Becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) is an exciting and challenging journey that requires not only education and training but also ongoing mentorship and guidance. At Kenyatta Black Counseling, we understand the importance of selecting the right supervisor as you work toward your licensure. The supervisor/associate relationship is one of collaboration, trust, and growth. As an LPC Associate, you need a supervisor who will provide you with the tools and support necessary to navigate this critical phase of your career.
Choosing the right supervisor is one of the most important decisions you will make on your path to becoming a professional counselor. I encourage you to do your due diligence in selecting a supervisor who possesses the experience and qualities necessary to guide you through what can sometimes be a confusing and overwhelming process.
Becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) requires not only education but the right guidance and support. At Kenyatta Black Counseling, Tameka Turner offers LPC Associates a collaborative and growth-focused supervision experience.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Supervisor, Tameka brings a compassionate, practical approach, drawing from her experience working with youth, families, and adults. She focuses on helping associates build strong clinical skills, develop effective treatment strategies, and navigate real-world challenges with confidence.
Tameka values a supervision relationship built on trust, open communication, and professional growth. Her goal is to equip LPC Associates with the tools they need to succeed and become confident, well-rounded clinicians.

Kenyatta Black Counseling is more than an internship site, they are a supportive community that has been a key part of my journey to become a therapist. As I mentioned before it is inspiring to see those who look like me, especially black women in the mental health/counseling field. From the weekly site supervisions with open dialogue to discuss clients, therapeutic techniques and or everyday concerns is why I love Kenyatta Black Counseling.

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.

I started my practicum, internship 1 and 2, with Kenyatta Black Counseling. 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.

Being at Kenyatta Black Counseling has been an amazing experience. I have learned so much to become the best therapist I can be. It has been a pleasure to connect with this community. Being able to do this with black women in the mental health field has been inspiring. The weekly supervisions have been so educational and provide comfort when asking questions.

When I was an intern, Ms. Black was my supervisor. I knew she was the one to pick after our first meeting. I instantly felt relaxed and comfortable in her presence and in sharing with her. She has always made herself available for questions or reassurance. Her flexibility, professional respect for interns and colleagues, and knowledge/experience with trauma made her the perfect fit. She has a big heart and has really helped to launch my professional counseling career. It is not hard to see why her clients must love her so much.

Mrs. Black comes highly recommended as a therapist and as a supervisor. She is ethical and practical in caring for clients and training new therapists. You’re not simply receiving therapy; you’re receiving an experience.
MS Clinical Mental Health Counseling
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.

When you look up the definition of supervision, it’s often described as the act of overseeing someone or something. However, when Ms. Black served as my supervisor, the definition should have read: “guidance and insight offered to address challenges or obstacles in the field of psychology, delivered with compassion, warmth, ethical integrity, and professionalism.” Ms. Black equipped me to become a therapist grounded in strong moral principles, while encouraging me to embrace my unique energy and perspective. Under her guidance, I learned to be both effective and unconventional—a therapist who stands out while upholding the highest standards of care.
Intern I
When I first started looking for a practicum site. I wanted to find a site where I could connect my values and core beliefs without compromising a little of me. But that was not the case at Kenyatta Black Counseling LLC. Mrs. Black and her colleagues were everything I prayed for. They accepted me with open arms and I have grown so much under Mrs. Black’s Supervision. Mrs. Black is honest and straight to the point. She will provide you with knowledge and wisdom during one-on-one or group supervision. If you are ready to be part of a family and not just a team, then Kenyatta Black Counseling LLC.
Kenyatta, was a phenomenal supervisor throughout my journey as an lpc- intern (formal BHEC title). Not only is she supportive, she is flexible and pushes you to reach your goals. She is ethical and ensures that all clinicians reach their professional goals. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, innovative, ethical and supportive supervisor. I would recommend Kenyatta!
I believe that supervision should be more than just a requirement— it should be a transformative experience that helps you develop your unique style as a counselor. I am passionate about supporting LPC associates as they find their footing and grow into ethical, competent, and confident therapists.
Here are some reasons why you should consider working with me as your LPC Associate supervisor:
The State of Texas requires LPC associates to complete a minimum of 18 months and 3,000 hours of supervised clinical experience to obtain licensure. LPC associates are allowed to have two supervisors, and half of their monthly supervision can be obtained through group supervision. I require my supervisees to attend group supervision, which is held on either Monday at 6:00 PM or Wednesday at 11:00 AM.
I charge a flat monthly fee for supervision, and details regarding payment arrangements will be provided during the onboarding process.
If you are ready to begin your journey with Kenyatta Black Counseling, the first step is to reach out to my Practicum/LPC Associate Coordinator, Danielle. Please email her a copy of your resume and briefly explain your professional goals during your internship.
