Supervision & Consultation
For therapists, recovery coaches, interventionists, and recovery services
Good work with people in addiction and recovery is too important — and too demanding — to do alone. I offer supervision and consultation to professionals who want an experienced colleague to think with: someone who knows this field from the inside, and who will be honest with you about your cases, your practice, and your own development.
What is supervision?
Supervision is a regular, structured working relationship between an experienced clinician and a professional who wants support and oversight in their work. It is where you bring your difficult cases, your ethical questions, and the moments that stay with you after the session ends.
Together we look at:
- Your cases — assessment, treatment planning, and the moments where you feel stuck
- Ethics and boundaries — confidentiality, dual relationships, and the grey areas this work is full of
- Difficult situations — crises, relapses, and risk, thought through calmly before they become emergencies
- Your documentation — notes and treatment plans that hold up and protect your clients and you
- Yourself in the work — transference and countertransference, and protecting your own recovery and wellbeing, so you don’t burn out doing work you love
Supervision protects your clients, because the quality of their care is reviewed. It protects you, because you are never carrying a hard decision alone. And it makes you better at the work — that is the point.
Supervision for recovery coaches and peer advocates
Peer work is powerful precisely because it is not therapy — and holding that line is a skill. If you are a recovery coach or peer advocate (including CRPAs and CARCs working toward or holding certification in New York), my supervision focuses on your role: where your role begins and ends, how and when to share your own story, how to advocate for the people you support, connect them to resources, and handle documentation — while keeping your own recovery safe and strong.
Consultation for therapists in private practice
If you are an experienced, independent therapist, what you may need is not formal supervision but a trusted colleague: case consultation on complex substance use cases, ethical dilemmas, family work, and interventions — a safety net against working in isolation.
For treatment and recovery services
I also consult for services and programs: case consultation for teams, staff training, and building supervision structures that support good clinical work.
How it works
- Individual supervision, one-to-one — or small group supervision
- In person or online — whatever works for you.
- Regular meetings, weekly to monthly, arranged around your work
- If you are working toward a credential or certification, we structure the work so it supports your requirements
