Supervision at TASC provides emerging therapists with the support needed for a successful career as a holistically-prepared provider & licensed providers with a platform to reflect on & expand capacities.

Emerging Therapists

TASC Psychology offers individual, dyad, and group supervision, for those working towards professional licensure in Professional Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy. With flexible options for in-person or virtual formats, supervision complies with discipline-specific licensing requirements in the State of Wisconsin, as outlined by the Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS).

Licensed Providers

Even well-established therapists seek supervision for a variety of reasons —for ongoing support, to enhance competencies, resolve ethical dilemmas, ensure adherence to standards, receive support with their own supervision practices, and occasionally as required by a licensing board or regulating body.

Supervision for licensed professionals provides more formal and individualized support to aid in the acquisition of skills and focus on specific practices. It promotes continued learning and helps clinicians stay updated on the latest research, treatments, and ethical standards.

Going beyond the oversight of cases, we provide a framework that places equal emphasis on all aspects of your development & practice.

Framework & Approach

Supervision at TASC is structured according to the American Psychological Association (APA) guidelines for best practices. Thus, a competency-based model sets the foundation for supervision with the integration of developmental concepts and psychotherapy-based models. This approach ensures competence and preparedness, along with an organic flow of theory and practice. 

  • This model addresses the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values essential for clinical competence. It focuses on the supervisory relationship, bidirectional feedback, multiculturalism, diversity, ethics, and legal standards to foster professional growth while ensuring client protection and upholding professional standards.

  • A developmental approach to supervision fosters professional growth and development, particularly in mental health and counseling. This approach prioritizes tailored support and guidance at each training stage, cultivating competence and nurturing long-term growth with sustained success.

  • Psychotherapy-based supervision seamlessly extends the therapy process, using your theoretical orientation as a guide. This ensures a cohesive flow of terminology, focus, and technique between counseling and supervision sessions. At TASC, we employ various models in psychotherapy-based supervision.

As mental health providers, the invitation to travel alongside someone is a privilege that comes with great responsibility —we understanding the importance of having a knowledgeable & supportive supervisor by your side.
