Clinical Supervision

Are You Ready To Invest In Yourself And Your Practice? I’ve helped many therapists, and I can help you too.

As an MFT for over 20 years, I’ve both had and given supervision, and I still deeply appreciate the benefit quality supervision gives. I’m a firm believer that all therapists should continue with supervision throughout the span of their careers, as a way to get feedback and support and provide the best possible therapy to our clients. All of the therapists who work for me engage in clinical supervision on a regular basis, to ensure that a team of therapists is at the ready to provide the most effective help we can. I myself still participate in monthly supervision, and I continue to receive much benefit from it.

As both an AAMFT-Approved and State of Maryland Approved Licensed Clinical Marriage and Family Therapy Supervisor, I can provide you with the supervision you need for licensure in a supportive and growth-oriented environment. If you’re already a licensed therapist looking for an experienced and supportive supervisor, contact me. Though space is limited, I’m happy to speak with you to see if we can be a good fit for your supervision needs.

I chose you for 2 reasons: you came personally recommended by a friend, and you were listed somewhere as the only Maryland therapist with specialized knowledge about marital infidelity. I stayed with you because you're a rock star, obviously. :) I always felt like you were very in tune with my perspective, which I think most decent therapists can manage. The difference with you is that I trusted you to be honest - not just validating. I wasn't looking for someone to tell me I was normal. That would have felt patronizing to me. I was looking for someone to help me grow, and to help me figure out my version of truth. And I am forever grateful that you helped me along that path. Marital trauma is just devastating. But I'm somehow even more "me" now than I was before.

You made both of us feel heard, validated, and understood. We were able to talk through issues that were too difficult to talk through alone. You were adept at keeping the conversation flowing, pivoting when issues became sticking points or too emotionally overwhelming. Also, you are so very likable; a skilled and objective counselor, but as easy to speak to as a kind and understanding friend.

I was recommended by a friend’s family years ago, and I’ve stayed with you because you help me! And adjust your strategies to what I need as I grow older in this life...so glad you're still so young you are stuck with me for a long time! I appreciate your flexibility with time too - particularly your willingness to do phone sessions.

You have an amazing capacity for remembering information over the whole spectrum of conversations and sharing unique insights based on everything you know about me. I feel like you bring fresh insights to helping solve my problems and share real opinions rather than bounce back my own words. You help give me structure and potential solutions to what feels like lots of spinning wheels in my head. I feel more positive and focused with a potential blueprint for solving my problems after each session...I imagine myself visiting you on occasion for many years to come.

Ms. Fay was a wonderful assistance to me as I negotiated a difficult time in my life. She was highly professional in every way; that professionalism came through during each session, and made the transition better for all involved. I would recommend her repeatedly and would definitely use her service again!

I am very lucky to have found someone that I feel so comfortable with from the beginning and it makes all our heart-wrenching moments a little more tolerable.

I cannot express how thankful I am that we found you…I really have no idea how a counselor actually works or the methodology involved, but I do know that you are great at what you do. I know because every move – every question, every metaphor, every prod – felt exactly right to me. Thank you!

Laurel has helped our ‘Brady Bunch’-type family get through some rough times over the years. She has counseled us each individually and together. We highly recommend her for resolving any type of family issues you may have.
