Why Groups?
Group supervision offers many benefits: alleviating isolation in private practice, affordable supervision hours, mutual support, and learning from/with others. My supervision groups include time for a personal and professional check-in and then discussion. Groups are grounded in anti-oppression and body liberation values and are trauma-informed.
My groups might be a good fit if
you are looking to supplement individual supervision
you are seeking connections and community with others
you enjoy reflecting on your own clinical work and can be curious, supportive and non-judgmental about others' practices
you are aware of your own identities of privilege and marginalization and willing to consider how our individual social location affects our clinical work
Eight week, two hour groups are offered at $800 which works out to $50 / group supervision hour, payable in 4 payments. Let me know if this represents a financial barrier. I also reserve limited spots for reduced fees for QTBIPOC clinicians. Please reach out to discuss.
Associates in social work, marriage and family therapy and mental health counseling are all welcome; however only LSWAICs and LMFTAs are able to count group supervision hours toward their total number of required supervision hours. LMHCAs are able to count these groups toward their post-graduate hours of experience, but need 1:1 or 2:1 supervision. Early career therapists are also welcome.
Upcoming Supervision & Consultation Groups
Supervision & Consultation Groups with Laurie Ganberg, LICSW
Wednesdays Supervision Group
-
This group is for associates and early career therapists looking for a space for reflective, clinical consultation & community grounded in anti-oppression & body liberation.
-
Groups are structured with a check in, identifying questions or issues that attendees are bringing to the group for that day, and discussion / exploring a topic—often starting with questions like what are we told to do and by who? What do our ethics say? What are the risks for harm and to which populations? What serves our clients? What serves us to work sustainably? Participants will have an opportunity to identify topics of interest to them. Past themes have included boundaries, self-disclosure, ethics, diagnosing, and endings with clients.
The style of group that I facilitate is a reflective group where all members' experiences and feedback is valued. We try to limit advice-giving except when expressly asked for by another participant.
Email if you’re interested in joining a group for the spring.

I ask that you have an individual supervisor who is signing off on your direct client hours. I will sign off on 16 group supervision hours if you attend all groups and provide you with the DOH paperwork you need at the conclusion of the series.

This small zoom group will focus on fat liberation & perinatal mental health and parenting through the lenses of attachment, trauma-informed, relational, and anti-oppressive clinical practice. Bring questions, cases, and your curiosity. And lunch of course!
This is a clinical consultation group for therapists. No supervision hours will be offered for this group. Participants are welcome to join from anywhere. Limited to 4 participants.
-
Bring questions related to fat liberation, weight stigma, HAES, fat phobia and how these issues intersect with perinatal mental health and/or parenting. It’s ok if you’re new to fat liberation or considering weight stigma - what may be helpful is identifying what your question is! Each participant will have about 15 minutes focused on their question or issue.
