LPC-Associate Supervision

Selecting a supervisor is one of the most important decisions you will make while on your path to becoming a professional counselor. I would encourage you to do your due diligence in making sure your potential supervisor has the experience and qualities needed to guide you along what can be a very confusing and overwhelming journey.

The supervisor/Associate relationship is a collaborative one in which both parties have to believe it is beneficial to move forward. When considering working with a LPC-Associate, I consider the theoretical background, previous practicum experience, education, and professional goals of the Associate.

Why choose me?

  • I am certified in Trauma Model Therapy.
  • I was well trained by the internationally renowned Psychiatrist Dr. Colin Ross while working on his adult in-patient unit in Dallas, Texas.
  • My experience working on the in-patient trauma unit provided me extensive knowledge when dealing with PTSD, depression, anxiety, dissociative disorders, and suicidal ideation.
  • You will not only have access to me but my entire team. I have a close relationship with my former associates. Many of my former associates have their own thriving private practices. Our relationship has transformed from supervisor/associate to supportive friends and colleagues.
  • My theoretical orientation is based in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I definitely have an eclectic approach however, most of my techniques are rooted in CBT.
  • 24/7 access for ethical dilemmas that need immediate attention

Fee

  • The State of Texas requires supervision 4 hours a month during the minimum of 18 months and 3,000 hours needed to obtain licensure. LPC-Associates are allowed to have 2 supervisors.
  • Half of monthly supervision can be obtained through group supervision. I do expect you to attend group supervision. I have two times available, Monday at 6pm or Wednesday at 11am.
  • I charge a flat monthly fee

I had the pleasure of working with Kenyatta while I was an LPC Associate. She is extremely knowledgeable about therapeutic modalities. Kenyatta is very skilled at translating theory into practice with clients and demonstrating how to apply those theories to clients in session. The supervision experience was educational, engaging, and rewarding. I highly recommend Kenyatta Black as an LPC Supervisor.

I am so thankful for the experience of working with Kenyetta. The knowledge, wisdom, and support I gained was exceptional. Kenyetta takes her time with each student and helps build them up as a clinician. I learned so much during the experience that I will carry in my heart forever. I highly recommend supervision with Kenyetta Black Counseling because you will gain therapeutic information and skills on leadership skills, growing yourself, and intricate details for having a business mindset.

Having the opportunity to intern under Kenyatta Black Counseling provided me the opportunity to grow in my professional life, which helped to develop my professional identity to better serve clients. Being supervised by Kenyatta Black allowed me to experience her in other roles outside of a supervisor, but also a teacher, evaluator, counselor, and consultant. The developmental approach that is taken has equipped me to be competent in standard mental health assessment and safe care of clients. I have no doubt that you also will get the supervision needed under Kenyatta Black Counseling to develop necessary skills and the practice of ethical counseling to protect your clients and become a competent practitioner.

Mrs. Black has given me the opportunity to be the Practicum/LPC Associate Coordinator for the business which has allowed for professional and personal growth. The confidence and mentorship Mrs. Black has provided has given me the empowerment that I thought did not exist. My experience has been exceptional and supportive. Kenyatta Black is very knowledgeable in the field of counseling, as well as a great role model to help build and establish novel therapists in the field of counseling.

Supervision will focus on:

  • Developing professional identity
  • Counseling skills
  • Adherence to relevant ethical codes and legal statutes
  • Client/case conceptualization
  • Because multicultural competency is imperative to our profession, supervision will also include discussions of how cultural identity intersects with your work as a counselor.
  • You may be asked to share and reflect on personal experiences, past and present, relevant to your work with clients.
