Artifacts 1 & 2 were completed during COUC 714 Supervision and Consultation:

In this course, “students review counseling leadership styles in task-oriented and personal growth groups. Current research on group counseling models and applications is critiqued. Emphasis is placed upon leadership behaviors that are most facilitative to the group process.”

Artifact 1: Personal Clinical Supervision Model

Through learning about the purpose of counseling supervision (CACREP Standard 6.B.2.a) and the various theoretical frameworks and models of clinical supervision (CACREP Standard 6.B.2.b), I was able to integrate components from various models to create a personal clinical supervision model, DIMOTIS. DIMOTIS was uniquely created to enhance clinical supervision for counselors serving populations with comorbidities and substance use disorders showcasing competency in the use of skills of counseling supervision across multiple settings and service delivery modalities (CACREP Standard 6.B.2.d). This artifact demonstrates competency as it addresses the roles and relationships related to counseling supervision (CACREP Standard 6.B.2.c) while integrating my personal style of counseling supervision grounded in theory and research (CACREP Standard 6.B.2.e).

Artifact 2: Clinical Supervision Ethics Informed Consent and Agreement

After completing the clinical supervision model, it was important to develop an appropriate consent form for future clinical supervision opportunities that addressed various competencies as required by CACREP standards. Demonstrated within this artifact is competency with various modalities of counseling supervision (CACREP Standard 6.B.2.g), the use of technology in counseling supervision (CACREP Standard: 6.B.2.h), administrative procedures and responsibilities related to counseling supervision (CACREP Standard 6.B.2.i), evaluation, remediation, and gatekeeping responsibilities (CACREP Standard: 6.B.2.j), and legal and ethical issues and responsibilities in counseling supervision (CACREP Standard 6.B.2.k).

Artifacts 3-5 were completed during COUC 980 Supervision Internship

In this course, “Theory, practice, and experience of supervision for counselors in training are reviewed. Students apply principles and theory while supervising other students, as well as being supervised themselves.”

Artifacts 3-5: Initial Session, Second Session, and Final Self-Reflection Paper.

Clinical supervisory experience was a requirement for the successful completion of the course. For these assignments, we were required to videotape and submit two supervisory sessions and then write reflections on the experience. In these reflections, we had to identify areas of the video where we showcased appropriate skills of counseling supervision, areas of growth, and the use of our supervision model. Demonstrated within these artifacts is competency is the roles and relationships related to counseling supervision (CACREP Standard 6.B.2.c), a personal style of counseling supervision grounded in theory and research (CACREP Standard 6.B.2.e), assessment of supervisees’ developmental level (CACREP Standard 6.B.2.f), the use of technology in counseling supervision (CACREP Standard: 6.B.2.h), administrative procedures and responsibilities related to counseling supervision (CACREP Standard 6.B.2.i), evaluation, remediation, and gatekeeping responsibilities (CACREP Standard: 6.B.2.j), and legal and ethical issues and responsibilities in counseling supervision (CACREP Standard 6.B.2.k). Through discussing cultural and ethical concerns with the supervisee, I demonstrated the ability to utilize culturally sustaining strategies for conducting counseling supervision (CACREP Standard: 6.B.2.l).
