Supervision

Students will be expected to complete 40 hours of individual supervision during the two years of the program. They can schedule this in any frequency they would like. They can utilize one or more supervisors. They will be encouraged to explore their own relationship issues/styles as a component of the supervision since this can be an important source of countertransference when working with a couple. Supervision will occur in supervisors' offices.
