Clinical Supervision for
Colorado Social Workers in Private Practice

 

Transitioning to a private practice as a social worker is both an inspiring journey and a considerable professional undertaking, involving much more than simply achieving licensure. It represents a commitment to personal and professional growth, as you shape your identity as a committed clinician.

 

 

Paying for Supervision

Our clinical supervision program is designed not only to facilitate your journey towards licensure but also to lay a robust foundation for ethical practices and exceptional care that underpins your entire career. Priced at $170 (effective 2/1/24) per individual session, our service fees reflect a profound responsibility—ensuring we offer top-tier quality supervision that encompasses the liability and in-depth support work needed for supervising social workers on their path to establishing a successful independent practice.

Our supervision services support entrepreneurs starting their own businesses and social workers working as 1099/contract employees in other clinicians' practices. It's important to note that 1099s are legally classified as practicing independently and are responsible for their private practice supervision costs. Invest in our exceptional clinical supervision to enhance your professional credibility and ensure long-term practice success.

We understand the importance of comprehensive support. Our supervision includes thorough preparation, meticulous documentation review, and ongoing consultation. Our goal is to provide the guidance and expertise you need to thrive in your independent practice, while upholding professional standards.

Choosing our supervision services guarantees a solid foundation for your career and demonstrates your commitment to exceptional client care. With our dedication to your growth and success, you can navigate the complexities of independent practice confidently.

Important Disclaimers Before Scheduling your Consultation

Please note that Bethany carefully screens each potential supervisee to maintain the highest standard of clinical supervision. An initial consultation call does not guarantee a contractual agreement. Our fit and your readiness for private practice are key factors in this decision.

Adhering to the professional regulations of the Colorado Mental Health Practice Act is crucial. Practicing without a supervisor, even briefly, violates this act and can have serious legal and professional consequences. Setting up proper supervision before engaging in practice is essential.

Bethany transformed my supervision experience.
 Her groups were organized, incredibly valuable and I always felt supported. Bethany's commitment to and experience in the social work field was apparent and I appreciated her willingness to facilitate conversations that allowed us to dig deeper into our identities and the impact on the clients we serve. Her humor and candor made group and individual supervision fun and I really enjoyed the time with her.
