Clinical Supervision

I am an Approved Clinical Supervisor in the State of New Jersey. If you are seeking supervision as a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC), please reach out to me at etheodorou@theodoroutherapy.com or 973-963-7485.

PURPOSE /GOALS OF SUPERVISION: 

The purpose of supervision is to foster an improvement in the supervisees counseling skills, encourage confidence, and utilize self-evaluation to promote self-understanding. Supervision will be strength-based but also evaluative in that the supervisee will receive critical feedback. The goal of supervision is to develop the supervisee as a professional and help guide decisions based on the ethical guidelines and standards of the area of counseling. With that in mind, my goals for supervision are as follows: 

 • I would like to help the supervisee always keep in mind the best interest of the client, while balancing the best interests of yourself, as a counseling professional, as well. 

 • My goal is for my supervisee to develop their clinical skills:
1)To gain a thorough understanding of different evidence based models of therapy

2)To develop clinical skills in assessment, utilization of the DSM-5-TR and utilization of medical necessity patient placement criteria.

• Although I my theoretical orientation is Cognitive Therapy, I would like to foster the development of the supervisee’s theoretical orientation through the exploration of various readings, review of the supervisee’s counseling style and delivery, and practical applications.

 • My supervision draws from the Developmental Model of Supervision, which proposes that supervisees develop through stages in different areas of functioning and competencies. Supervisees have specific concerns and issues at each stage of development which I will take into account and modify interventions appropriately based on your needs at any given time. I utilize the Bernard and Goodyard model for your reference.

 • By abiding by the ACA Code of Ethics, the State of New Jersey Code of Ethics, and the Approved Clinical Supervisor Code of Ethics of the Center for Credentialing & Education, I hope to help develop an ethical framework and more importantly gain a deeper understanding of the ethical guidelines and principles set forth by the field of counseling.
