 The supervisory relationship is a unique, collaborative, multifaceted place of discovery to deepen your clinical skills and theoretical orientation, develop your sense of identity in the work, increase your capacity for critical inquiry of systems, and expand your awareness of self.

faqs

  • I seek to support you to develop your style and approach with confidence, to move through difficult and painful situations in your work, while underscoring systemic inequities, oppression and power, identity and intersectionality.

    It is a joy to work with other clinicians in this way and I continually learn from the didactic, dynamic, developmental process of supervision.  Witnessing folks explore and discover themselves as a clinician (and person) within this challenging and inspiring field is an honor, and is vitalizing for my own practice. 

    Finding your voice and sense of self in this work is a beautiful, surprising, challenging experience. I aim for our supervisory relationship to be one of safety and ease, learning and exploration. 

    And yes, we can definitely talk about that test too.

  • I have 15 years of direct experience in a broad range of social work contexts in and across many systems pre and post masters, which gives me a distinctive understanding of the field. 

    I have been in various supervisory roles since 2015, first for MSW advanced clinical internships, then as a clinical supervisor for two youth mental health programs, and as a team leader for a contemplative psychotherapy program.

    I’ve had the privilege of supervising for licensure since 2018.

    I approach supervision non-hierarchically, with curiosity and creativity, authenticity and directness, care and compassion.on text goes here

  • I supervisory relationship requires commitment, clarity, and intention. Feeling clear alignment, mutuality of fit, and having an informed consent process is an important step before embarking on this journey together.

offerings

  • Individual supervision is an opportunity to process your work and self in work. It can be a place of unfiltered exploration. I will support you with presence, validation, curiosity, and kindness. I will reflect back to you where I see strengths and opportunities for growth.

  • I facilitate a monthly 2 hr group with a selection of 5 clinicians. It is an opportunity for connection, validation, case consultation, feedback and discovery. While I facilitate and create structure, the group collaboratively creates the overall direction and culture.

testimonials

former supervisee:

“Linnea is an amazing therapist whom I have had the pleasure of working with for over 4 years. She is an extremely knowledgeable and intuitive person with astute clinical judgment. 

I know her to practice from a trauma, gender, and racially-informed framework. She is experienced in both traditional and non-traditional approaches and so can offer people a real variety of therapeutic options tailored to their needs. She also understands and respects chronic illness and pain and acknowledges the ways in which the medical model can fall short of meeting peoples needs. 

As her client, you can expect she will show you cultural humility and her work will be guided by the wisdom and knowledge you bring to session.”

former supervisee:

“Working with Linnea in individual and group supervision was greatly impactful for my development as a therapist. After having a series of harmful supervision experiences, I was (and am) grateful that supervision with Linnea was a place where I could show up fully as myself, feel deeply cared for, and receive support, guidance, and reflections to expand my thinking and clinical work.

I trusted that I could go to her with questions - even ones that I felt self-conscious about asking - and know that she would still regard me as an intelligent and caring provider, all while getting answers to what I was asking. (And if she didn't know the answer to something, she made the effort to find an answer or a resource!)

I highly recommend Linnea for supervision! .”

former supervisee:

“Beyond her insight and experience, I have always known that Linnea is invested in my flourishing—both as a person and as a clinician.  I can bring anything to the table with Linnea. Whether it be a case consultation, an ethical question over policy, or a general sense of burnout, I have been met by Linnea in supervision with compassion and unwavering support.  She challenges me to be excellent in all that I do in my social work practice, and exemplifies the values of justice and empathy in her own work.  I cannot recommend Linnea highly enough as a clinical supervisor, you will be changed by having her in your life.”

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke
