DESCRIPTION: Case presentations are one of the most common tools used by clinical supervisors to gain necessary insights into how their supervisees are conceptualizing the scope and nature of the problems or concerns the clients of their supervisees are bringing into counseling or psychotherapy. Although case presentations are an efficient and even necessary means of acquiring this information, they rely on accurate self-reporting, which is often a skill in the early stages of development among many early practitioners who are still in school or have recently graduated. 

Additionally, cognitive biases such as the Dunning-Kruger Effect (the tendency for people with limited competence to overestimate their skills/abilities) and the Self-Serving Bias (the tendency to attribute positive outcomes to one’s own efforts and negative outcomes to external factors), can further impede the probability of clinical supervisors gaining accurate information from their supervisees. Because both supervisors and supervisees have a lot to lose, not to mention the clients and communities they serve, effective clinical supervisors don’t over-rely on narrative case presentations as the sole form of data gathering to evaluate the clinical cases of their supervisees, especially early in the supervisory relationship. 

Instead, effective supervisors employ a mix of techniques that utilize direct observation and/or experientially or process-based simulation to help corroborate the data presented in narrative case presentations alongside the data revealed in direct observation or simulations. Unfortunately, many clinical supervisors lack easy access to direct observation methods, such as one-way mirrors, co-therapy, live sessions, and video recordings. In light of this, they would be wise to enlist some experientially based simulation strategies, such as role-plays, role-reversals, and live demonstrations; however, they frequently lack experience and/or confidence in using them as a tool to evaluate their supervisee’s case conceptualization and clinical practice skills. 

This mini-course is designed specifically for clinical supervisors who want to gain a deeper understanding of and enhance their skills in using experiential supervisory tools to mitigate some of the problems associated with overuse of narrative self-reporting by becoming more comfortable with direct observational strategies. Registration for this course is complimentary and open to all mental health practitioners.

DESCRIPTION: In many jurisdictions, the only legal requirement for providing clinical supervision is having an active mental health license. Although having a keen set of administrative and counseling skills is an essential aspect of clinical supervision, they are not enough on their own. Clinical supervision is a specialized area within the mental health professions that has its own distinct theories, practices, and models; therefore, high-quality clinical supervisors need to understand and apply these effectively. As more states recognize this necessity, the trend of establishing a two-tiered licensure system that first solely permits professional practice within one’s discipline and then only allows for the advanced practice of clinical supervision after additional requirements have been met is becoming more common.

The Colorado State Board of LPC Examiners moved in this direction in 2020, when they mandated that any LPC licensed by the board providing clinical supervision to LPC candidates needed to complete one of four possible training requirements: (1) complete a minimum of a two-credit-hour graduate course on clinical supervision from a CACREP accredited or equivalent program; (2) complete a minimum of six clock-hours of clinical supervision training in specified content areas; (3) attain Approved Clinical Supervisor™ (ACS) certification from the Center for Credentialing and Education (CCE); or (4) attain a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision from a CACREP accredited or equivalent program or other counseling doctorates that have a supervision component.

This course meets the second option by providing six clock-hours of clinical supervision training in the seven specified content areas, specifically: (a) the role and functions of clinical supervisors; (b) models and methods of clinical supervision; (c) supervisory relationship issues; (d) cultural issues and themes in clinical supervision; (e) group supervision; (f) legal and ethical issues in clinical supervision; and (g) evaluation of supervisee competency and the supervision process. Registration for this course is complimentary and open to all mental health practitioners.

NOTE: This training meets the Colorado State Board of LPC Examiners mandated training requirement for LPC supervisors; It does NOT meet training requirements for the Approved Clinical Supervisor™ (ACS), Certified Addiction Specialist (CAS), or Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) credentials; Licensure candidates and licensed practitioners from other mental health disciplines are welcome to attend, both in or out of Colorado; To learn more about our Clinical Supervision classes for the CAS/LAC, click HERE; To learn more about our Clinical Supervision training series for the ACS, click HERE.

Practice Endorsement and Certification Program - General Information

The Noeticus Center for Professional Development™ (NCPD) at Noeticus Counseling Center and Training Institute® offers a variety of Practice Endorsements (PEs) and Certification Programs (CPs) to mental health professionals and those in related disciplines seeking to deepen their focus in one particular area of practice beyond a singular course. Practice Endorsements are usually either 45.0 or 90.0 contact hours in length and typically are comprised of three, 15-hour classes, though in some cases other combinations are used to total that amount of time. 

Practice Endorsements offer course participants the experience of engaging in a mini-sequenced course of study with a learning cohort of like-minded professionals committed to taking the next step in their professional development. The curriculum for each of the endorsements has been carefully and coherently assembled based on thematic similarities in their content and/or application areas. Additionally, the material is shared in a way that reflects contemporary practices in adult learning theory - including both didactic and experiential learning along with ample opportunities for immediate application and building strong and lasting connections with other training participants that extend well beyond the courses themselves. IMPORTANT: Registration for a Professional Endorsement offers open enrollment to any participant, whether through individual courses or full packages.

By contrast, Certification Programs (CPs) require additional components beyond the associated courses, typically including such things as outside practice sessions, clinical consultation/supervision, skills demonstration, and/or a final certification project. In some instances, Practice Endorsements can be applied to partially fulfill the educational requirements for a Certification Program. Certification Programs are more intensive and integrative than Practice Endorsements and thus require more focus and commitment to complete, usually ranging from 100.0 to 150.0 contact hours each. IMPORTANT: Registration for a Certification Program is through application and approval only, thus open enrollment is not possible. Completion of partial credit through a Practice Endorsement does not guarantee placement in a Certification Program, therefore we encourage those interested in going through a Certification Program to apply early. For more information, please visit the prospective Certification Program website or contact us at training@noeticus.org.

Practice Endorsement and Certification Program - Registration Policies

When course participants register for one of our packages, we try to place them in the first class or training that is part of that series. This helps ensure that all prerequisites are met and also maximizes the possibility of meeting and developing connections with other members of the learning cohort. In some cases, this is not possible due to scheduling conflicts, emergencies, under-enrollment, and other unexpected events. In such cases, we work individually with course participants to transfer them to the next available course or develop an alternative learning plan if necessary. Thus it is important to recognize that registration for an individual course or a particular course package does not guarantee specific placement.

Practice Endorsements and Certification Programs are built into our annual calendar of classes and trainings. Some of them are offered four times a year on a quarterly basis, others are offered twice a year on a semi-annual basis, while others are only offered once a year on an annual basis. Classes and trainings that are part of a Practice Endorsement or Certification Program can be purchased separately or as part of a class or training package. If a package registration is selected, a 20% discount will be automatically deducted from any of the standard registration categories (general, group, military/veteran, student) at the time of purchase. Class and training packages are non-refundable, non-transferable to another person, and be completed within 12 months of the date of purchase (unless other arrangements are made). Packages cannot be retroactively purchased once sales of individual classes or trainings have been completed, so be sure to select accordingly.

Practice Endorsement and Certification Program - Final Conferral

For both Practice Endorsements and Certification Programs, each course participant must submit an application to receive the final endorsement or certification once all requirements have been fulfilled as this is not automatic. The application can be downloaded HERE 

DESCRIPTION: In Colorado (and many other states), the only legal requirement to provide clinical supervision is having an active mental health license. Because of that, many mental health practitioners become clinical supervisors immediately upon receiving their licenses without having any additional training in the specialized counseling practice of clinical supervision. Functionally, this often translates into new supervisors using counseling skills to work with new supervisees instead of supervision skills, a scenario that isn't always very effective or even helpful. As an antidote to this serious problem within all of the mental health professions, the Center for Credentialing and Education (CCE); An affiliate of the National Board for Certified Counselors [NBCC]) developed the voluntary Approved Clinical Supervisor™ (ACS™) credential. This training is the first part of a three-part series covering the theory and practice of clinical supervision, all of which (when taken together) meet the training requirements for the ACS™ through the CCE. During our Clinical Supervision I training, participants learn the theoretical foundations. During our Clinical Supervision II training, participants build upon their theoretical foundations and add to them practical skills. Finally, during our Clinical Supervision III training, participants integrate the principles and theory they learned in Clinical Supervision I with the advanced concepts and skills taught in Clinical Supervision II and apply them in an experiential format. NOTE: This training can be taken independently, as an educational requirement for ACS™ Certification through the CCE, and also as part of the Noeticus Intentional Clinical Supervision - Professional Endorsement™ (NICS-PE) and/or the more comprehensive Noeticus Intentional Clinical Supervision - Certification Program™ (NICS-CP); Save 20% by purchasing the complete NICS-PE Course Package.

DESCRIPTION: Current approaches to psychotherapy practice tend to emphasize the importance of modality or technique in achieving desired client outcomes. Mental health practitioners are typically concerned with "what" to do in order to support their clients in achieving their therapeutic goals. This view is supported by clinical supervisors who often over-focus on strengthening clinician skills through listening to narrative self-reporting by the practitioner followed by offering counsel or guidance as the key to improving client outcomes. The research on client outcomes tells a different story though. Indeed, reaching consistent and robust client outcomes is more a function of "how" the mental health practitioner interacts with the client rather than what types of skills or interventions are used. For instance, the research on common factors that lead to significant change across all behavioral health modalities indicates that relational factors between the practitioner and client have an average impact of about 30% whereas clinician modality or technique only accounts for about 15% of the change - the same amount of change accounted for by hope, expectancy, and other placebo-like variables. The greatest amount of change, at about 40%, is attributed to factors occurring in the client's life outside of the therapeutic relationship. With that in mind, it seems clear that both clinicians and their supervisors will have the greatest impact on positive client outcomes by attending first to relational factors that solidify engagement between practitioner and client followed by a focus on clinician competency development. This is where Feedback-Informed Treatment (FIT) and Deliberate Practice (DP) become important components of treatment. FIT is an evidence-based approach to evaluating and improving the quality and effectiveness of the therapeutic relationship developed by psychologist, Scott D. Miller, PhD. FIT tracks both the overall results of the therapeutic work across sessions along with the quality of the therapeutic relationship within each session so that modifications can be made early and more easily. Deliberate Practice is an approach to skill mastery that relies on practicing at the edge of one's ability using regular and active feedback spaced across time to achieve mastery. Used together, they help practitioners, managers, and supervisors better tailor services to fit the needs of clients and thus improve their therapeutic outcomes. NOTE: This training can be taken independently and is also part of the Noeticus Administrative and Business Effectiveness - Practice Endorsement™ (NABE-PE) and/or the more comprehensive Noeticus Counselor Training and Practice - Certification Program (NCTP-CP); Save an additional 20% by purchasing the complete NABE-PE Course Package.

DESCRIPTION: Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a client‐centered collaborative style of conversation designed to strengthen a person’s motivation for and commitment to change. MI is counselor‐guided in that the counselor is skilled at managing ambivalence, eliciting change‐talk, and honoring the client’s autonomy about taking the next step toward a commonly agreed-upon goal” (Miller & Rollnick, 2010). Over 385 studies to date have demonstrated the effectiveness of the model at increasing client engagement, retention, compliance, and improving treatment outcomes. The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) has identified MI as a best practice within the addiction treatment field. The CAC Clinical Training Program at the Colorado Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) is committed to a process of integrating the Motivational Interviewing style, spirit, and strategies into all levels of training and to supporting clinical supervision of motivational interviewing as a counseling style. Additionally, this and all addiction counselor classes seek to enhance the ability of the counselor to offer treatment services in a manner that respects gender, race and ethnicity, sexual orientation, cultural, familial, systemic, and socioeconomic diversity. NOTE: This class can be taken independently, as a required course for CAT/CAS/LAC credentialing, and also as part of the Noeticus Addiction and Recovery Therapy: Level 2 - Practice Endorsement™ (NART-PE-2) and/or the more comprehensive Noeticus Addiction Recovery Therapy - Certification Program™ (NART-CP); Save an additional 20% by purchasing the complete NART-PE-2 Course Package.
