Case formulation
Move from a list of facts toward testable explanations and coherent treatment planning.
Clinical supervision
Structured supervision for developing counselors.
Dr. Travis McKie-Voerste, PhD, LPC, NCC, ACS, provides a collaborative space for clinical development, ethical decision-making, case conceptualization, and professional identity.
A developmental approach
Support that changes as your competence grows.
Supervision should be more than a case report. The work can integrate skill development, structured reflection, direct feedback, ethics, multicultural and social-justice considerations, documentation, boundaries, and sustainable professional practice.
The emphasis shifts with experience: more structure and teaching when a skill is new, and more consultation, autonomy, and challenge as competence develops.
What supervision may include
Clear expectations, deliberate practice, and honest feedback.
Clinical skills
Review interventions, therapeutic process, alliance, outcomes, and next-step decisions.
Ethics & context
Examine risk, power, identity, documentation, scope, law, consultation, and client welfare.
Good-fit questions
Consider fit before you commit.
- Do you want structured feedback and accountability?
- Are evidence-based conceptualization and measurable goals important to you?
- Are you open to examining culture, power, values, and blind spots?
- Do your professional stage, setting, and client population fit the supervisor’s competence?
