hi, I’m Zoe!

My approach

I have over two years of experience supervising student interns in both generalist and clinical roles within hospital, community mental health, and private practice settings. I’m deeply committed to providing thoughtful, supportive supervision that balances skill development, ethical practice, and professional confidence.

While my prior supervisory experience has been exclusively with student interns, I’m excited to extend this work to registered interns and bring the same structured, intentional approach to clinical supervision. I view supervision as a collaborative relationship grounded in curiosity, transparency, and accountability, with an emphasis on helping clinicians understand the why behind their clinical decisions.

My supervision model focuses on:

• Developing strong clinical judgment and ethical decision-making
• Building confidence through structured feedback and consistent support
• Strengthening documentation, boundaries, and professional identity
• Integrating theory, lived experience, and real-world clinical practice

My goal is to provide supervision that is clear, supportive, and grounded in practical application, preparing interns to grow into confident, competent clinicians.

Things we’ll work on

Balance

I believe effective therapy and sustainable clinical work require balance—between structure and flexibility, challenge and compassion, growth and rest. Balance allows clients and clinicians alike to move forward without becoming overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected from themselves.

Competency

Competency is built through intentional practice, reflection, and a willingness to keep learning. I emphasize developing strong clinical judgment, understanding the “why” behind interventions, and applying skills thoughtfully rather than mechanically.

Ethics

Ethical practice is the foundation of meaningful clinical work. I prioritize clear boundaries, informed consent, scope of practice, and thoughtful decision-making, especially when working with complex or high-risk presentations. Ethics are not just rules to follow, but values that guide every clinical choice.

Self-Trust

Healing and growth depend on learning to trust one’s internal experience. I support clients and clinicians in strengthening self-trust—listening to their instincts, tolerating uncertainty, and making decisions aligned with their values rather than fear or external pressure.

Preparation

Preparation creates safety and confidence. Whether in therapy or supervision, I value coming prepared—with intention, curiosity, and a clear sense of purpose. Thoughtful preparation allows sessions to be focused, effective, and responsive to what is most clinically relevant.

Authenticity

Authenticity means showing up honestly and fully, without pretense. I believe real change happens when clients and clinicians feel safe enough to be genuine, imperfect, and human. Authenticity fosters trust, deepens connection, and allows meaningful work to happen.

Frequently asked questions

  • Populations I Work With

    I work primarily with adolescents and women in an outpatient mental health setting. Much of my clinical work focuses on individuals with histories of trauma, eating disorders, and borderline personality disorder (BPD), as well as clients experiencing chronic emotional dysregulation, relationship instability, identity concerns, and difficulty managing intense emotions.

    I frequently work with clients who present with complex, overlapping concerns and benefit from structured, skills-based treatment combined with a strong therapeutic relationship.

    Treatment Approach

    My clinical approach is trauma-informed and grounded in evidence-based practices, while remaining relational, approachable, and conversational rather than clinical or rigid. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT), Schema Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Treatment often focuses on emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, trauma processing, and identifying and changing long-standing maladaptive patterns.

    I emphasize clear treatment planning, consistent structure, and collaboration, while tailoring care to each client’s developmental stage, readiness, and individual goals.

    What I Offer as a Supervisor

    As a supervisor, I bring particular strength in supporting clinicians who work with high-acuity and complex populations. I provide guidance in treating trauma, eating disorders, and personality disorders within an outpatient setting, with strong emphasis on risk assessment, boundaries, documentation, and scope of practice.

    I am especially well-suited to supervise interns and early-career clinicians who want to build confidence working with emotionally intense presentations, learn to apply structured treatment models in real-world practice, and develop sound clinical judgment. Supervision focuses not only on interventions, but on case conceptualization, treatment planning, ethical decision-making, and therapist self-awareness.

    My goal in supervision is to help clinicians feel grounded, competent, and supported while doing challenging work—so they can provide effective care without burning out.

  • Supervisees are expected to:

    • Arrive to supervision sessions prepared, on time, and ready to engage thoughtfully
    • Bring cases, questions, and reflections to supervision rather than relying solely on directive guidance
    • Practice within their current scope of training and licensure at all times
    • Seek consultation promptly when encountering ethical concerns, risk issues, or clinical uncertainty
    • Complete documentation accurately, timely, and in accordance with professional and regulatory standards (within 48 hours)
    • Be open to feedback, self-reflection, and clinical growth, including addressing areas for improvement
    • Maintain appropriate professional boundaries with clients, colleagues, and supervisors
    • Communicate openly and respectfully regarding challenges, workload, scheduling, or concerns
    • Adhere to all applicable Florida Board requirements, school requirements (if applicable), and practice policies
    • Conduct all telehealth sessions and supervision activities from private, secure locations to ensure client confidentiality and HIPAA compliance
    • Use only approved, secure technology platforms and safeguard all protected health information (PHI) from unauthorized access, including ensuring no individuals can overhear or view sessions

    Supervision is intended to be a space for learning, development, and accountability. While mistakes are expected as part of growth, honesty, responsibility, and a willingness to learn are essential. The goal of supervision is to support supervisees in developing sound clinical judgment, ethical decision-making, and a sustainable professional identity within an ethical, compliant telehealth practice.

  • Registered Intern Supervision
    Supervision for Registered Clinical Social Work Interns is offered at a rate of $100 per supervision hour. This includes structured, individualized supervision focused on clinical development, ethical practice, and professional growth.

    Registered interns who are employed by Therapy by the Bay receive supervision at no cost as part of their role within the practice.

    Student Intern Supervision
    Supervision for graduate-level student interns is provided at no cost. Student internship positions are unpaid, and availability is limited due to the level of training, oversight, and support required. Placement decisions are made thoughtfully to ensure a high-quality learning experience for both the intern and the practice.

    All supervision is provided in accordance with Florida board requirements and emphasizes supportive, intentional development at each stage of training.
