experiences have led me to take supervision very, very seriously. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Expressive Arts theory to balance skills training, oversight, and respectful attention to the development of your individual style of therapy. As a therapist my approach involves depth psychology, transpersonal psychology, RLT, narrative therapy, and IFS, and I may draw from these approaches to inform our work together. I believe in lifelong learning and feedback, so I have a supervision supervisor (say that three times fast!) who oversees my work.

As counselors, we carry a vital responsibility to our clients’ wellbeing, and we must honor that with ongoing training, evaluation, and continuous harrowing and honing. I will ask you to provide tapes of your work so that we can dig into the real live moment-to-moment decisions that build our integrity and wisdom as clinicians.

I offer only in-person supervision. My office is located close to downtown Asheville on East Chestnut Street, between Merrimon and Charlotte.

I strive to serve as a mentor as well as a supervisor, so I work hard to discern rightness of fit. If you are interested in supervision, please fill out the form below to start the process and I will be in touch as soon as possible.
