If you’re looking to become a fully
licensed clinical social worker in the State of Florida, soon after receiving
your Master’s in Social Work, you’ll be faced with the task of choosing a
qualified supervisor to work under. Common career goals of a Licensed Clinical
Social Worker (LCSW) include opening your own private practice, working for a
non-profit, or a community mental health agency. In choosing your clinical
supervisor consider choosing someone whose experience will help foster and
develop personal growth for your career.
Your supervisor should be board
approved and have completed the Qualified Supervisor training which meets the
standards set forth by Florida law. Your supervisor for licensure should provide
the following, which I deem to be essential to the supervision process:
1. Provide
continuing education on evidenced based practice and application of therapeutic
tools to assist in professional development.
2. Offer
assistance in understanding the legal statutes and ethics associated with
practice.
3. Be
responsible for evaluating with the purpose of enhancing the future clinician's
ability to assess therapeutic needs, develop effective treatment strategies,
and properly document in the medical record.
4. Deliver
guidance and support throughout the process with an emphasis on learning to ask
for help.
You can become a skilled clinician. I
offer supervision using a variety of models. I seek to teach, support, guide,
and evaluate those who desire a career in the field of Clinical Social Work. I
offer supervision in an individual and group setting at affordable rates with
discounts for group supervision. Wishing you all the best in choosing your supervisor.
