Supervision - What to Expect - EVOLUCIÓN COUNSELING

Supervision Redefined: Experience & Empowerment.

Comprehensive LPC-Associate Supervision with Dr. Seth Sampson & Dr. Angela Cano Sampson

Embark on your journey to becoming a fully licensed professional counselor with the dynamic support and unparalleled expertise of Dr. Seth Sampson and Dr. Angela Cano Sampson. As esteemed Assistant Professors in the thriving School Counseling program at Texas A&M International University (TAMIU), we bring a wealth of academic knowledge and extensive real-world experience to empower your growth.

What will we use as Our Supervision Model?

Drawing from our combined decades of experience as School Counselors, Counselor Educators, and Licensed Professional Counselors, we deeply understand the multifaceted journey of becoming a confident and competent clinician. Our approach to supervision is integrative, with Bernard’s Discrimination Model serving as our principal framework. We have found this model to be exceptionally suited for fostering robust development in clients, students, and supervisees alike, both within Evolución Counseling and throughout our extensive careers.

This powerful model allows us to seamlessly shift between three distinct foci for supervision:

• Intervention: Sharpening your immediate counseling techniques and responses.
• Conceptualization: Deepening your understanding of client cases and treatment planning.
• Personalization: Nurturing your professional identity, self-awareness, and well-being.

Simultaneously, we embrace three vital supervisor roles to fully support your unique needs: teacher, counselor, and consultant. This flexible and responsive model ensures you receive precise, tailored guidance that evolves with your developmental stage.

What is our theoretical orientation for practice with clients?

We enthusiastically borrow from a rich tapestry of theoretical orientations when working with clients, believing that an integrated approach offers the most comprehensive and adaptable tools. More importantly, our passion lies in shaping the robust theoretical orientation of our supervisees. We delve deeply into how to integrate theory with real-world client challenges during our supervision sessions, ensuring you gain the confidence in your delivery and the vast knowledge of strategies available to truly assist your clients in meeting their treatment goals.

What other types of sites will we approve for Associates We supervise?

We proudly accept a variety of sites for LPC Associates, recognizing the diverse pathways to licensure. Given our particular backgrounds, we offer unparalleled insight into varied settings. While our specialization and passion lie in working with LPC Associates earning hours in a school setting, providing unique insights into this dynamic environment, our extensive experience also includes having successfully managed our own private practice for over 5 years and contributing to community mental health at the San Antonio Refugee Center for close to a decade. This broad background ensures we are exceptionally well-equipped to guide associates gaining experience in a comprehensive range of approved settings, bridging school, private practice, and community counseling.

Do We offer in-person or virtual supervision?

Yes! At Evolución Counseling, we champion the future of supervision, primarily offering dynamic virtual supervision designed with your convenience and accessibility in mind. We’ve embraced the power of technology to make high-quality mentorship a seamless part of your busy schedule.

We are proud to confirm that the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (BHEC) explicitly approves of virtual supervision, stipulating that “Supervision toward licensure… may occur… via audio, web technology or other electronic supervision techniques that comply with HIPAA and Texas Health and Safety Code, Chapter 611, and/or other applicable state or federal statutes or rules”. Over the past several years, this state-approved approach has proven remarkably successful for all parties involved, establishing itself as a highly effective and inspiring way to gain your supervision hours.

Through our secure and user-friendly virtual platform, you’ll experience:

• Unparalleled Convenience: Eliminate travel time and logistical hurdles, allowing you to engage in enriching supervision from anywhere across Texas. This flexibility means less stress and more time dedicated to your professional growth.
• Logistical Friendliness: Our virtual setup makes scheduling simpler and more adaptable, ensuring you can consistently meet your supervision requirements without disruption.
• Ready Accessibility for Crisis Consultations: We understand that critical issues can arise unexpectedly. Our virtual availability means we are readily accessible for quick consultations on urgent client needs or crisis situations, providing timely support when you need it most.

We are committed to providing you with an accessible, robust, and technologically advanced supervision experience that perfectly aligns with your journey to becoming a confident LPC. While we primarily leverage the advantages of virtual supervision, we are also happy to accommodate in-person meetings when requested, ensuring a truly personalized and flexible experience for all our supervisees.

How much do We charge for supervision?

• Individual/Group Supervision Sessions: $80.00/session

We believe quality supervision should be accessible. If you are struggling with your supervision budget, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are more than happy to work with you to help you reach your professional goals.
