Many therapists are trained to follow models.
Supervision here is about learning how to think.

At Rainbow Counseling, supervision is a space for therapists who want to deepen their clinical thinking, strengthen their voice as clinicians, and develop the steadiness required to work with complex relational and identity-based issues.

Graduate training often prepares therapists to be compassionate.

It does not always prepare them to navigate the realities of therapy:

sexuality and shame
power dynamics
countertransference
ethical gray areas
non-traditional relationships
clients whose identities and lives exist outside mainstream frameworks

Supervision with me focuses on helping clinicians build clinical clarity, differentiation, and confidence so they can think carefully in the therapy room - even when situations are complex or emotionally charged.

My supervision style is warm, direct, relational, and collaborative. I ask a lot of questions, and I help supervisees slow down enough to notice what is happening in the client, in the relationship, and inside themselves as therapists.

This is not supervision for memorizing interventions.

It is supervision for becoming a stronger clinician.

A Space Where Therapists Can Ask Real Questions

There are questions therapists often feel they cannot ask in graduate school or early supervision:

Am I missing something in this case?
Why does this client activate me so strongly?
How do I stay affirming without avoiding difficult conversations?
What do I do when the textbook answer doesn't match the clinical reality?

This is a supervision space where clinicians can ask the questions they were told not to ask in graduate school.

Affirming care matters.

But affirming is not the same thing as clinically rigorous.

Therapists deserve supervision that supports both.

Who I Particularly Enjoy Working With

Many therapists seek supervision because the populations they care about most are rarely discussed in depth during training.

I especially enjoy supervising clinicians working with:

LGBTQ+ clients
kink and BDSM dynamics
polyamory and consensual non-monogamy
sexuality and identity exploration
relationship conflict and differentiation
shame and desire
clients who work in sex work and erotic labor professions
clients navigating diverse relational structures, including polyamory and consensual non-monogamy
therapists serving marginalized communities
individuals working in entertainment and unscripted television environments

My practice is sex-positive and non-stigmatizing, and I have particular experience supporting clients who work in sex work and erotic labor professions, as well as therapists seeking guidance in providing ethical, affirming care to these communities. I also have experience supporting individuals working in highly visible environments, including those involved in reality and unscripted television productions.

I also work with clients navigating the psychological impact of public visibility, online scrutiny, and parasocial attention.

Many supervisees come to me because they want to support these populations thoughtfully - but were given little guidance beyond "be affirming."

In supervision, we explore the nuance that makes therapy actually effective. My practice is sex-positive and non-stigmatizing, and I have particular experience supporting clients who work in sex work and erotic labor professions, as well as therapists seeking guidance in providing ethical, affirming care to these communities.

For Pre-Licensed Therapists

The pre-licensure stage can be one of the most vulnerable periods of a therapist's career.

You are holding responsibility for real clients while still developing your professional identity.

You may be wondering:

Am I doing this right?
Am I missing something clinically important?
Why do certain clients activate me so strongly?
How do I work with relational or sexual complexity without freezing or overcompensating?

Supervision focuses on helping you:

develop strong case conceptualization
understand transference and countertransference
strengthen ethical decision-making
tolerate uncertainty while remaining grounded
develop your own clinical voice
think relationally rather than mechanically

You do not need to be perfect.

You need to be curious, reflective, and willing to grow.

Eligibility by State

I currently offer clinical supervision for therapists practicing in:

Louisiana
New York
Illinois

Supervision must occur in the state where the supervisee is practicing and must comply with that state's licensing board requirements

Please confirm eligibility with your licensing board prior to beginning supervision.

In Louisiana, supervision of Provisional Licensed Professional Counselors (PLPCs) requires the supervisor to hold the LPC-Supervisor (LPC-S) designation issued by the Louisiana LPC Board. Supervisors must hold an LPC license and have a minimum of three years of post-licensure counseling experience.

New York and Illinois do not require a separate supervisor credential; supervision is typically provided by a licensed clinician in an approved mental health profession under state board rules.

Because supervision is relational and collaborative, I begin with a brief consultation call to ensure the fit feels right for both of us.

For Licensed Therapists (Consultation)

Once therapists are licensed, the need often shifts.

What many clinicians want is not traditional supervision - but a place to think deeply about their work.

Consultation can support therapists navigating:

complex relational cases
poly or multi-partner relationship systems
countertransference and therapist activation
sexuality and identity dynamics
ethical dilemmas
burnout or over-responsibility in clinical work
developing a more grounded clinical voice

Consultation is less about "finding the right intervention" and more about strengthening your ability to think clearly when the work becomes complicated.

Many therapists reach out because they want:

a space where nuance is welcomed
supervision that is both affirming and intellectually honest
someone comfortable discussing sexuality, erotic labor, and relational complexity
support navigating challenging dynamics without shame

Fee

$180 per consultation session

My Clinical Framework

My supervision integrates several relational and trauma-informed frameworks:

relational psychotherapy
Bowen family systems and differentiation
Internal Family Systems / parts work
Nonviolent Communication
DBT-informed emotional regulation
trauma-informed practice
sex-positive and identity-affirming therapy

Supervision focuses on helping therapists remain grounded when:

shame emerges
power dynamics shift
sexual or relational complexity appears
their own emotional responses are activated

These moments often contain the most clinical information - if we learn how to stay present with them.

A Note for Therapists Considering Supervision

Many thoughtful therapists quietly worry that they are the only ones feeling unsure at times.

In reality, uncertainty is often a sign that a clinician is paying attention.

Good supervision is not about eliminating doubt.

It is about helping therapists develop the confidence to think clearly even when things are complicated.

If you are someone who takes your work seriously, reflects on your impact, and wants to grow as a clinician, supervision can become one of the most meaningful parts of your professional development.

Why Therapists Reach Out

Therapists often reach out when they realize:

They do not need someone to simply tell them what technique to use.

They need someone who can help them think clearly in the therapy room.

You might resonate with this space if you want supervision that:

respects complexity
supports marginalized communities
challenges avoidance
strengthens clinical confidence
deepens your understanding of relational dynamics

Supervision should not flatten your voice as a therapist.

It should help you find it.
