How it Works

Yes, of course! Our development of Seeking Supervision had you in mind. We understand that hospital settings and other sectors of employment do not always afford the opportunity to obtain sound supervision, yet there is a desire to advance professionally. This is the perfect platform for you!

Yes, we have developed a specific process in alignment with the in the state of Ohio CSWMFT Board where those obtaining clinical licensure can begin their supervision process. All you have to do is seek out the Supervisors with "Volunteer" highlighted on their profile and begin your journey toward independence!

Timely access to mental health care is critical, especially considering that over 537,000 Ohioans were unable to access timely mental health care in 2022 alone. By shortening supervision time frames, Seeking Supervision addresses this gap and aims to provide faster access to care for those in need.

Currently, only 1% of mental health professionals are Black, leading to inadequate representation within BIPOC communities exacerbating symptoms due to increased mistrust within care. Seeking Supervision seeks to address this disparity by facilitating quicker licensure processes, thereby increasing the presence of BIPOC mental health professionals in the community.

Seeking Supervision offers a cost-effective solution to the financial burden associated with traditional supervision models. While supervision can indeed be expensive, our platform provides an affordable alternative that not only supports mental health professionals financially but also offers numerous benefits worth the investment.

Firstly, by subscribing to Seeking Supervision, you gain access to a comprehensive platform that streamlines the supervision process, saving you both time and money. Our subscription fee of $9.99 per month for supervisees is a fraction of the cost compared to traditional supervision arrangements, allowing you to allocate your resources more efficiently.

Moreover, Seeking Supervision fosters a supportive community where mental health professionals can access guidance, resources, and networking opportunities, enhancing both personal and professional growth. Our platform facilitates meaningful connections with experienced supervisors, opening doors to mentorship and career advancement.

Additionally, Seeking Supervision's business model ensures fair compensation for supervisors, who earn 15% of service fees, promoting a sustainable ecosystem where everyone benefits. By investing in our service, you not only receive quality supervision but also contribute to the overall advancement and accessibility of mental health care.

Overall, Seeking Supervision prioritizes fairness and transparency in our pricing model to ensure that mental health professionals are not subjected to price gouging. Supervisors on our platform have the autonomy to set their rates, but these rates are capped by the platform to prevent excessive fees. This measure not only protects supervisees from financial exploitation but also fosters a collaborative environment where supervisors are incentivized to offer competitive rates while maintaining the quality of their services. By implementing these safeguards, Seeking Supervision promotes ethical business practices and ensures that supervision remains accessible and equitable for all mental health professionals.

In essence, paying for Seeking Supervision is an investment in your career and the well-being of your clients. With our affordable pricing, comprehensive support, and commitment to professional development, we empower mental health professionals to thrive in their practice while making a positive impact on the communities they serve.

Here at Seeking Supervision we understand that equality and equity are of importance when it comes to access. While we do everything to ensure equality of access through affordable memberships and monitored supervisor pricing, we understand this may not be equitable to some.

As a result, Seeking Supervision offers hardship scholarships through donations and a portion of the monetary proceeds received through memberships and fees to support mental health clinicians, aiming to alleviate financial burdens associated with licensure and supervision. This initiative reflects its commitment to eliminating barriers to mental health by fostering inclusivity and accessibility through supervision.

While many are licensed, we do believe that not all supervisors are created equal! Our supervisors will be vetted to ensure they have maintained the appropriate ethical and moral practices governed by the licensure board. We will monitor to ensure those licensed maintain their supervisory status.

Additionally, we provide a platform where supervisors only can effectively oversee up to 8 supervisees at a time, ensuring that each individual receives personalized guidance and support. This model promotes ethical practice and professional development among mental health providers.

With mental health clinicians ethically supporting 20 to 25 clients a week, Seeking Supervision's streamlined supervision process equates to providing access to mental health care for approximately 1.8 million Ohioans, addressing a significant need within the community.

Yes, once you have met all of the state qualifications for independent licensure with supervisory status you can transition your platform to a supervisor and begin to support the next generation of providers while making residual income!

Seeking Supervision has direct access to over 72,000 professionals in the state of Ohio through the licensing board, indicating its expansive reach and potential impact on mental health care accessibility within the region. And with the impending Social Work and Counselor Compacts will eventually provide an even greater increase in access to supervisors.
