The Service: Jack provides clinical supervision to Licensed Master Social Workers (LMSWs) who are licensed by the Texas State Board of Social Work Examiners (TSBSWE), and who are qualified to receive supervision in partial fulfillment of the state requirements for becoming a Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs). Jack's approach is client-centered and outcome-informed (CDOI) and focused on building upon your strengths as a social worker. Meetings are generally 1.5 hours long and scheduled to meet the guidelines of the TSBSWE.
Location: Negotiable based on yours and my schedules (see Fees)
Fees:
FREE assessment conversation to see if you want the type of supervision I provide, and to evaluate if we are a "good fit".
$75 per session: At my office (new rates as of January, 2015) or your office, depending on our schedules.
I have provided clinical supervision for Texas social workers since 1990, having been 'grandfathered' in as a Board-approved clinical supervisor by the Texas State Board of Social Work Examiner's. I recently participated in a 40-hour, board-approved, Art of Clinical Supervision course sponsored by the University of Texas at Austin in order to improve and update my skills.
When I work with social workers who are pursuing advanced licensure, I begin by meeting with the person to assess how my services and your desired outcomes are "a fit". During this initial meeting we discuss your wants and needs and my roach to supervision to ensure that we are both able to benefit from this contractual relationship.
The first meeting includes assessment information, a full explanation of my systemic and strengths-based approach to supervision, and your needs and desires as a prospective supervisee. From the results of this meeting (if we decide to meet together) you find out if your agency will support you receiving supervision from an outside consultant, and we create a supervision plan and each of us signs a contract specifying the parameters of the service.
Our usual meeting agenda includes a short catch up from the last meeting; the supervisee identifying their agenda for the meeting (at least one case review with self assessment and questions or concerns and feedback); a conversation topic; and some time related to items on the learning plan. Supervisees are invoiced and pay on a monthly basis. Supervision plans are reviewed and updated biannually.
