The  GEORGIA Supervision Lab

Clinical supervision for trauma-focused clinicians serving marginalized communities — who refuse to build their careers on burnout culture.

For Georgia LMSWs and APCs who want depth, clarity, and sustainability.

You don't just need hours.

You need a foundation.

Most newer clinicians are told: “Just get your supervision hours. You’ll figure the rest out later.”

Later often looks like:
• 30+ clients a week
• Productivity quotas that leave no room for depth
• Documentation that eats up your evenings
• Burnout normalized as "just part of the field"
• Quietly wondering if you chose the wrong career

No one says this out loud while you’re collecting hours.

But supervision shapes everything.

The habits you build now.
The clinical lens you develop now.
The boundaries you learn now.

They determine whether you build a career you love — or one you recover from.

This is not fill-in-the-blank supervision.

You’re Doing Hard Work.

And You Don’t Want to Get It Wrong.

If you’re working with complex trauma, you already know:

Grad school gave you theory.
It did not give you depth.

You’re sitting with clients who are:

  • Miserable in their relationships
  • Stuck in survival mode
  • Dissociating through their lives
  • Cycling through the same painful patterns
  • Desperate for relief

This is not surface-level anxiety.

This is attachment wounds.
Nervous systems shaped by long-term stress.
Layered trauma.
Identity-based harm.

And when you’re early in your career, it can feel like:

“I want to help… but do I actually know enough to treat this well?”

You don’t want to harm.
You don’t want to overpromise.
You don’t want to default to generic coping skills when the work needs to go deeper.

You want to feel confident that what you’re offering is clinically sound.

That’s not insecurity.

That’s integrity.

We Know the System From the Inside.

We’ve climbed the ladder in this field.
Executive roles. Leadership titles. Productivity models. Insurance systems. Private practice.

From the outside, it can look successful.
From the inside, it can be exhausting.

We’ve carried high caseloads, balanced documentation and expectations, and felt the pressure to keep everything together… even when it wasn’t sustainable.

We’ve seen what happens when burnout gets normalized… and when clinicians are expected to push through it.

We also know what it looks like to build something different.
A practice rooted in autonomy, depth, and sustainability.

That experience shapes how we supervise.

We don’t believe burnout is a rite of passage.
We don’t believe helpers have to martyr themselves.
We don’t believe sustainability is selfish.

We believe you can do deep trauma work with integrity… and build a career that doesn’t drain your entire life.

What this Lab Is

Georgia Supervision Lab is not passive hour-collecting.
It’s an active space to build depth, confidence, and sustainability.

deep trauma conceptualization

Move beyond symptom management. We strengthen your ability to conceptualize complex trauma at the level of attachment, nervous system patterns, and long-term relational dynamics. You’ll think more clearly about your cases.

clincial confidence

Confidence isn’t granted by licensure. It grows when you understand what you’re doing and why. We sharpen your clinical decision-making so you’re not constantly second-guessing yourself.

Georgia rules clarity

You don’t have to guess your way through board requirements. We make Georgia’s supervision rules and independent practice pathway clear, structured, and manageable.

sustainable career strategy

Burnout prevention starts early. We talk caseloads, compensation, boundaries, and long-term trajectory — so you build a career you can sustain.

values-driven practice

Social work values aren’t decorative. We center justice, dignity, integrity, and competent care — especially when serving LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent clients.

engaged, thoughtful community

In group supervision, you don’t just get my feedback. You get collaborative clinical thinking in a space where engagement is expected and depth is supported.

Is this for you?

Who this is for

This supervision space is a good fit for clinicians who:

  • Want to become really good therapists, not just collect hours
  • Are open to feedback and willing to reflect on their work
  • Are interested in trauma work, EMDR, attachment, or depth-oriented therapy
  • Want to build a career that is sustainable long term
  • Are responsible, communicative, and generally act like a professional adult
  • Are looking for mentorship and guidance, not just paperwork signatures

 

Who this is not for

This is probably not a good fit if you:

  • Mainly want someone to sign forms and stay out of your way
  • Are looking for the cheapest or fastest supervision you can find
  • Are not very open to feedback or self-reflection
  • Frequently miss meetings, run late, or struggle with basic professional responsibilities
  • Want supervision to tell you exactly what to do in every situation
  • Are not very interested in growing clinically or thinking deeply about your work

 

If you’ve been thinking,
“I just want to understand this better,” 
you’re in the right place.

Supervision Lab Pricing

Supervision is offered as an ongoing monthly professional relationship rather than per-session scheduling. Monthly supervision reserves your place in supervision and ensures you are practicing under supervision for that month.

group supervision $150/m

Biweekly group supervision provides case consultation, clinical discussion, skill development, and learning from other clinicians’ cases and perspectives. Groups are limited to six supervisees and are a great fit for clinicians who benefit from collaborative learning and regular clinical support.

individual supervision from $150/m

Monthly supervision commitment based on the number of hourrs of supervision a month (@ $150/hour). Individual supervision focuses on your clinical work, case conceptualization, professional development, and licensure supervision hours. This option is a good fit for clinicians who want more individualized support or whose schedules require flexible supervision times.

group + individual $250/m

This option combines the benefits of biweekly group supervision with one individual supervision hour a month. Group provides shared learning and case discussion, while individual supervision allows for deeper clinical work, professional development, and focused support on your specific cases. This is often a good fit for clinicians who want both community and individualized guidance.

Meet Your Supervisors

You’ll be matched with the supervisor aligned with your licensure path, while still benefiting from a shared clinical framework and approach.

This means you’re not just getting individual guidance… you’re stepping into a way of thinking about the work that is consistent, intentional, and built to support both depth and sustainability.

 Five years from now... 

Five years from now, you’ll be independently licensed.

Right now, you’re focused on getting there.
That makes sense.

But what you’re actually building is the foundation for your entire career.

The supervision you choose will shape how you think, how you work, your confidence, your boundaries… and whether this career feels sustainable long term.

This is about more than hours.
This is about the kind of therapist you become.

If that’s how you’re thinking about supervision…
