SUPERVISION

Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP) Supervision

I am an Endorsed CPP Trainer for Colorado and train the Colorado behavioral health workforce in that intervention. As part of the CPP training process, I provide clinical case consultation to providers across the state. Additionally, I am a rostered CPP provider, and I have over 10 years of clinical experience implementing that model, while treating infants and young children who have experienced child abuse and neglect, medical trauma, and traumatic grief, loss, and separations. My clinical application of CPP has taken place in community mental health centers on both community-based and outpatient teams, and I have expertise with CPP and families involved in the child welfare system.

If you are interested in CPP supervision, please reach out to me directly to get started.

Reflective Supervision/ Consultation

What is Reflective Supervision/Consultation?

Reflective Supervision/Consultation (RS/C) is a specific framework for clinical case consultation and supervision within the field of infant and early childhood mental health. At the heart of RS/C is the Reflective Alliance, the working relationship between the supervisee/consultee and the supervisor/consultant. The Reflective Interaction Observation Scale (RIOS™), a measurement and practice tool that was co-developed by leaders from the Alliance for the Advancement of Infant Mental Health and researchers at the University of Minnesota, defines and operationalize the process and content of RS/C.  

    • Understanding the family story 

    • Holding the baby in mind 

    • Professional use of self 

    • Parallel process 

    • Reflective alliance 

    • Describing: “What do we know?” 

    • Responding: “How do we and others think and feel about this? 

    • Exploring: “What might this mean?” 

    • Linking: “Why does this matter?” 

    • Integrating: “What have we learned?”

In my application of RS/C, I follow the Best Practice Guidelines for Reflective Supervision/Consultation, as set forth by the Alliance for the Advancement of Infant Mental Health and the Michigan Association of Infant Mental Health: Best Practice Guidelines for RS/C
