Texas LPC Associate Supervision
Becoming a licensed professional counselor is about more than completing supervised hours. It's about developing the clinical judgment, ethical foundation, and professional confidence to serve clients effectively throughout your career.
As a Texas LPC Supervisor, clinician, and graduate professor, I bring decades of clinical, educational, and leadership experience to the supervision relationship. My approach combines thoughtful case consultation, practical skill development, and conversations about the realities of building a sustainable career in counseling.
My Supervision Philosophy
Good supervision creates room for questions, honest reflection, and professional growth. My goal is to help associates move beyond knowing what they learned in graduate school to understanding how to apply that knowledge thoughtfully and responsibly in clinical practice.
Strong clinical skills develop through practice, consultation, and a willingness to examine how we make decisions.
We focus on assessment, case conceptualization, treatment planning, documentation, and therapeutic interventions that support meaningful client progress.
Ethical practice requires more than memorizing rules. It requires sound judgment, awareness of professional responsibilities, and the ability to recognize complex situations before they become larger problems.
We examine boundaries, confidentiality, professional standards, consultation, and ethical decision-making in everyday clinical work.
Your development as a counselor includes how you navigate the profession, communicate with colleagues, manage responsibilities, and plan for the future.
We discuss professional identity, career opportunities, workplace challenges, and the foundations of building a sustainable practice.
Beyond the Supervision Hour
I want associates to feel comfortable asking questions, acknowledging uncertainty, and receiving constructive feedback. Those conversations are an important part of becoming a competent, thoughtful clinician.
Supervision is both a learning relationship and a professional responsibility. I approach it with the expectation that we are preparing you to practice independently with skill, integrity, and confidence.
The Supervision Experience
Supervision is an opportunity to connect what you've learned academically with the decisions you make in clinical practice. Our work is structured to support your development while encouraging thoughtful reflection, accountability, and professional growth.
Dedicated time to discuss your clinical experiences, explore questions, receive individualized feedback, and identify areas for continued growth. Individual sessions allow us to focus on your specific needs and professional development.
Collaborative discussions with fellow LPC Associates provide opportunities to examine clinical perspectives, discuss professional challenges, and learn from shared experiences while maintaining client confidentiality and appropriate professional boundaries.
We examine assessment findings, treatment goals, therapeutic approaches, documentation, and ethical considerations. The focus is not simply on what happened during a session, but why you made particular clinical decisions and how to strengthen your judgment.
Associates have access to a private resource center with supervision information, clinical reference materials, training resources, ethics information, scheduling updates, and professional development opportunities.
A Shared Responsibility
I expect associates to arrive prepared, participate actively, maintain accurate documentation, and communicate openly about clinical questions and concerns. Professional growth requires both initiative and a willingness to receive feedback.
I also believe supervision should be a space where you can acknowledge what you don't know. Asking questions is part of responsible practice. The expectation is not perfection, but consistent learning, sound judgment, and accountability.
Experience & Qualifications
Effective supervision benefits from a broad understanding of clinical practice, education, organizational leadership, and the counseling profession. My experience across these areas informs how I support associates as they prepare for independent licensure and long-term professional growth.
Licensed as a Professional Counselor in Texas since 1998, I bring more than three decades of clinical experience working with individuals, couples, families, and diverse populations. This experience informs my approach to assessment, treatment planning, clinical decision-making, and professional responsibility.
As a graduate professor at Amberton University, I teach courses that support the academic and professional development of future counselors. My teaching experience strengthens the connection between counseling theory, research, clinical application, and professional practice.
As Director of the Mental Health & Wellness Clinic at Paul Quinn College, I work at the intersection of mental health, student development, institutional leadership, and service delivery. This perspective informs conversations about collaboration, systems of care, and the professional responsibilities of counselors.
As Founder and CEO of Positive Influences, established in 2001, I understand the operational and professional demands of developing counseling services. I bring that perspective into supervision discussions about career planning, practice management, professional boundaries, and sustainable growth.
My Perspective
The transition from graduate student to independent clinician comes with decisions that extend well beyond the therapy session. Associates need guidance in clinical judgment, professional relationships, documentation, ethics, and career direction.
My role is to help you connect those pieces so that your growth is intentional, your decisions are informed, and your professional foundation is strong.

Take the Next Step
Choosing a supervisor is an important decision. You deserve guidance that challenges you to think critically, supports your professional development, and prepares you for the responsibilities of independent clinical practice. If you're looking for a supervision experience grounded in clinical expertise, accountability, and growth, I invite you to connect.
Reach out through the Contact page and share a little about your current professional status, clinical setting, and supervision needs.
We'll explore your goals, supervision requirements, scheduling considerations, and whether the supervision relationship is a good fit.
If we agree to move forward, we'll review the supervision agreement, expectations, and the process for beginning our work.
Supervision availability is subject to current capacity and an initial discussion to determine fit. Submission of an inquiry does not establish a supervision relationship.
