Supervision & Professional Development Groups
Professional development hours credit (Colorado)
Our programs meet the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) requirements for professional development for LPCs, LMFTs, and Clinical Social Workers.
DORA does not pre-approve CE providers; it is each licensee’s responsibility to choose activities that are relevant to their practice and professional growth. Certificates of completion are provided for all participants.
Group I. Advanced practice: the AGI framework for transformative therapy
Early in therapy, clients often arrive with rich stories but little movement. Sessions risk circling, stalling, or becoming symptom management. The AGI framework offers a structured way forward: assessment → goal → intervention. Each step scaffolds the next, guiding clients from intake through purposeful goals into meaningful action.
This 6-week group is designed for LPCCs and MFTCs seeking group supervision hours toward licensure, and for licensed clinicians seeking continuing professional development credit under Colorado DORA standards.
Group II. Beyond the therapist role: character of the clinician
Clinical training emphasizes what clinicians do - diagnose, intervene, manage risk. But rarely does it ask who the clinician is. This group fills that gap.
Over 12 weeks, participants step into a structured reflective process exploring qualities that anchor professional presence and integrity. The aim isn’t just skill - it’s character. Because in the toughest moments, character carries the work.
Group III. Professional esteem of the clinician
This group is designed for clinicians who want to strengthen their professional identity, clarify their role, and anchor themselves in a sense of value that sustains practice over time. This group focuses on strengthening the clinician’s professional esteem - confidence, clarity, and integrity in the role - by applying Nathaniel Branden’s Six Pillars of Self-Esteem to professional life. Each week, we take one pillar and explore how it shapes our presence, choices, and identity as clinicians.
