Therapist Internship Gone Wrong: Why I Let a Pre-Doc Student Go

Описание: I fired a therapy intern and this is what happened, what I learned, and what every clinical supervisor and group practice owner needs to understand about supervision, accountability, and ethics. If you supervise pre-licensed therapists, doctoral interns, associates, or pre-doc students, this is a real-world supervision case study you need to hear.

⬇️ Grab the Clinical Supervision Starter Kit to help you structure supervision, streamline documentation, and build a repeatable supervision model inside your private practice.
