Clinical Supervision & Consultation for Counselors and Art Therapists In Baltimore, MD.
Virtual Services Available Throughout Maryland
Whether you are working toward licensure, board certification, or seeking consultation to strengthen your clinical practice, supervision can provide the support, reflection, and guidance needed to grow into the clinician you dreamed of becoming.
You’re not just working toward a license. You’re developing your voice as a clinician.
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!
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) Licensure requirements are subject to change. We encourage supervisees to verify current regulations directly with their licensing board.
Clinical Philosophy
Beyond credentials and experience, consider whether your supervisor's therapeutic philosophy aligns with your own professional goals. A supervisor should not only challenge your thinking but also encourage you to develop your own clinical voice rather than simply practicing like they do.
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!
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.
Growth Goals
Think about where you want to grow as a clinician. Are you hoping to strengthen your confidence, improve case conceptualization, learn trauma-informed approaches, develop your therapeutic identity, or specialize in a particular population? Finding a supervisor whose experience aligns with your goals can help you make the most of your supervision experience and support your long-term professional development.
What Happens When the Session Goes Off Script?
You can learn the theories, interventions, ethics, documentation, and diagnostic criteria. Then you sit across from an actual person, and suddenly there are a hundred things no textbook could have fully prepared you for.
Supervision is where there gets to be room for those questions, too.
“I know the theory, but I’m not always sure what to do with what’s happening in the room.”
“How do I know when to offer an art directive and when to let the session unfold?”
“My client made something that brought up a lot. Where do we go from here?”
“I tried an intervention and it completely missed the mark. Now what?”
“How do I talk about the artwork without interpreting it for my client?”
“This case is bringing something up for me, and I’m not sure what to do with that.”
“My client doesn’t want to make art. Am I still doing art therapy?”
“I planned an art directive, but the session went in a completely different direction.”
“How do I trust my clinical instincts without second-guessing everything?”
Becoming a confident clinician isn’t about getting every session “right.”

Growing Into the Clinician You Want to Be
Supervision can be more than reviewing cases and checking off hours. It can be a place to ask questions, take risks, reflect on what happens in the room, and gradually develop a way of practicing that feels grounded in both your training and who you are.
Move from constantly wondering “Am I doing this right?” toward feeling more confident making clinical decisions, adapting when sessions don't go as planned, and knowing when to slow down and ask for support.
Explore who you are as a counselor or art therapist, not simply how your professors, textbooks, or supervisors would approach the client in front of you.
Develop boundaries, notice what you're carrying outside the therapy room, and find ways to care deeply about your clients without losing yourself in the process.
Whether you’re working toward licensure or your art therapy credential, looking for the perspective of other clinicians, or already independently licensed and wanting a place to think through complex cases, we offer different ways to connect based on where you are in your career.
Professional Support That Grows With You
Supervision for growing clinicians. Consultation for the questions that keep evolving.
Clinical Consultation
Because the Questions Don’t End at Licensure
Being independently licensed doesn’t mean you stop encountering cases that make you pause. Consultation offers a collaborative space to think through complex cases, ethical questions, art therapy practice, professional challenges, or simply get another clinician’s perspective.
Best for: Independently licensed or credentialed clinicians seeking professional consultation rather than supervision toward a credential.
Individual Supervision
One-on-One Support as You Grow
Individual supervision provides dedicated space for case consultation, clinical decision-making, ethics, documentation, professional identity, countertransference, art therapy practice, and the questions that come up as you develop as a clinician.
Available for:
LGPC • LGPAT • ATR-P
Group Supervision
Learn Alongside Other Clinicians
Group supervision gives you the opportunity to bring your own questions while learning from the experiences, perspectives, and clinical challenges of other developing clinicians. It’s a space to think together, get feedback, and realize you probably aren’t the only one wondering, “What do I do with this?”
Available for:
LGPC • LGPAT • ATR-P
Meet Your Supervisors
Bring the questions. Bring the uncertainty. Bring the session that completely went off script.
The right supervisor does more than answer questions or sign off on hours. At Create & Connect, we want supervision to be a place where you can think out loud, bring the things that didn’t go as planned, challenge your assumptions, and develop greater confidence in your own clinical judgment.

“Trusting yourself as a clinician comes first.”
- Casey Frederick MA, LCPC, LCPAT, LPC, ATR-BC
My approach to supervision is person-centered, collaborative, and rooted in curiosity. I want you to have space to ask the questions you think you “should” already know, talk honestly about what isn’t working, and get curious about what’s happening with your client, within yourself, and in the therapeutic relationship.
Rather than telling you how I would handle every situation, I want to help you strengthen your clinical judgment, trust your instincts, and develop a therapeutic voice that feels like your own.
My experience across partial hospitalization, open studio art therapy, and private practice allows me to bring different perspectives to our conversations, particularly around trauma, art therapy, and working with military, first responder, helping professional, and other high-responsibility populations.

“Growth happens when we’re willing to be honest with ourselves and with each other.”
-Christlyn McCaskill MA, LCPC, LCPAT, ATR-BC
My approach to supervision is direct, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that meaningful growth requires both reflection and honest feedback. I want to create a space where you can feel supported while also being challenged to look more closely, ask harder questions, and take responsibility for your growth as a clinician.
My philosophy of “calling people in” means there’s room for conversations about the things that may be uncomfortable to bring to supervision, clinical missteps, countertransference, identity, culture, boundaries, uncertainty, and the moments when you need someone to tell you what you may not be seeing.
With experience across partial hospitalization, community mental health, and private practice, Chris brings a practical, grounded perspective to supervision with both counselors and art therapists.

Looking at the Whole Clinical Picture
Of course we’ll talk about your clients… AND supervision also gives us room to look at what’s happening around the case, your reactions, questions, clinical instincts, uncertainty, professional identity, and the things you’re still learning to navigate.
Bring the Case
The client you feel stuck with. The session that went sideways. The intervention you’re considering. The ethical question you’ve been turning over in your head.
Try Something Different
Explore interventions, art therapy directives, creative approaches, or different ways of responding when what you’ve been trying isn’t quite landing.
Make It Your Own
Take what you’re learning and integrate it into a clinical style that feels authentic to you, not simply a collection of things your supervisors have told you to do.
Notice What’s Happening
Explore countertransference, patterns in the therapeutic relationship, your own reactions, and what might be happening beneath the surface.
Think It Through
Slow down enough to conceptualize the case, consider different perspectives, connect theory to what’s actually happening, and decide what makes sense next.
Keep Growing
Supervision gives you room to keep asking questions, stretching your skills, and evolving as your clients, experiences, and clinical identity change.
You don’t have to have the answers. You need somewhere you feel comfortable asking the questions.
Serving Those Who Serve is a virtual supervision group lead by Casey Frederick for Maryland LGPCs working with first responders, service members, veterans, helping professionals, and other high-responsibility populations. Together, we make space for case consultation, clinical decision-making, countertransference, boundaries, trauma-informed care, and the complexities of supporting people who are often accustomed to being the ones others rely on.
Serving Those Who Serve
Group Supervision for Maryland LGPCs
Working with people who spend their lives responding, serving, helping, and caring for others comes with clinical questions that aren't always easy to explore in general supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Depending on your credentialing path and your supervisor’s qualifications, some supervision may be able to satisfy requirements for more than one credential. However, the Maryland Board and ATCB have their own requirements for supervision, documentation, and supervisor qualifications. We’ll talk through what you’re working toward so you can determine whether the supervision we offer aligns with your specific requirements.
-
Yes. You do not need to be employed by Create & Connect to receive outside clinical supervision from us. If your employer allows outside supervision, we can work with you alongside your employment setting. Depending on your licensure or credentialing requirements, additional documentation or coordination with your employer may be necessary.
-
You may still choose to seek outside supervision for additional perspective, specialized support, or professional development. This can be especially helpful if you’re looking for supervision specific to art therapy, trauma, or working with first responders, military-connected clients, helping professionals, and other high-responsibility populations.
If you're seeking outside supervision to count toward a particular license or credential, you'll want to make sure it meets the applicable requirements.
-
Absolutely. Licensure doesn't mean the questions stop. Consultation can provide a place to think through complex cases, ethical considerations, countertransference, art therapy practice, niche populations, or clinical situations where another perspective would be useful.
Unlike supervision toward licensure, consultation is a collegial relationship and does not involve the same evaluative or regulatory responsibilities.
-
Yes. When appropriate, art-making can become part of the supervision process, not just something we discuss in relation to your clients. Creative exploration can offer another way to approach case conceptualization, countertransference, the therapeutic relationship, professional identity, or something that feels difficult to put into words.
You don't need to arrive with an idea for what to make; art-making is one option we can draw from when it feels useful.
