Things to Consider

• Supervision style – Is the supervisor more structured, reflective, or teaching-focused?

• Clinical approach – Do their therapeutic approaches align with my interests?

• Experience – Do they have experience with the populations or issues I want to work with?

• Availability – Are they accessible for questions or consultation between sessions?

• Scheduling and fees – Am I able to attend our sessions, and can I pay the fee?

• Professional fit – Do I feel comfortable asking questions and discussing challenges?
  
  

Questions You Might Ask

• How would you describe your supervision style?

• What kinds of clients or clinical areas do you most often work with?

• How do you support associates in developing confidence and clinical skills?

• What does supervision typically look like (individual vs. group, structure, frequency)?

• What are your supervision fees and expectations?

• Responsibility – Be organized, manage your time well, respect the supervisor-supervisee relationship, as well as your LPC-A colleagues, and don’t be afraid to ask questions for your own growth and your client's benefit. 

• Engagement – Understand that being a mental health provider means being aware of past social constructs and their current impacts, as well as being proactively engaged in current efforts that support our client and their ecosystem.  

• Commitment– Show dedication to the counseling profession and your own development by seeking learning opportunities and continuing education.

• Flexibility – Supervision works best when both parties are a good fit. Either you or your supervisor can end the relationship at any time if it’s not working out.

• Knowledge – A strong ethical foundation is key. Get to know the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC) Consolidated Rulebook for Professional Counseling

• And, while we are held to BHEC's Rulebook, it's a good idea to know national ethical guidelines, too. American Counseling Association Code of Ethics
