Counseling Supervision

Do you have a masters degree in counseling and currently hold a limited license (LLPC) issued by the state of Michigan? If the answer is “yes”, please keep reading. If the answer is “no”, you may be seeking counseling services.

I use a Psychodynamic approach to supervision, specifically, a supervisory-matrix-centered approach. Because I believe in parallel process, the idea that the “supervisee’s interaction with the supervisor parallel’s the client’s behavior with the supervisee as the therapist” (Haynes, Corey, & Moulton, 2003), I believe the supervisory relationship must attend not only to (1) the material of the client and the supervisee, but also to (2) the examination of the relationship between the supervisor and supervisee.

Groups

There are so many benefits of groups. Well-run groups provide energy, community, and good ideas. Every person has something to offer. Depending on the subject, groups will meet weekly and run from 60-120 minutes. Most groups will run 6-10 weeks. Past subjects include parenting teenagers, childhood trauma, dealing with anxiety, and pornography addiction. I love leading groups and welcome creative ideas if there is a subject that would interest you, let me know.  

Trauma Trainings

Between 2018-2021, Jeff led the Mid-Michigan trauma assessment team, a team that included a psychologist, a social worker, an occupational therapist, and a nurse. Jeff was one of six people in the State of Michigan to lead such a team. Children eligible for trauma assessments have experienced high levels of physical and sexual abuse. Throughout this process, running assessments week after week for multiple years, Jeff learned a lot about trauma.

Jeff has presented at churches and nonprofit organizations in both half day and full day formats. He has been described as an engaging speaker who brings the content to life, and as someone who takes complex concepts and makes them understandable.
