Anmarie Reed, LCSW, CCS's Philosophy

My supervision philosophy is to provide clinical guidance to colleagues utilizing a strengths-based, Rogerian lens that emphasizes unconditional positive regard, authenticity, and empathic understanding.  I achieve these aspects through reflective listening, attunement, and mindfulness.​

My goal is to support my supervisee in identifying their present needs and/or concerns through socratic questioning.  These needs may include developing clinical skills, building self-awareness, creating case conceptualizations, honing a unique therapeutic style, as well as discerning ethical practices.Additionally, it is important to me to discuss social justice issues that may arise and the navigation of oppressive systems and practices that do not strive towards social equity. 

 ​Lastly, I prioritize creating a safe, inclusive space where my supervisee feels heard, understood, valued, and respected; these virtues are reiterated through use of strong professional boundaries. 

It is an honor to be a part of your professional journey, and I look forward to learning from one another.
