My supervision integrates:

I have learned from my mentors that a great provisional psychologist develops deep professional wisdom. This wisdom concerns creating positive emotions through supervision, reflection, and contemplationAs your supervisor, we’ll focus on heightening your professional competence and confidence in growing your therapeutic approach.

Supervision Structure

  • frequency (weekly/biweekly)
  • format (individual/virtual/in-person)
  • structure of sessions (you will present one or more of your current cases for discussion)

“Before opening Anton Counseling & Health Psychology, I functioned as a counselor for many years, learning behavioral approaches. As a university student, I embraced both existential and client-centered approaches. I emersed myself in pain management for several years during my time as a provisional psychologist. And in 2003, my practice began with training and a particular interest in leadership coaching.

Therapy is about Iterations, not fixing

This Supervision is a Strong Fit If You:

  • Value curiosity, reflection, and intellectual rigor
  • Feel uncertain in complex clinical moments
  • Want to sharpen your clinical judgment (not just techniques)
  • Overthink sessions after the fact
  • Want depth—not just checklist supervision

Not a fit:

  • those wanting purely checklist-based supervision
  • minimal engagement / passive learning

Supervision Specifics

  • number/type of supervisees – 12 males and female therapists
  • familiarity with regulatory requirements (Alberta College)
  • supervision training/framework – contextual model

My Supervision Process Structure

“Supervision focuses on helping you think clearly in complex clinical situations—not just apply techniques.”

1. Clinical Judgment Over Protocol

  • When to follow structure vs depart from it

2. Thinking, Not Just Doing

  • What’s happening in the room?
  • What are you perceiving vs assuming?

3. Emotional & Cognitive Integration

  • Your reactions are data, not problems

4. Precision in Language & Formulation

  • How you describe a client shapes how you treat them
