Clinical Supervision & Consultation for Therapists
You don't have to navigate the work of being a therapist alone.
Whether you're deepening your clinical skills, working through a complex case, incorporating Internal Family Systems into your practice, or figuring out what it means to run a private practice, supervision and consultation can give you a place to think, reflect, and grow.
Gibson & Associates offers clinical supervision and consultation for social workers, psychotherapists, counsellors, and other mental health professionals, with individual and group options available.

Clinical Supervision
Clinical supervision provides space to reflect on your practice, strengthen your clinical skills, and receive guidance as you navigate your work with clients.
1:1 Supervision
Individual supervision offers dedicated time to focus on your clinical work, learning goals, and professional development.

Group Supervision
A small circle of clinicians learning alongside each other. Hear how others hold the work, and find out you're not the only one asking.
Specialized Consultation
Sometimes you're not looking for traditional supervision. You have a specific area of practice you want to explore, a modality you're developing, or questions that need a more focused conversation.Our specialized consultation offerings create space for that work.
IFS Consultation
Consultation is a space to practice with another clinician, talk through edge points in your learning, and do your own inner work around what comes up for you as you practice IFS. Whether you're looking for solo or group consultation, we'd love to be your landing place.
Founder & Clinician Supervision
If you're a social worker, psychotherapist, or counsellor building your own private practice, you already know the split. In one hour you're sitting with a client's material, thinking about modality and intervention and what's happening in the room. In the next, you're thinking about intake numbers, referrals, or whether you're actually running your practice the way you want to.
Most supervision only makes room for one of those. This one makes room for both.
Clinician-Focused
On the clinical side, bring your cases, your areas of specialty, the modalities you use, and how you show up in the work itself, from intake to endings and everywhere in between. Explore the themes you're noticing across your caseload and your own learning edges as a clinician.
Practice Owner–Focused
On the practice owner side, bring the questions that come with that role too. How ownership interacts with being a clinician. Case examples looked at from a business owner's perspective. The reflective work of figuring out what it means to hold both roles, and what you actually want for each of them.

Meet Your Supervisor
You don't have to navigate the work of building or running a practice alone. Whether you're a therapist deepening your clinical skills, a private practice owner working through the business side of things, or someone looking for consultation on IFS-informed work, I'm here to walk alongside you.
I'm an IFSI Approved Consultant with over a decade of clinical supervision experience, and I offer both clinical supervision and business or private practice consultation. My training spans EMDR, relational approaches, mindfulness, polyvagal theory, somatic work, EFT, and Internal Family Systems. IFS is where I specialize, and it's the model I root my consultations in, though I welcome therapists working from any modality who are looking for support.
For clinicians, I offer:
- Clinical supervision, general and IFS-focused
- Consultation for IFS-trained and IFS-informed therapists working through cases, parts work, or their own growth as clinicians
- Support for therapists working across a range of modalities who want a relational, IFS-rooted lens on their clinical questions
For businesses & practice owners, I offer:
- Consultation for clinical and private practice owners navigating the business side of running a practice
- Support around the operational and leadership decisions that come with growing or sustaining a practice
I'm also a former adjunct professor of social work, and that time in the classroom shaped how much I value the relationships built through consulting, supervision, and mentorship. Whether we're working through a clinical case, a business decision, or how to bring IFS more fully into your practice, I bring both professional depth and genuine care to that work.
