Ruth M. Strunz, RP, CCC: Clinical Supervisor

 The goal of clinical supervision is to enhance the supervisee’s performance to ensure client (public) safety, through clinical competence and consistent adherence to legal, professional, and ethical standards. I provide individual, dyadic and group supervision, in-person and virtually. I utilize multiple teaching/learning techniques which include discussion, journaling and other reflective practices, role play, literature review, self-report, and reviewing recordings of the supervisee in session. I experience the supervisory relationship as a pivotal element of the therapist’s professional growth journey. I honour it’s ethical and legal boundaries, and I hold my role and responsibilities within it with care and commitment.

My supervisory style is developmental; I delight in facilitating new therapists as they move from intern to seasoned professional. Equally, I value the experience of supervising experienced therapists who want to engage in reflective practice and further learning as pathways to deepening their understanding of their work, and themselves. Recognizing the evaluative component of the supervisory relationship, I provide timely formative and summative feedback, and my supervisees are invited to self-evaluate both formally and informally, as needed.
