Brooklyn Integrative Psychological Services · Clinical Training

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.

What clinical supervision at BIPS is

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.

What supervision looks like

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.

01

Individual supervision

Weekly one-on-one sessions with your supervisor — focused on your specific cases, your development, and your growing clinical identity.

02

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.

03

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.

04

Clinical education

Access to BIPS's ongoing clinical education program — including seminars, case consultation groups, and specialized training alongside the full BIPS clinical team.

05

Licensure documentation

All required documentation, hour tracking, and licensing board paperwork — handled accurately and without stress.

Our supervisors

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.

Supervisor credentials include
Licensed Clinical Psychologists (Psy.D., Ph.D.) — doctoral-level supervisors with expertise in assessment, psychodynamic therapy, and specialty populations
Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSW) — with advanced training in trauma, identity, relational therapy, and community mental health
Licensed Mental Health Counselors (LMHC) — with specialty training in EFT, sex therapy, OCD, and more
Social justice orientation — all BIPS supervisors are trained in culturally responsive, anti-oppressive supervision practice
Ongoing specialized training — supervisors receive their own case consultation and continuing education, modeling the learning culture they bring into supervision
For licensed clinicians

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.

Case Consultation

A confidential, collegial space to think through complex or stuck cases — with a supervisor who brings a psychodynamic and culturally informed lens.

Specialty Consultation

Consultation for licensed clinicians seeking expertise in a specific area — trauma, OCD, gender-affirming care, couples work, or perinatal mental health.

Practice Building

Support for clinicians starting or growing a private practice — structure, billing, insurance panels, referral networks, and the business of building a sustainable practice.

Insurance & Billing

Guidance on insurance credentialing, billing processes, audit readiness, and navigating the administrative complexity of private practice.

Clinical education at BIPS

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.

17-Week Seminar · Open to external clinicians
The Art of Listening Deeply
