Supervision / Consultation
Rachel Michaelsen, LCSW, frequently tells people that she is a therapist; she trains people to be therapists; and she trains people who train people to be therapists. Not only has she had the opportunity to supervise beginning and advanced mental-health providers and supervisors, but she has also been privileged to teach clinical-supervision courses to supervisors throughout California and across the county.
Ms. Michaelsen is available to provide clinical supervision to MFT trainees and interns, LPCC interns, and Associate Social Workers, in person and via videoconferencing. (MFT interns, LPPC interns, and ASWs working in government entities, schools, colleges or universities, or nonprofit/charitable institutions may obtain all supervision via live, two-way videoconferencing.) She also provides clinical consultation to licensed clinicians and supervisors. |
