Finding the right supervisor helps set the trajectory for your career. Some of my values as a supervisor are:

  • Guiding others in professional practices to prevent burnout

  • Giving clear, straightforward, and considerate feedback

  • Sharing/teaching while encouraging each therapist’s unique voice

  • Being curious about you and your needs

  • Being curious and a student of others’ culture and context in which they live.

  • Emboldening new counselors to find joy and a passion in serving others well.

Got Career Questions?

  • Yes! We currently have an opening for both a play therapist and adult/couples therapist. See the links for more info and application!

  • Currently, I offer supervision and consultation on Mondays and Fridays. Hours may vary on these days. I also have limited availability on Wednesday mornings. If you know you need a specific time apart from these, I will not be a good fit for you at this time.

    • Peer/Group supervision is $75 per hour.

    • Individual supervision is $100 per hour. 

    • Consultation is $35 per 30mins and $70 per hour.

  • Short answer- It depends on your needs, either RPT or LPC. Long answer-If you are pursuing your Registered Play Therapistcredential, YES! This is a national certification and we can utilize virtual meetings together. If you are pursing your LPC state licensure outside of MS, NO. Heather is allowed to supervise individuals working towards their LPC state licensure for Mississippi ONLY.  Also, due to state boards having different requirements, reaching out to a supervisor in your state would be more beneficial for you regarding the licensure process. However, if you are moving to this area from out of state, finding a supervisor in MS will be one of the top priorities in your licensure process. The best bang for your buck is if you are pursuing MS licensure ANDthe Registered Play Therapy credential. Our hours will count for both of these! If you are out of state, already have a great supervisor, and simply need quick support regarding one of my specialty areas, I’d be a good fit for a consult!

  • To start the process, please reach out to Heather via email. It’s important for a supervisor and supervisee to have a secure join (a little like with our clients) – I’m sure you are aware how our work suffers without it! After reaching out, expect to receive a link to some initial documentation. This information will help us determine if this commitment would be a good fit for us both moving forward. After completion of documentation, please expect a follow up response from me within 72 hours.
