The Guide to Clinical Supervision from Gradient Psychology is the essential resource for developing clinicians seeking clarity, confidence, and structure to maximize their supervisory relationship.
Clinical supervision is a critical component of a therapist's early career, but it can often feel confusing or unstructured. This guide provides a clear, practical, and ethically informed approach, drawing from a decade-plus of clinical leadership and supervision experience.
For clinicians, this resource offers a complete, time-tested framework to:
Clarify Roles and Responsibilities: Understand the normative, restorative, and formative functions of supervision and what is expected from both the supervisor and the supervisee.
Implement a Successful Meeting Structure: Utilize a clear agenda for individual supervision, covering Check-Ins, Administrative Items, New Cases, and Case Discussions, to ensure every meeting is productive.
Set Meaningful Developmental Goals: Access a comprehensive list of suggested goals across five core areas (Integrating Theory/Practice, Documentation, Self-Awareness, Communication, and Culturally Responsive Care) to drive your professional growth.
Master Case Consultation: Define and articulate your specific needs in supervision by categorizing them into one of three essential areas: FYI, Guidance, or Processing.
Prepare for Challenges: Access practical questions to ask your new supervisor and guidance on navigating complex or "sticky" supervisory dynamics.
Written by Dr. Carolynn Gray, a clinical psychologist with extensive experience in clinical leadership and supervision, this guide is designed to make your supervision feel easier, more impactful, more useful, and less stressful.
