Professional supervision for therapists
For therapists strengthening their clinical work and experienced clinicians preparing to become supervisors themselves.
Linda Levine, LMFT | AAMFT Clinical Fellow & Approved Supervisor | Online supervision
Two paths
Both services are built around careful clinical thinking, direct feedback, and clear professional expectations.
For therapists
A structured place to examine difficult cases, clinical judgment, ethical questions, relational patterns, use of self, and professional development—not simply to accumulate supervision hours.
Linda provides individual online supervision to postgrad prospective licensees and experienced therapists. Whether supervision can count toward licensure depends on the requirements of the supervisee's jurisdiction.

Mentoring for clinicians working through the AAMFT Approved Supervisor process, with attention to supervisory skill, philosophy, evaluation, documentation, and the development of your own supervisory voice.
Linda provides individual AAMFT Approved Supervisor mentoring to eligible supervisor candidates. Mentoring may be provided remotely to candidates in all states, subject to applicable state licensing and supervision requirements.
Explore supervisor mentoring →The work itself
Good supervision creates room to slow clinical work down: to examine what happened in the room, what you understood, what you missed, what you felt pulled to do, and what you may want to do differently next time.
The goal is not dependency on a supervisor. It is stronger judgment, greater clarity, and increasing confidence in your own professional reasoning.
Move beyond “What should I do?” toward understanding why one intervention, frame, or decision makes sense in a particular case.
Attend not only to individuals, but also to patterns, context, alliances, family systems, and the therapist's position within the work.
Address uncertainty, risk, boundaries, documentation, and professional obligations directly rather than treating them as administrative afterthoughts.
Use supervision to build a coherent clinical identity—and, for supervisor candidates, an equally coherent supervisory identity.
How I work
Supervision works best when expectations are explicit and uncertainty can be discussed without guessing where you stand.
Supervision has to make room for “I’m not sure what to do here.” Candor makes the work more useful.
Suggestions, concerns, and requirements should be distinguishable from one another.
If I have a concern about your work, I believe it should be addressed directly and early rather than saved for a later evaluation.
Goals, development, documentation, and next steps are revisited as the work develops.
A visible process
For AAMFT Approved Supervisor candidates, the process also includes the formal training plan, ongoing mentoring, development of a philosophy of supervision, and required evaluation and documentation.
About Linda
“Good supervision has to make room for a therapist to say, ‘I’m not sure what to do here.’ My job is to make that candor useful.”
I am an LMFT, AAMFT Clinical Fellow, and AAMFT Approved Supervisor with decades of clinical experience, much of it focused on couples and relational work. I work with therapists who want to strengthen their clinical judgment and with experienced clinicians learning to become supervisors themselves.
My approach is collaborative, but supervision is not simply consultation. At times a supervisor has to evaluate, question, challenge, or give a clear direction. I believe those responsibilities should be transparent.
Linda also has experience supervising postgrad therapists seeking licensure. Her supervision combines relational and systemic thinking with direct attention to ethical responsibility, clinical judgment, and the supervisee's developing professional identity.

Linda also provides couples therapy, individual therapy, Discernment Counseling, and family-building and fertility support through a separate clinical practice.

These are practical questions, but they are also trust questions. The answers should be clear before you commit to a supervision relationship.
Working agreement
I will be prepared, candid, and respectful; tell you directly when I have a concern; distinguish suggestions from requirements; keep supervision documentation current; and review your progress with you rather than evaluating you only in retrospect.
I will expect you to bring difficult cases and uncertainties honestly, raise concerns about our supervision relationship, follow through on agreed clinical or professional actions, maintain responsibility for your own practice, and keep track of the licensing or designation requirements that apply to you.
Practical details
The first conversation is a chance to clarify what you need, whether I can provide the appropriate supervision or mentoring, and whether the working relationship seems like a good fit.
