Self as Therapist Group Supervision

Welcome to my Group! I offer a support space that invites exploring the use of "Self as Therapist" (from Ken Hardy) - how who we are impacts the clinical space relationally, politically, and somatically. I use a gestalt framework and begin with a body-based centering and check in. You will have opportunities to practice somatic work as well as inviting spirituality in as tools for healing. The group will run monthly for three hours in the morning. Days and time will be determined once members are identified. It will be in person. I welcome junior and more seasoned clinicians.
