Clinical supervision

Find a supervisor whose license can qualify you.

A directory tells you who supervises. It does not tell you whether that person's credential counts for your board, your pathway and your state. That is the question worth answering before the first session, not after three months of them.

Clinical supervision, in one paragraph

Clinical supervision is the arrangement in which a licensed clinician oversees the practice of somebody working toward independent licensure, meets with them regularly, and signs for the hours a licensing board will later count. Each board decides for itself who may supervise and which hours it accepts.

Searching

What you can filter by, and why each one matters.

State
A supervisor's license is granted by one state's board. The state you are being licensed in is the first thing that decides whether their signature will count.
Profession and pathway
Social work, counseling, marriage and family therapy and psychology are licensed separately, and so are the steps within each. You search for the step you are on.
Specialty and approach
The populations and the clinical models a supervisor works with, as they describe them on their own profile.
Format
Individual, triadic or group supervision, and whether by video, by phone or in person.
Rate
What the supervisor charges. That fee is between the two of you. TripleRoute takes no share of it.

From search to a first session

Four things happen, in this order.

  1. You search and compare

    Read full profiles and put up to four side by side. Each profile says which states the supervisor can supervise into.

  2. You send a request

    The supervisor accepts or declines. A supervisor who is at capacity says so on the profile, so you know before you ask.

  3. You both sign an agreement

    Format, frequency, rate, state and pathway are written down once and signed by both of you, so what was agreed is a document and not a memory of a conversation.

  4. Hours begin to be recorded

    From then on each of you sees the same record, and the supervisor signs for it at the end of each period.

Being straight about it

What a listing means, and what it does not.

What we check

  • That the supervisor holds the license they say they hold, read by a person before the profile appears
  • That the license has not expired, with the supervisor told before it does
  • Which states the supervisor says they can supervise into

What only your board decides

  • Whether this supervisor's credential satisfies its rules for your pathway
  • Whether the hours they sign will be counted
  • Anything about your own eligibility

TripleRoute is not a licensing authority and does not employ the supervisors listed on it. A supervisor is an independent professional, and the arrangement you make with one is between the two of you.

Questions people ask before they search

Do I have to pay to find a supervisor?

No. Searching, reading full profiles, comparing supervisors and sending requests are free, with no time limit and no card. A supervisee never pays TripleRoute anything.

I already have a supervisor. Do I have to find a new one here?

No. You can invite the supervisor you already work with. The invitation is tied to the address you send it to, so it cannot be redirected to another account.

How do I know a supervisor's license is real?

A reviewer checks each supervisor's license before the profile becomes visible, and the supervisor is alerted before it expires. What that check cannot tell you is whether your board accepts that credential for your pathway, which is your board's decision.

Can I have two supervisors at once?

One at a time. If you change supervisor, the record you built with the first is sealed and kept, and the new one starts from zero.
