Clinical Supervision for LPC Associates
Kevin Dao, LPC, MD, Supervisor Candidate
Whether you are just starting out or already have clinical experience, finding the right fit for supervision is important. Through a developmental and integrative approach to supervision, my goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative environment where you can develop your own therapeutic style, strengthen your clinical skills, and find your voice as a therapist.
As a practicing clinician, I recognize that growth is an ongoing part of our work. Supervision is not only an opportunity to discuss cases and clinical concerns, but also a space to reflect, explore new ideas, recognize strengths, and identify areas for continued development. I value autonomy, empathy, curiosity, and open dialogue, and I strive to create an environment where supervisees feel comfortable asking questions and engaging in thoughtful discussion.
My clinical practice incorporates several evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed care. As both an MD and an LPC, I bring experience from medical and mental healthcare settings, with a current clinical focus on trauma and mood disorders. This background allows me to bring a broad perspective to supervision while remaining attentive to each supervisee's individual goals, experiences, and clinical approach.
As a supervisor, I invite you to explore both your strengths and the areas where you would like to grow. Supervision will be paced according to your needs while remaining grounded in ethical, professional, and regulatory standards. My goal is to provide a thoughtful and supportive space where you can develop greater confidence, deepen your clinical skills, and ultimately become the therapist you want to be.
Jonathan Willden, LPC, Supervisor Candidate
My goal as a supervisor is to help you tap back into your natural, intuitive talents for holding space for people in need. I use the Counselor Lifespan Developmental Model, which enables me to understand where you are as a counselor at this point in your career and the unique challenges you may be facing.
My goal is to establish mutual trust and respect, so together we can better serve people in need of great counseling. Being an associate was overwhelming and, at times, an insecure place in my development as a counselor.
Together we will build your confidence, concrete skills, interventions for clients, and support continuous learning and growth.
I enjoy a variety of therapeutic approaches: ACT, Holism, Liberation Psychology, Trauma-informed, Motivational Interviewing, Strength-based. I am also IFS-informed.
I specialize in treating people with CPTSD, ADHD, Religious trauma, and technology-based behavioral addictions.
