Guidance for Real-World Challenges of Therapy

​

For New Clinicians — or Those Feeling Stuck

As a therapist, you may find yourself asking:

• How do I respond to high-risk situations? (suicidal clients, active psychosis, domestic violence, or crisis scenarios)

• How do I balance my work and personal life? How do I manage my own challenges while still showing up fully for my clients?

• What’s next for me? I feel stuck — unsure if I should stay in agency work, move toward private practice, or explore another path.

• In what ways am I unprepared? Many new clinicians discover gaps in training when it comes to real-world practice — from managing risk to navigating career decisions.

• The Therapist Mentorship Program is designed to help you address these questions head-on. Over six months, you’ll receive bi-weekly 1:1 mentorship and monthly group consultation, giving you practical strategies, confidence-building support, and career direction so you can move forward with clarity.

​

What You’ll Gain

• Case Consultation & Clinical Support – Practical strategies for when you feel stuck, including how to respond to high-risk or complex clients, anticipate risk, and strengthen your clinical decision-making.

• Career Direction & Growth – Guidance in choosing the path that fits you best — whether that’s private practice, agency leadership, or another clinical role. Topics include credentialing, liability insurance, forms, EHRs, and even group contracting with commercial insurance if that’s your direction.

• Resilience & Professional Balance – Tools to manage stress, prevent burnout, and integrate personal well-being with professional demands.

• Supportive Community – A safe, respectful environment where you feel heard and valued. Gain the reassurance of having a mentor and peers who understand the challenges of the work, so you don’t have to navigate them alone.​

 

Structure

• Bi-Weekly 1:1 Sessions – Individual mentorship every two weeks (60 minutes, held on Zoom with an option for in-person when available).

• Monthly Group Consultation – A small, supportive group setting (90 minutes, case-based discussion and peer learning).

How This Differs From Clinical Supervision

While both supervision and mentorship are valuable, they serve different purposes in a therapist’s professional journey.

Clinical Supervision

• A formal requirement for licensure

• Focuses on meeting state board standards and clinical competencies

• Primarily evaluates performance and documentation for compliance

• Supervisor holds legal and ethical responsibility for your work

​

Mentorship (What This Program Offers)

• Not tied to licensure requirements, open to newly licensed or already practicing therapists

• A safe, supportive space to ask questions you may not feel comfortable bringing to supervision or management

• Focuses on career development, confidence building, and real-world problem-solving (e.g., high-risk clients, private practice setup, work–life balance)

• Provides case consultation and guidance without the evaluative pressure of supervision

• Empowers you to feel more secure, respected, and prepared as a clinician

In short: Supervision is about meeting requirements. Mentorship is about growth, support, and confidence. **This program complements but does not replace supervision.**
