Clinical career supervision in independent practice: A counselor- and supervisor-learning system perspective

Abstract

An emerging counselor and an established counseling psychologist, in separate independent practices, collaborate in this Practice Application Brief on clinical career supervision. Three core elements from Systems Theory Framework (i.e. creating a learning environment, the content of learning, and reflection on learning) guide the anecdotal analysis of their conjoint clinical supervision experience. The counselor’s and supervisor’s respective career development impact and implications for other practitioners beyond the pre-professional counselor-in-training level are highlighted.
