Meet Your Supervising Clinician

Carrie As A Supervisor

I specialize in trauma and LGBTQIA+ issues, and have worked in both outpatient and inpatient settings. I have been working in the mental health field for 7 years and decided to become a supervisor because I wanted to be able to help guide younger counselors. I find supervision to be a collaborative experience and work hard to meet my supervisees needs. I am also trained in brainspotting and am always trying to educate myself on new modalities or ways to approach therapy. I primarily come from a humanistic, psychodynamic and a person centered , but flow into other theories. I am emotion focused, and work with attachment theory, and parts in much of my counseling. I can help navigate the inpatient psych world, and the outpatient world having experience in both. I started our business with my co-owner so have experience starting and practice, navigating insurance, and many of the ins and outs of private practice. If you are interested in a consultation please reach out.

Our Supervision Style & Philosophy

Our supervision style is:

  • Practical and growth-oriented

  • Non-judgmental and relational

  • Collaborative rather than directive

We believe supervision should be a dialogue, not a lecture. While we honor the inherent power dynamic of supervision, we value your clinical insight, curiosity, and perspective. We approach cases holistically and encourage creative problem-solving that centers the client’s full experience.

Theoretical Foundations

Our supervision is informed by:

These frameworks guide how we conceptualize cases, understand relational dynamics, and support both client and clinician growth.

What Makes Supervision at Restore Balance Different

Supervisees often share that what sets our supervision apart is that we are:

  • Approachable and genuinely invested in your growth

  • Honest about how challenging this field can be

  • Supportive without being rigid or prescriptive

  • Willing to walk alongside you as you develop your own clinical voice

We aim to create a supervision space where you feel safe to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow into the therapist you want to become.

Common Topics in Supervision

Supervision sessions commonly focus on:

  • Case conceptualization

  • Documentation and progress notes

  • Ethical considerations

  • Diagnosis and evaluation

  • Countertransference and clinical boundaries

  • Burnout, sustainability, and self-care

  • Professional development and identity formation

How Supervision Is Structured

Supervision structure is individualized based on your licensure goals and needs. With proposed Georgia licensure rules, many supervisees will need to meet:

  • Weekly sessions

  • 50–60 minutes per session

  • Over a two-year period to meet licensure timelines

We’ll help you determine a structure that aligns with current requirements and your professional goals.

Preparing for Supervision Sessions

To get the most out of supervision, we ask supervisees to come prepared with:

  • Specific case questions

  • Situations or sessions from the week you want to reflect on

  • Areas where you’d like feedback, clarity, or growth

Curiosity and honesty are always welcome.

Documentation & Tracking Hours

We provide:

  • Supervision logs created by LPCA of Georgia

  • Guidance and recommendations for tracking hours effectively

  • Support to ensure documentation aligns with licensure requirements

Feedback & Growth in Supervision

We believe feedback is a vital part of both supervision and the therapeutic relationship. Feedback in supervision is:

  • Collaborative

  • Respectful

  • Modeled intentionally

We may use discussion, reflection, resources, or role-play to support learning and growth.

Additional Resources & Learning

We regularly recommend:

  • Books

  • Podcasts

  • Continuing education opportunities

And if we don’t already have a resource in mind, we’ll find one.
