Meet Our Clinical Supervisors
Experienced, licensed clinicians committed to shaping the next generation of mental health professionals — with rigor, compassion, and real-world expertise.
At Steady Compass, supervision is more than oversight — it's an investment in the next generation of clinicians. We take a deeply educational approach to the work we do, pairing graduate students and provisionally licensed therapists with experienced supervisors who are committed to meaningful, hands-on mentorship.
We work closely with our students at every stage of their clinical development — from navigating complex cases and ethical decision-making to building confidence in evidence-based modalities and culturally responsive care. Our supervisors bring diverse specialties and real-world expertise, creating a learning environment that is rigorous, supportive, and grounded in both theory and practice.
Whether you are completing your internship hours or working toward full licensure, you'll find at Steady Compass a team that is genuinely invested in your growth.
