Stop Supervising Alone: Why Isolation Is Holding Your Clinicians Back

About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of group supervision and connection in developing confident clinicians.

Supervision isn’t just about cases—it’s about people. And people don’t grow in isolation. In Episode 56 of Supervision Simplified, Dr. Amy Parks is joined by grief counselor, educator, and supervisor Debi Jenkins Frankle to explore why supervising alone may be limiting your clinicians more than helping them. Debi shares her approach to group supervision, including how connection, support, and real-time feedback shape confident, capable clinicians. From starting supervision with “how’s your heart and soul” to creating environments where clinicians can learn from each other, this conversation reframes supervision as a developmental process—not just a requirement. If you’re a clinical supervisor, practice owner, or stepping into leadership, this episode will challenge your current model and give you a more effective path forward.
