Why I Built This Practice

I was lucky and I know not everyone can say that.

When I was coming up as a new counselor, I had supervisors who were genuinely good at it. They didn't push me toward a niche or hand me a formula. They slowed down with me. They encouraged my curiosity. They helped me find my place inside this work, the particular kind of counselor I was becoming, instead of trying to make me into a version of themselves.

That experience shaped everything about how I supervise today.

Because I've also seen the other side. I spent years working in settings where the need on the client side was overwhelming and the support available to clinicians was almost nonexistent. You're holding a full caseload, navigating crisis, trying to build clinical confidence and doing it largely alone. That's not sustainable. And for a lot of LLPCs, it's the reality.

I believe this work requires community. It requires places where you can be genuinely vulnerable about where you're struggling, not just presenting your best clinical thinking, but saying I don't know what I'm doing here and having someone meet you there with honesty and care, not judgment.

That's what great supervision gave me. And that's what I've built this practice to give you.

What Supervision With Elizabeth Looks Like

Sessions are held virtually via secure video, weekly or biweekly depending on your schedule and needs. Every session is trauma-informed and developmentally grounded, meaning I meet you where you actually are, not where a supervision checklist says you should be. You'll bring your cases, your questions, and your doubts. I'll bring structure, clinical depth, and a genuine investment in your growth.

My Style:

I don't just ask what happened in the session. I ask:

  • What did this bring up in you?

  • What patterns are you noticing in your clinical identity?

  • Where are you growing — and where are you over-functioning?

  • What does this case tell you about how you show up in the room?

These questions matter because licensure is the minimum bar. Becoming a confident, sustainable clinician is the actual goal.

In our work together, you'll develop:

  • Stronger clinical judgment — the ability to sit with complexity and make sound decisions under pressure

  • Emotional resilience — tools to carry difficult client material without losing yourself in it

  • A clear therapeutic voice — confidence in your own approach rather than always second-guessing

  • Professional presence — how you show up, communicate, and hold yourself in clinical and professional spaces

  • Ethical confidence — the ability to navigate gray areas with clarity and integrity

  • Insight into sustainability — how to do this work for decades, not just until burnout forces a break

Supervision goes beyond case consultation:

We'll talk about your caseload — and also about boundaries, imposter syndrome, compassion fatigue, career direction, and what kind of clinician you want to become. Whether you're headed toward private practice, community mental health, leadership, or something you haven't figured out yet, our work together will help you build the foundation that makes all of it possible.

Who I Work Best With

My supervision practice is built specifically for Michigan LLPCs who are serious about their development, not just completing hours. I work best with:

New graduates who just received their LLPC and want to start their supervision hours with a strong, structured foundation rather than figuring it out alone.

Mid-journey LLPCs who feel stuck, under-supervised, or like they're logging hours without real growth and want something more intentional.

LLPCs in private practice or building toward it who need a supervisor who understands the business and clinical realities of running your own practice.

If you're not sure where you fall, the free consultation exists exactly for that conversation.
