Supervision

The clinical directors at Dalliance Sexual Wellness Collective are able to provide supervision for therapists in training, whether they are in the process of completing their hours for licensure in the state of Colorado or are already licensed, but want continued supervision and consultation to continue self-of-the-therapist work.

Benefits of supervision with Trisha and Heather:

• Mature and grow as a strength-based, systemic therapist

• Learn to effectively create and maintain the alliance between therapist and client

• Move beyond a singular focus on treating disease to empowering clients to resolve life problems

• Facilitate change in the therapy session
