Supervision as a Relational and Healing Space: Moving Beyond Oversight
Supervision as a Relational and Healing Space: Moving Beyond Oversight
In this course, Dr. Tina Fitts explains how clinical supervision can evolve beyond oversight, evaluation, and gatekeeping to become a relational, reflective, and healing space that supports supervisee wellbeing, professional identity development, resilience, and clinical effectiveness. Drawing from supervision practice, mindfulness-informed principles, and relational approaches, she explores how supervisors can foster psychological safety, attunement, cultural humility, and meaningful professional growth.
About this course
In this course, educator, clinician, and mental health leader Dr. Tina Fitts, EdD, LMHC, NCC, introduces a relational and healing-centred perspective on clinical supervision. She challenges traditional supervision models that focus primarily on evaluation, competency assessment, and gatekeeping, and instead explores supervision as a corrective relational experience capable of supporting emotional regulation, reflective capacity, resilience, and professional identity formation. Through practical examples and reflective strategies, you learn how to cultivate presence, attunement, cultural humility, and psychological safety within supervisory relationships. The course offers clinically relevant approaches for addressing imposter syndrome, compassion fatigue, secondary trauma, and supervisee development while maintaining ethical and professional standards.
