Supervision that takes your
development as seriously
as you do.
Clinical supervision and consultation for pre-licensed clinicians in Brooklyn and NYC — grounded in depth, cultural humility, ongoing learning, and a genuine investment in who you are becoming as a clinician.
Good supervision shapes
good therapy.
We take the training of early-career clinicians seriously — not as a licensing requirement to fulfill, but as a genuine clinical responsibility. The therapists we supervise at BIPS go on to be better clinicians. That matters to us, and it matters to the patients they will see for the rest of their careers.
Our supervisors are licensed clinical psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, and licensed mental health counselors who receive ongoing specialized training and case consultation themselves. They bring a psychodynamic foundation, a social justice orientation, and a commitment to cultural humility into the supervision room — and they expect to learn from you as much as you learn from them.
Supervision at BIPS isn't just about getting your hours. It's about developing a clinical identity — learning to think psychodynamically, sit with uncertainty, hold complex cases, and grow into the kind of therapist your patients actually need.
Supervision available at every pre-licensed stage
Whether you're completing your first post-graduate hours or preparing for your licensing exam, we have supervisors who are the right fit for where you are.
Individual and group supervision toward LCSW licensure. Supervisors hold LCSW and doctoral credentials with specialty training matched to your caseload and clinical interests.

Supervision toward full LMHC licensure, with structured case review, clinical education, and ongoing support for the full arc of your pre-licensed period.
Toward LMHC licensure in New York
For clinicians holding a limited permit in psychology or counseling — structured supervision that meets state requirements while genuinely developing your clinical competence, not just checking boxes.
New York limited permit supervision
Practicum and internship supervision for graduate students in accredited MSW and mental health counseling programs. We take interns who are ready to go deep, not just accumulate hours.
Practicum & internship placement
Rigorous, relational,
and genuinely useful
Supervision at BIPS is not a weekly check-in where you report on your caseload. It's a genuine clinical relationship — one where you're challenged, supported, and helped to develop the capacity to think and work at a higher level.
We draw on case material, your own reactions to patients, and the supervisory relationship itself as clinical material. The work is depth-focused, psychodynamically-informed, and grounded in a social justice lens.
Individual supervision
Weekly one-on-one sessions with your supervisor — focused on your specific cases, your development, and your growing clinical identity.
Group supervision
Small group case consultation with peers — learning from each other's cases, building a collegial community, and developing the ability to think clinically together.
Specialty-matched supervisors
Your supervisor is matched to your clinical interests and caseload — not assigned arbitrarily. If you work with trauma, OCD, or couples, your supervisor has depth in those areas.
Clinical education
Access to BIPS's ongoing clinical education program — including seminars, case consultation groups, and specialized training alongside the full BIPS clinical team.
Licensure documentation
All required documentation, hour tracking, and licensing board paperwork — handled accurately and without stress.
Clinicians who keep
learning themselves
Our supervisors are not senior clinicians who have settled into a fixed way of working. They are actively engaged in their own development — receiving case consultation, participating in ongoing training, and staying current with the research and clinical literature.
They bring humility into the supervision room. They know that working with early-career clinicians is a privilege, and that good supervision requires curiosity, cultural responsiveness, and a genuine interest in who each supervisee is becoming.
Consultation & practice support
Supervision isn't only for pre-licensed clinicians. BIPS offers consultation and practice support to independently licensed clinicians outside of BIPS — whether you're working through a difficult case, developing your specialty, or building your practice.
A confidential, collegial space to think through complex or stuck cases — with a supervisor who brings a psychodynamic and culturally informed lens.
Consultation for licensed clinicians seeking expertise in a specific area — trauma, OCD, gender-affirming care, couples work, or perinatal mental health.
Support for clinicians starting or growing a private practice — structure, billing, insurance panels, referral networks, and the business of building a sustainable practice.
Guidance on insurance credentialing, billing processes, audit readiness, and navigating the administrative complexity of private practice.
Learning doesn't stop
at licensure
BIPS runs an ongoing clinical education program for supervisees and staff — seminars, case consultation groups, and specialized training woven into the culture of the practice. The following seminar is currently open to clinicians outside of BIPS.
A psychoanalytic primer on clinical listening for psychotherapists at any stage of training. Taught by Jordana Alhante, LCSW — clinical supervisor and psychoanalytic training candidate at BIPS. Covers the therapeutic frame, nonverbal communication, defensive operations, the patient's language, countertransference, and enactments. Held on Zoom, Friday mornings 10–11am.
