The following reference sections serve two purposes. They 1) offer us contact information of any other supervisors who applicants may be working with, and 2) allows us to clarify supervisory role delineation.
The questions below refer to WA State approved superivsors for the purposes of accumulation of hours toward professional licensure, not a general work supervisor.
By the time you finish both Approved Supervisor sections, we should have names and contact information for all of your current and past WA State approved supervisors.
At SLR, for our purposes, this is how we define primary vs secondary supervision:
Primary supervision: Supervision with a main supervisor ("primary supervisor") who has primary responsibility for the supervision of the associate licensee. Therapy clients are seen under the license and primary supervision of this clinical supervisor. Primary supervisors have final say on all therapy recommendations. Primary supervision may support caseload and treatment plan review, theory and practice, relevant WA State rules & laws, standards of practice, coordination of work with other professionals and parties, relevant professional literature and research, and other therapy related issues. The primary supervisor has final authority if there is not agreement between supervisors in a therapeutic recommendation.
Secondary supervision: Supervision for licensure candidates who already have a primary supervisor in place. Secondary supervision may provide secondary guidance all areas addressed by a primary supervisor. One of the main purposes for choosing secondary supervision with SOUND Life Recovery is to deepen understanding of general CBT, ACT, CBT for Psychosis (CBTp), and an integrated approach to the treatment of co-occurring disorders to further enhance the supervisory experience they receive with their primary supervisor. When acting as a secondary supervisor, SOUND Life Recovery welcomes communication & collaboration to include the primary supervisor at any point for the benefit of the supervisee and their clients.
