Clinical Supervision

for mental health providers pursuing independent licensure in Minnesota

Melissa is a board approved supervisor by the Minnesota Boards of Marriage and Family Therapy & Behavioral Health and Therapy to provide supervision for providers seeking licensure as an LMFT, LPC, or LPCC.

I view my role as a supervisor as someone who is a:

  • Guide in learning

  • Partner in accountability

  • Safe space to fall and be vulnerable

  • Place of containment and predictability

  • Director to resources

  • Promoter of cultural humility

  • Cheerleader providing encouragement

All supervision spaces are overtly welcoming to and affirming of folks from all backgrounds, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA2+, and neurodivergent folks. Case consultations include considerations of culture and systemic impacts on clients and providers.

I intend to support and encourage my supervisees to think critically and independently with a solid foundation of clinical knowledge from which to draw and a strong intuition upon which they can rely when sitting with clients. My personal experience with receiving supervision outside of my workplace was incredibly valuable and I hope to provide this same opportunity & high value supervision to all supervisees.
