Danielle Powell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York State offering individual supervision to LMSWs and MHCs looking to earn their clinical hours towards licensure. She can also provide supervision and mentorship to other mental health practitioners looking to deepen or expand their practice. She is currently accepting new supervisees.
As a clinical supervisor, I offer a thoughtful, collaborative space for emerging therapists to grow in confidence, clinical insight, and self-awareness. Together, we’ll explore your therapeutic identity, hone your skills, and reflect on how your personal experience shapes your work. Our supervision will include case consultation, treatment planning, transference and countertransference, boundary work, and whatever else arises in your practice. I hold clinical experience in working in schools, the foster care system, with mothers, parent-child dyadic work, and young children. I provide both a trauma-informed and social justice leaning lens in my practice and as a clinical supervisor.
I particularly love supporting clinicians who are interested in working with young children and caregivers in the critical birth-to-five window. My experience and education has been developed through dynamic and archetypal play therapy, the power of parent-child relational connections, and trauma-informed modalities such as EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, among others.
My supervisory style is largely informed by relational psychodynamic trainings and attachment theory. I offer a welcoming space that celebrates our unique selves, welcomes mistakes, and recognizes the integral need for connection within us all. We'll also hold space for the internal experiences that come with this work—grief, doubt, joy, resistance—and the personal growth that arises in parallel to clinical growth. I believe key aspects of supervision include exploring self-care, providing resources towards evidence-based practices, recognizing and overcoming vicarious trauma, preventing burnout, and building further awareness of our own emotional processes.
I am committed to an anti-oppressive, socially conscious approach to supervision. Together we’ll examine how systems of power and privilege show up in your clinical work, your professional development, and the lives of the clients you serve. I support therapists in building reflective, justice-oriented practices that center humility, curiosity, and ongoing learning. I view supervision not just as a clinical requirement but as an essential support in becoming a more embodied, ethical, and sustainable clinician.
While many LMSWs and LMHCs work in settings where licensure-eligible clinical supervision is not available, I am able to contract with your agency or professional setting, and offer individual or group supervision for yourself and your colleagues.
