Licensing Supervision
As a former director overseeing school-based behavioral health expansion across seven districts, Shannon brings systems-level insight into workforce development and sustainable program design.
Clinical Licensing Supervision (Washington State)
I provide structured, regulation-informed clinical supervision for associate clinicians pursuing licensure in Washington State, including LICSW, LASW, LMHC, and LMFT associates.
Supervision is a formal professional relationship governed by Washington State Department of Health (DOH) regulations. As a supervisor, I hold legal and ethical responsibility for clinical oversight and support the development of competent, ethical, and confident mental health professionals.
My supervision approach is reflective, trauma-informed, and systems-aware, supporting clinicians as they develop their clinical identity, strengthen diagnostic reasoning, and build sustainable careers in behavioral health.
I am a Washington Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), Idaho Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), and Board Certified Diplomate in Clinical Social Work (BCD) with more than twenty years of experience across outpatient care, integrated medical settings, community mental health, and behavioral health leadership.
My Supervision Philosophy
Supervision is not simply about accumulating hours.
It is about becoming a grounded, ethical, and competent clinician.
My supervision approach is:
• Reflective and trauma-informed
• Developmental and systems-aware
• Structured and compliance-focused
Supervision supports growth in:
• Clinical competence
• Ethical decision-making
• Diagnostic clarity
• Documentation excellence
• Medical necessity articulation
• Professional identity development
• Sustainable workload practices
• Countertransference awareness
• Exam preparation and licensure navigation
Because of my background in behavioral health leadership and compliance, supervision often includes:
• Chart review and documentation strengthening
• Treatment plan alignment
• Diagnostic formulation refinement
• Audit preparedness
• DOH documentation guidance
• Workflow and productivity structure
• Burnout prevention and professional sustainability

Disclaimers
Availability:
I maintain a limited number of supervisees to ensure quality and responsiveness.
Communication Policy:
Brief clarifications related to documentation, ethical questions, or supervision logistics may be addressed via email. Issues requiring clinical discussion, case review, or extended guidance will typically be addressed during scheduled supervision sessions.
Supervision is not a crisis consultation service. Urgent clinical situations should be managed through appropriate workplace supervision, clinical leadership, or established crisis response protocols.
Associates practicing in private practice settings are responsible for maintaining appropriate clinical coverage and crisis response plans, including consultation resources and emergency procedures consistent with professional standards of care.
Supervision Is Not Therapy:
Clinical supervision is a professional and educational relationship focused on clinical skill development, ethical decision-making, and licensure requirements.
While supervision may include discussion of professional stress, countertransference, and self-awareness in clinical work, it does not constitute personal psychotherapy or mental health treatment.
Associates who need personal therapeutic support are encouraged to establish care with an independent therapist outside of the supervision relationship..
Emergency Information:
Supervision is not an emergency service. If a crisis arises, contact 911 or appropriate crisis resources.

If you are seeking clinical supervision for LICSW, LASW, LMHC, or LMFT licensure in Washington State, you are welcome to apply using the contact form below.
Washington State regulations require that supervision be provided in accordance with Washington Department of Health licensure requirements, and I am only able to provide licensing supervision for clinicians pursuing licensure in Washington.
Supervision inquiries are reviewed thoughtfully to ensure alignment in supervision needs, availability, and professional fit. If space is available, we will schedule an initial consultation to determine whether supervision together would be a good fit.
Clinicians licensed or practicing in Idaho who are seeking professional guidance may be better served through professional consultation, which focuses on clinical decision-making, documentation, and practice development rather than licensure supervision.
Supervision sessions are conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth.
