Group Supervision for
Social Work Candidates & Licensed Social Workers
Structured, ongoing virtual supervision designed for pre-licensed social workers seeking depth, accountability, and meaningful professional growth.
This is not a drop-in consultation group. It is an ongoing supervision space with package-based enrollment, clear expectations, and consistent facilitation.
All prospective members schedule a consultation call before enrollment to assess fit and readiness for the group structure.
Agencies may also enroll pre-licensed team members in this structured external supervision program.

Before Enrollment
All prospective members complete a consultation call.
This ensures the group is the right fit and that participants understand the structure, expectations, and focus of the supervision space.
This group explicitly acknowledges:
- Institutional racism
- Structural oppression
- The role of white supremacy within social work systems
Participants must be willing to engage in reflective dialogue about power, identity, and systemic context as part of professional development.
This is a supervision space grounded in equity, accountability, and clinical integrity.
Attendance and Commitment
Enrollment is for a full eight-session cycle.
There are no make-up sessions for missed meetings.
Supervision is a professional commitment. Participants are expected to protect this time, including from workplace interruptions.
Missed sessions are counted as missed unless there is a documented medical emergency.
Consistency is part of the container.
What We Focus On
This group supports practice across all levels of social work.
Micro practice
Clinical assessment, treatment planning, documentation, and client engagement
Mezzo practice
Team dynamics, interdisciplinary collaboration, supervision relationships, and program work
Macro practice
Systems thinking, policy impact, structural barriers, and institutional context
Supervision conversations regularly address:
Ethics and professional responsibility
Power, identity, and cultural context
Burnout and sustainability
Clinical reasoning and decision-making confidence
Leadership development in early career stages
This is supervision grounded in the full scope of social work practice.
Supervision in this group is informed by structured reflective tools, including the 196 Reflective Questions for Clinical Supervision resource developed through the Center for Ethical Social Work Practice.
How the Structure Works
Members commit to full eight-session cycles.
While enrollment is open, the commitment model creates continuity, accountability, and trust. Stable membership over time allows conversations to deepen beyond surface-level updates.
The group remains dynamic, but not casual.

Practitioners working in agency, nonprofit, healthcare, school, or government settings
Social workers who want structured, reflective dialogue beyond compliance
Early-career professionals building confidence across micro, mezzo, and macro practice

Hear What Past Supervisees Have to Say About Our Supervision
Mackenzie Shenk, MSW, LCSW
I was fortunate to receive supervision from Bethany while pursuing my license as a clinical social worker. Not only is she extremely experienced and knowledgeable in the field of social work, I could tell she wanted all of her supervisees to succeed and continue contributing to the social work profession. She is dedicated to her clients, other social workers, social justice, and the field of social work in general. Even after finishing my supervision requirements, she has continued to stay supportive, encouraging, and interested in the trajectory of my career.
M.R., MSW, LCSW
Bethany has been instrumental in my growth as a social worker. I appreciate her anti racist, inclusive and strengths based perspective, as we discuss my clients. She has helped me curate my career goals, working to help me identify my mission statement and distinguish between my personal and professional values. Bethany enters supervisions with compassion, deep interest and emotional availability, working to meet me where I am on tough or complex cases. As someone on the cusp of her LCSW, I feel fortunate to have had Bethany as my supervisor. Together, we have worked collaboratively to find a social work identity that best serves my needs and the clients.Â
