Increasing Cultural Awareness in Counseling Supervision

  • The supervision experience is an integral part in counselor identity development. It is our responsibility as counselor educators and supervisors, to provide counselors in training with a supervision experience that adheres to legal and ethical codes, explores, and honors cultural diversity, and provides a safe space for learning and reflection. Participants will gain an overview of a culturally conscious supervision practices and the dynamic created from the perspectives of both the supervisor and the supervisee.

Narrative Supervision: Creating a team or an audience

  • Creating a team or an audience is based on the concept of polyvocality, wherein we carry the voices of others internally. From this process the supervisee begins to rely on the knowledge that he or she has inside and begin to use it in session. Questions such as: Whose voice do you hear? Who do you model yourself after? What would you want to keep? What would you want to get rid of? Who would you want on your team? What do they bring to your team? What do they tell you? The video begins after the supervisee has shared a recent experience. The supervisor asks about the team in helping Caroline (the supervisee) make a shift in a recent counseling session. He then asks about the team in her larger professional story.

Narrative Supervision: Interview the supervisor

  • New counselors often look to their supervisor for guidance on how to deal with a situation. Rather than giving information upon request (thus perpetuating a disproportional relationship), the supervisee can interview the supervisor about his or her experiences. This allows the supervisee to decide which questions to ask the supervisor and what insights will be used. Thus, the supervisee is put into a position of power and shared role of expert. This also reinforces how there are many different views and approaches to any one thing. The supervisor is just one perspective (as emphasized by the interview), which leads to the question, what other sources are out there that might be beneficial? The video starts as Caroline finishes telling about a concern, she is having working with a client. Travis offers to be interviewed (the content of which is eliminated due to time).

Narrative Supervision: Titling one’s professional story

  • By engaging supervisees in narrating their role as counselor, supervisees examine their preferred story of themselves. The title pulls together different aspects of themselves from their personal and professional life that contribute to who they are and who they want to become. It allows supervisees to locate themselves temporarily and see the larger picture of their development. The supervisee can revisit this story title as a source of strength and guidance. Questions such as: What would your title be as a counselor? What are the themes of your counseling story? How do these themes impact your role as counselor? What would you want your counselor story to be? If there were an article about you in Counseling Today—what would it be called?
