The Round Table: Clinical Supervision
The Round Table isn’t just another supervision group—it’s a space designed to elevate, empower, and equip clinicians to grow into their most confident and effective selves.
Here’s what makes it the best choice for clinical supervision:
01.
Expert-Guided, Trauma-Informed Supervision
Supervision at The Round Table is facilitated by an experienced clinician with rigorous training in trauma treatment and recovery. This means your growth as a therapist is shaped by evidence-based, integrative approaches that deepen your clinical skill set.

Collaborative & Supportive Learning
Inspired by the legendary Round Table concept, supervision is a space where every voice holds value. Whether you’re new to the practice of therapy or an experienced clinician, you’ll gain fresh perspectives, constructive feedback, and leading-edge interventions in a setting built on mutual respect and shared wisdom.
