What Sets This Course Apart
At WisePractice, we believe that effective training should be dynamic, engaging, and grounded in the real-world experiences of clinical work.
Our course is:
✔ Evidence-Based
Rooted in current research and best practices across multiple licensures and supervision models.
✔ Multi-Modal for Real Learning
Designed for all types of learners—whether you learn best by reading, watching, listening, reflecting, or doing. We incorporate a variety of formats, including video modules, reading materials, self-reflection exercises, downloadable tools, and case-based learning.
✔ Relational & Reflective
We don’t just teach theory—we create space for personal insight, exploration of professional identity, and the complex dynamics of supervisory relationships.
✔ Practical & Action-Oriented
You'll leave with ready-to-use tools: templates for supervision contracts and logs, feedback and evaluation methods, remediation strategies, and more.
✔ Inclusive & Culturally Responsive
From power and privilege in supervisory relationships to supporting neurodivergent clinicians, we approach supervision with humility and a commitment to cultural responsiveness.
Every enrollment includes our Supervisor’s Companion Workbook — a comprehensive guide designed to support you throughout the course and long after. Accessible digitally, it’s a resource you’ll return to again and again as you grow in your role as a supervisor.

Through engaging presentations, demonstrations, podcast-style discussions, and our comprehensive workbook, you’ll build a supervision practice that is ethical, relational, and sustainable.

Created by Clinicians, For Clinicians
This course was developed by DeLinda Spain, LCSW-S, CGP, and Chelsea Fielder-Jenks, LPC-S, CEDS-C, PMH-C — two seasoned supervisors and educators who remember what it was like to be in your shoes — and who care deeply about shaping the next generation of supervision in our field.

We’re honored to support you in doing it wisely, intentionally, and with heart.
