Individual and Group Supervision for Texas Therapists
An Open Window Counseling offers both individual and group supervision for therapists in the state of Texas. Individual supervision provides therapists with one-on-one guidance and support in their clinical work, helping them to develop and improve their skills, navigate challenging cases, and address ethical dilemmas. This format allows the therapist to focus solely on their own professional development, and provides personalized attention and support.
Group supervision, on the other hand, allows therapists to work with a group of their peers, facilitated by a skilled supervisor. This format encourages collaboration and peer learning, as well as providing a sense of community and support for therapists. Group supervision is a cost-effective way for therapists to receive support and guidance while also benefiting from the experiences and perspectives of their peers.
