Deepen your work

The best therapists talk about their work.

In an individual session, two living people meet, each shaped by personal histories, values, and wishes. It is so tempting to look only at the client’s material and avoid knowing about our own responses both conscious and unconscious. In every session, two people bring their histories, expectations, and ways of relating into the room. Our own responses shape the work and the possibilities those reactions open or constrain. Supervision invites us into a deep thought partnership where a trusted colleague helps us see more fully what is happening in the room and supports us in becoming a more careful and conscious.

In supervision we notice the feelings that arise, the patterns that repeat, and the moments that feel confusing, pain, or stuck. Together we look closely at the emotional tone of the therapy, the places where the work opens up, and the places where it tightens. We pay attention to what may be getting enacted, avoided, or unconsciously communicated — not to pathologize, but to understand the deeper meanings and possibilities within the relationship.

Whether you’re seeking support with individuals, couples, trauma, attachment themes, or the challenges of long-term psychodynamic work, supervision can help you feel less alone in the room. The goal is to strengthen your clinical intuition, deepen your capacity to think emotionally about the work, and help you show up with more clarity, steadiness, and compassion.

For therapists in Philadelphia and beyond, supervision is a sustaining part of practice. It allows you to grow your voice, tolerate complexity, and stay connected to the curiosity and care that make this work meaningful.
