The clinical supervisor is responsible for providing clinical supervision to each supervisee assigned, as it relates to substance use disorders, mental health disorders, and co-occurring disorders. Clinical supervision is a disciplined, tutorial process wherein principles are transformed into practical skills, within four overlapping areas of focus: administrative, evaluative, clinical, and supportive.

  • Administrative: planning, organizing, coordinating, and delegating task; selecting and assisting staff; and determining clinical and administrative privileges.
  • Evaluative: goal setting: formulating realistic, measurable objectives that make performance review possible; and feedback: providing clear, constructive, humane communication concerning the degree to which goals have been attained.
  • Clinical: developing counseling knowledge and skills, identifying learning issues and problems, determining counselor strengths and weaknesses, and transmitting knowledge for practical use
