Grow your skills, gain confidence, and become the therapist you’ve always wanted to be.
Looking for a supervisor but not sure where to start?
-
Population
Consider the population you are currently working with or would like to work with. This is an important foundational element to receiving proper supervision. It is important to find a clinician who has experience working within that context!
-
Licensure
The clinician providing supervision must be licensed in the state you are currently seeking licensure in as well as approved by that licensing board to provide supervision. Ensure you are familiar with your state’s requirements. Your supervisor additionally puts effort in to stay up to date with requirements and regulations to ensure they are best meeting your needs!
-
Individual or Group
In the state of Maryland you are required to complete no less than 3 years and 3,000 total hours of supervised clinical experience. Up to 1,000 hours can be obtained via masters level practicum. Half of those hours can be group based supervision but a minimum of 50 hours are required to be individual, face to face, supervisory hours. (Maryland Board of Counseling and Therapists, 2025)
-
Personality and Approach
No clinical supervisor is created equal, all are unique and bring their unique experiences to the table to support you on your journey to becoming a therapist! Not all supervisors will be a good fit for you and that is okay. Consider your learning style, personality, and what type of person you would learn best from or click with most naturally! Also consider if stepping outside of your comfort zone might be a stepping stone toward growth for you.
“Trusting yourself as a clinician comes first.”
- Casey Frederick MA, LCPC, LCPAT, LPC, ATR-BC
My supervision approach is person-centered and grounded in the belief that confidence and self-trust are at the core of effective clinical work. I aim to create a supportive, collaborative space where you can explore your growth edges, strengthen your clinical judgment, and develop your authentic therapeutic voice. With experience across partial hospitalization, open studio art therapy, and private practice settings, I bring a well-rounded perspective to the complexities of working with adults, particularly those in military, first responder, and helping professions, as well as individuals navigating trauma. Together, we’ll integrate creativity, reflection, and curiosity to help you grow into a clinician who leads with both skill and self-assurance.

“Growth happens when we’re willing to be honest with ourselves and with each other.”
-Christlyn McCaskill MA, LCPC, LCPAT, ATR-BC
My supervision approach is direct, honest, and collaborative, rooted in the belief that meaningful growth comes from reflection paired with real, compassionate feedback. I aim to create a space that balances challenge and support, where you feel both encouraged and held accountable as you develop your clinical skills and professional identity. I believe in calling people in, inviting honest dialogue that fosters insight, confidence, and authenticity in your work. With experience in partial hospitalization, community mental health clinics, and private practice, I bring a practical and grounded perspective to supervision. My work spans teens through adults, focusing on helping clinicians strengthen their ability to connect, attune, and intervene effectively. Together, we’ll explore how to show up as your most genuine and effective self in the therapy space, because supervision isn’t just about learning; it’s about becoming.
