In-person sessions starting May 1st.
If you're working in child welfare, a hospital, a community agency, or private practice, you already know that the complexity of what you're managing doesn't always match the support available inside your organization. Internal supervision is often tied to performance evaluation.
Peer support is valuable but has limits. And the cases and situations that actually keep you up at night rarely get the time and space they deserve.
You may be early in your career or you may be years into practice and finding that the work is more complex than it used to be, or that something has shifted and you want a space to think about it carefully. You may be working in a setting — child welfare, hospital, rural or remote practice — where you are effectively the only one doing what you do, and where you cannot always be fully honest with the people above you.
External clinical supervision gives you a space that is independent of your employer, independent of your organization's dynamics, and structured specifically around your clinical development and professional judgment.
Clinical supervision is an ongoing relationship. Sessions include case discussion, attention to clinical formulation and decision-making, and space to notice what the work is doing to you over time like the emotional residue, the patterns that show up across cases, the places where your judgment feels uncertain.
This is a structured, confidential space to think carefully about the work and to develop as a clinician.
Sessions are 75 minutes. Frequency is shaped collaboratively based on your caseload, experience level, and what you're working toward. Some supervisees meet bi-weekly; others monthly. That can shift over time.
Fee: $225 per session
Case-focused consultation is available for RSWs who want focused input on a specific case or clinical situation rather than an ongoing supervision relationship.
You bring the clinical material. Sessions centre on the case itself, for example, assessment, formulation, ethical considerations, risk, or a specific decision you are navigating. This is not about your overall caseload or professional development more broadly; it is concentrated input on what you've brought to the consultation.
Sessions are 50 minutes and can be booked as needed. Some clinicians use case consultation on its own. Others alternate between consultation and ongoing supervision depending on what's most useful at a given point.
Fee: $180 per session
Kristin is a Registered Social Worker with over 25 years of experience, including more than a decade in child welfare management and senior leadership across complex public sector systems. She has worked inside the same regulatory frameworks that govern practice, and she has managed the kinds of decisions, liability exposures, and organizational pressures that rarely make it into supervision discussions because there's not always someone available to have them with.
She understands the weight of child welfare work and what it does to the people doing it over time. She understands the isolation of rural and northern practice, the position of being the only RSW in a multidisciplinary team, and the gap between what a system is supposed to provide and what it actually can.
A free 30-minute consultation is available before committing to supervision or consultation.
Supervision is a significant investment, in time, money, and the quality of a working relationship.
The consultation is an opportunity to discuss what you're looking for, ask questions, and determine whether this is the right fit.
