    At CREST, we redefine the clinical supervision landscape. We recognize that time spent in supervision should not merely check boxes but be a purposeful utilization of resources. Our program ensures that clinicians progress to independent licensure without gaps in knowledge, skills, or confidence.

  • Benefit from a comprehensive support system that minimizes burnout risks through unlimited access to clinical consultation groups for supervisors and peer support networks for supervisees. This ensures continuous professional development, fostering a resilient and thriving community dedicated to delivering exceptional services.

  • Supervisees need continued education across a wide range of topic areas in preparation for full licensure. While education is an important component of supervision, most of the time spent in the Ideal Supervision Hour should be used for case presentation/consultation and skill building. Therefore, CREST provides the invaluable resource of regular virtual didactics programs. Supervisees participate in workshops and education programs to alongside others from across the United States. Didactics topics range from basic to advanced, refresh many topics from graduate school, and include the information necessary to practice ethically and safely.
