Internships and Supervision Hours for CRPO
Jan 14, 2019
NOTE: I am not currently taking on internships. I am available for supervision hours on a fee for service basis.
Part of my practice is conducting "supervised practice" where I am available to serve students and therapists for supervision.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my own experiences of supervision over the years - starting out in private practice and as an ongoing part of being a professional. I have also found providing supervision to be equally enjoyable. Providing a positive supervision experience is my goal. I have said to many that supervising others both keeps me on my toes but has also been very rewarding to see past interns and present supervisees grow. Working in collaboration to assist people and families is what I thrive on. I am very thankful for each of my supervisees and interns. They have made me be a better therapist.
Perhaps you are a Masters in Counselling student who needs a setting to do your internship in. I have now worked with 5 Masters of Counselling students to successfully complete their internships. These students were part of programs from Liberty University, Yorkville University and Providence Seminary.
Perhaps you are a therapist in need of Supervision Hours to become registered with the the CRPO (College of Registered Psychotherpists of Ontario). In Ontario, in order to practice psychotherapy in Ontario, you must be a member of this college. To become registered, you need 100 hours of supervision and perform a minimum of 450 hours of therapy. (Please see further details at crpo.ca for your registration requirements). Your supervisor must be a member in good standing of the CRPO or be an approved supervisor of your professional body.
I am a member in good standing with the CRPO. I have also successfully completed the Masters level course, "Fundamentals of Supervision". This course is required by the American/Ontario Association of Marriage and Family Therapy to become an Approved Supervisor. I am working on pursuing that designation.
