Clinical training at BIPS

Supervision that takes your development as seriously as you do.

Supervision for clinicians building a career, and practice support for clinicians who already have one. Depth-oriented, culturally humble, and invested in the therapist you are becoming — or the practice you have already built.

The short version. Brooklyn Integrative Psychological Services provides clinical supervision toward LCSW and LMHC licensure in New York, for LMSWs, MHC-LPs, limited permit holders, and MSW and MHC interns. Supervisors are licensed clinical psychologists, LCSWs and LMHCs, and SIFI-certified supervisors are available for MSW interns. Supervisees receive about eight hours a month, weekly individual plus group, with $1,500 a year for continuing education. BIPS also offers case consultation, specialty consultation, practice building, practice management and group practice consultation to independently licensed clinicians outside the practice. Offices are in Greenpoint, Union Square and Midtown West, with telehealth across New York.

What supervision here is

Good supervision shapes good therapy.

We take the training of early-career clinicians as a clinical responsibility, not a licensing requirement to discharge. The therapists we supervise go on to be better clinicians — which matters to them, and to every client they'll see for the rest of their careers.

Our supervisors are licensed clinical psychologists, LCSWs and LMHCs who receive their own ongoing training and case consultation. They bring a psychodynamic foundation, a social justice orientation and cultural humility into the room, and they expect to learn from you as much as you learn from them.

Supervision here isn't about accumulating hours. It's about developing a clinical identity — learning to think psychodynamically, sit with uncertainty, hold complex cases, and grow into the therapist your clients actually need.

And that work doesn't finish at licensure. Seasoned clinicians come to us for the opposite reason: not to be developed, but to be relieved — of billing, credentialing, intake, scheduling, and the administrative weight that accumulates around a practice until there is no room left to think. Both are the same commitment, at different stages of a career.

Who we supervise

Every pre-licensed stage

Whether you're starting your first post-graduate hours or preparing for the licensing exam, we have supervisors who fit where you are.

Graduate training

MSW & MHC interns

Practicum and internship placements for students at NYU, Columbia, Hunter and other accredited programs. SIFI-certified supervisors. We take interns who want to go deep, not just log hours.

What it looks like

Rigorous, relational, and genuinely useful

Supervision here is not a weekly check-in where you report on your caseload. It's a clinical relationship in which you're challenged, supported, and helped to think at a higher level.

We work from case material, your own reactions to clients, and the supervisory relationship itself.

Our supervisors

Clinicians who keep learning themselves.

Our supervisors aren't senior clinicians settled into a fixed way of working. They're actively engaged in their own development — receiving case consultation, in ongoing training, and current with the literature.

They bring humility into the room. Working with early-career clinicians is a privilege, and doing it well takes curiosity and a real interest in who each supervisee is becoming.

Credentials include
  • Licensed clinical psychologists (PsyD, PhD) — doctoral-level supervisors with expertise in assessment, psychodynamic therapy and specialty populations
  • Licensed clinical social workers — advanced training in trauma, identity, relational therapy and community mental health
  • Licensed mental health counselors — specialty training in EFT, sex therapy, OCD and more
  • SIFI-certified supervisors — for MSW interns from NYU, Columbia, Hunter and other city programs
  • Social justice orientation — all supervisors trained in culturally responsive, anti-oppressive supervision
  • Ongoing training of their own — supervisors receive case consultation and continuing education, modeling the learning culture they bring
For seasoned clinicians

Everything off your plate, except the clinical work.

If you are already licensed and already good at this, you don't need developing. You need the rest of it handled. Join BIPS as a senior clinician, or bring us in to run the parts of your own practice you never wanted to run.

Join BIPS

A senior caseload, no admin

Billing, credentialing, benefits verification, claims, superbills, intake, matching, scheduling and compliance are all run by staff who do only that. You collect the copay and see clients. W-2, with benefits.

Licensed clinicians — LCSW, LMHC, PsyD, PhD
Your practice

Practice building

For clinicians going independent or growing: structure, fee-setting, insurance panels, referral networks, boundaries, and the business side nobody taught you in graduate school.

Solo practice — individual consultation
Your practice

Practice management

Ongoing operational support rather than a one-off conversation — billing and credentialing workflows, intake systems, documentation and audit readiness, hiring, and the systems a practice needs once it outgrows one person.

Solo or group — ongoing engagement
Your practice

Group practice consultation

For practice owners: how to build a supervision structure, hire and retain early-career clinicians, set up a sliding scale that actually works, and grow without the quality of care falling over.

Group practices — owners & directors
Clinical

Case consultation

A confidential, collegial space to think through complex or stuck cases, with a psychodynamic and culturally informed lens. For clinicians inside and outside BIPS.

Single session or ongoing
Clinical

Specialty consultation

For clinicians building expertise in trauma, OCD, gender-affirming care, couples work or perinatal mental health — with someone who has depth in it.

Clinical education

Learning doesn't stop at licensure.

BIPS runs an ongoing clinical education program for supervisees and staff — weekly didactics for early-career clinicians, case consultation groups, and specialized training woven into the practice. One strand is frequently open to clinicians outside BIPS.

Open to external clinicians by RSVP

Special Topics in psychodynamic practice

A seminar for experienced clinicians on the relationship between psychodynamic theory and what actually happens in the room. A single clinical subject taken up in depth each cycle — transference, rupture and repair, money, power, listening. Led by Zach Sapolsky, PhD. No fee, no CE credit.
