Clinical Training, Supervision & Consultation

As an Approved Clinical Supervisor, I am available to provide graduate clinical training as well as clinical supervision for licensure, and clinical consultation for those already licensed seeking continued growth in their clinical competence.

As a life long learner myself and a belief in the importance of quality work in our profession, I have a passion for providing clinical training, supervision, and consultation.  Through the use of an interpersonal approach, I aim to foster the balance of both the art and science of our work.  While training, supervision, and consultation will focus on the administrative, clinical, and supportive functions of clinical work, I also believe that we are the instrument of our trade, and therefore services will also focus on enhancing your use of Self as professional. 

Since 2009, I have provided graduate training, individual, and group supervision.  I was the Director & Training Coordinator at the Fort Lewis College Counseling Center, I currently provide training in supervision for the NASW Colorado Chapter, have completed the Advanced Clinical Supervision Certificate Program through Smith College’s School of Social Work, and have completed over 100 hours of group leadership training through the Matrix Leadership Institute in Boulder, CO.

If you are interested in training, supervision, or consultation, please email amie@fourcornerscounseling.com to schedule a free consultation.

Supervision and consultation are intended for the purpose of professional growth and development, quality assurance, and to enable proficient independent practice.  I view supervision as a means to ensure competence in new clinicians and to support the ongoing elevation of practice in seasoned clinicians.  I therefore offer both supervision for those in mental health fields seeking licensure as well as clinical consultation for those already licensed wanting to maintain their learning trajectory.  I offer supervision and consultation in both individual and group formats.
