For eligible supervisor candidates
Become an AAMFT Approved Supervisor
Individual mentoring for clinicians pursuing the AAMFT Approved Supervisor designation and developing a clear, responsible supervisory practice.
Mentoring grounded in supervisory practice
Becoming a supervisor requires more than learning a new set of procedures. It means learning to supervise clinical reasoning, evaluate professional development, give clear feedback, address ethical responsibilities, and understand how your own position affects the supervisory relationship.
Linda is a current AAMFT Approved Supervisor and Full Professional Member with Clinical Fellow designation who meets AAMFT's requirements to serve as an Approved Supervisor mentor, including more than 120 hours of post-designation supervision of MFT trainees. She is qualified to mentor and guide supervisor candidates pursuing the AAMFT Approved Supervisor designation.
Who may seek mentoring
Linda provides individual AAMFT Approved Supervisor mentoring to eligible supervisor candidates pursuing the AAMFT Approved Supervisor designation. Mentoring may be provided remotely to candidates in all states, subject to applicable state licensing and supervision requirements.
AAMFT eligibility and designation standards can change. Before mentoring begins, you and Linda will review your current membership status, educational and professional qualifications, planned supervision activity, and the requirements that apply to your training route. You remain responsible for confirming current AAMFT and jurisdictional requirements.
