Supportive, Integrative Supervision with Venus Rouhani, LMFT-S, LPC-S
Choosing a clinical supervisor involves more than finding someone who can document your required hours. A strong supervisory relationship can help you develop sound clinical judgment, strengthen your therapeutic skills, work through ethical and professional questions, and become more confident in your identity as a therapist.
I approach supervision as a mentor, consultant, guide, and supportive professional colleague, while maintaining the accountability required for ethical clinical practice. I adapt supervision to your experience, work setting, professional goals, and the areas in which you’d like to grow.
Individual and Group Supervision Online Across Texas
I offer supervision online to LMFT Associates and LPC Associates throughout Texas, in both individual and group formats.
In individual supervision, I give you focused time to examine your clinical cases, ethical concerns, professional development needs, and questions specific to your work setting and licensure path.
In group supervision, I help you learn from a range of cases and professional perspectives, explore clinical areas you may not encounter in your own work, and build relationships with other emerging therapists. Group supervision can also help you feel less isolated as you build your career.
What You Can Expect from Supervision
Depending on your professional needs and stage of development, I can help with:
- Clinical Case Consultation: I’ll help you review challenging cases, consider treatment direction, strengthen case conceptualization, and expand your range of therapeutic interventions.
- Ethical and Professional Decision-Making: I’ll help you explore confidentiality, boundaries, documentation, consultation, scope of practice, and other ethical or professional questions that arise in clinical work.
- Confidence and Professional Identity: I’ll help you develop your individual therapeutic style, identify your strengths, respond constructively to feedback, and build confidence in your clinical judgment.
- Career and Practice Development: I’ll help you think through practical aspects of professional growth, including working in different clinical settings, building referral relationships, and preparing for the responsibilities of independent practice.
Areas of Clinical Experience
 I bring experience in several areas that may be especially useful to associates developing their clinical interests and competencies:
- Marriage, couples, and family therapy
- Individual therapy
- Multicultural and cross-cultural concerns
- Addiction and recovery-related concerns
- Communication and relationship difficulties
- Professional practice development
Understanding Texas Associate Supervision Requirements
Texas requires LMFT Associates and LPC Associates to complete supervised professional experience before becoming eligible to apply for independent licensure. Although both paths require 3,000 supervised hours, the minimum time periods, direct-service requirements, and supervision requirements differ. Associates should review the current requirements of the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council and discuss their individual circumstances with their supervisor.
LPC Associate Requirements
Texas LPC Associates must complete at least 3,000 hours of supervised experience over a minimum of 18 months. At least 1,500 hours must involve direct counseling services, and associates must receive the required ongoing supervision during their supervised experience.
LMFT Associate Requirements
Texas LMFT Associates must complete at least two years and 3,000 hours of supervised clinical experience. At least 1,500 hours must involve direct clinical services, including at least 500 hours providing direct clinical services to couples or families. Current rules also specify minimum supervision requirements during the associate period.
Licensing requirements can change
Associates are responsible for confirming current requirements directly with the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council .
Why Work with a Dual LMFT and LPC Supervisor?
As both an LMFT-S and LPC-S, I understand the professional development needs of associates following either Texas licensure path. My experience with individual, couples, and family therapy allows me to help you consider both the individual client and the broader relational systems that may influence a case.
This integrative perspective can be especially valuable if you want to develop confidence working with individuals while also strengthening your understanding of couples, families, relationships, culture, and life context.
