Choosing a clinical supervisor is a decision that will significantly impact your future as a clinician. I am a certified clinical supervisor for Social Work Interns in Florida and offer supervision for associate-level clinicians. At this time I am providing supervision for supervisees who are interested in the areas of trauma and sex.

Together we will focus on essential skills and intervention, documentation, ethical practices, your development, the importance of self-care, implementing theory in counseling, and ensuring that you feel and are competent.

Step 1	Contact Me	This initial conversation is to see if Romeo’s sensation is the right fit for your supervision goals.
Step 2	Lets Meet	We meet for coffee and pie (In person or virtual) and discuss the direction, expectations and other logistics
Step 3	Supervision Starts	We start meeting (50% must be face to face) at a frequency that works for the both of us.

Key Aspects of Supervision

Throughout our time together I will be constantly evaluating you on how you grow in all areas, but highlighting the following 14 areas;

Professionalism, Attendance, Working relationship with other professionals, Therapeutic relationship with the client, Recordkeeping, Client assessments, Treatment planning, Discharge, Case management, Clinical counseling skills, Responsiveness to supervision, Enthusiasm for work, Responsibility and dependability, and finally, self-starting.

Therapeutic Modalities

Having a versatile toolbox to draw from with clients is highly important, as well as being able to shift when needed is essential. Having a supervisor who is trained and/or certified in various modalities helps to expand your toolbox so you decrease the chances of getting “stuck” as often. A few of the modalities Romel draws from are;

CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), MI (Motivational Interviewing), DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems) EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Sensate Focus, Client-Centered, Solution Focused.

The structure of CBT coupled with clients’ ability to navigate sticking points with MI are very helpful. As the change process unfolds, ACT works well with accepting the parts of self and the whole self (IFS). Because therapy has a start and end date, solution-focused is an underlying thread coupled with Client-centered as the client continues to remain the expert in their life. Because we are all sexual beings, sensate allows for sexual parts of self not to be ignored and to be engaged throughout the process.

EMDR or TF-CBT coupled with IFS works extremely well to explore parts of the self that remain determined to protect clients from what is deemed as “harm” and to work to integrate various parts from the lens of trauma healing (TF-CBT) or AIP model (EMDR)
