Supervision is one of the most impactful — and often most misunderstood — roles in our profession. It’s not just about oversight. It’s about growth, ethics, power, and relationships. Whether you’re an LPC, LMFT, or LCSW in Texas considering becoming a board-approved supervisor, or you’ve been supervising for years but feel like you could use renewed clarity and support, here’s the truth: supervision shapes the future of our field. And that’s exactly why we created the WisePractice Institute 40-Hour Clinical Supervision Training.

Whether you're an experienced LPC, LMFT, or LCSW — or you're planning ahead in your clinical journey — supervision is one of the most meaningful (and ethically significant) ways to shape the future of the mental health field.
