Grow with Ali
Supervision with Ali
Ali brings 8 years of clinical experience to Insightful Therapists and has been a qualified supervisor actively working with interns for over a year.
As Ali began her career in the field she realized one of two things, that she was not only passionate about helping her clients but she was just as passionate about helping grow and develop new clinicians into their own powerful and loving healers in the field.
Many years ago as an intern, Ali was placed at a site with little guidance or direction. She was forced to step up and become a leader. She was deemed “the lead intern” and she took this role very seriously. Years later she was promoted to Lead Therapist and has since realized the impact she has not just on her clients but on new therapists in the field.
After almost a decade of experience she has been honored to work with many new therapists, helping them problem solve, find their own theoretical orientation, therapeutic flow, and most importantly, learn how to not take themselves so seriously!
What to Expect?
Under the transformative guidance of Ali, you will experience her innovative and unique style of supervision. Ali uses what she has coined as the Supports, Strengths, and Skills Model. This model focuses specifically on tailoring supervision to fit your own personal strengths and needs!
The Supports, Strengths, and Skills Model
- This model values collaboration, trust, rapport building, supporting/uplifting new therapists, encouraging them to identify their personal strengths/assets, normalizing fears, and anxieties, and implementing skill building.
- In supervision, Ali utilizes the same theoretical orientation that she utilizes with her clients, which is a person-centered and gestalt approach. However, she is big on allowing new therapists to grow in effectiveness with their own personal theoretical orientation and style!
- Ali works to identify, utilize and amplify supervises strengths.
- Ali empowers her supervises to problem-solve with her guidance, structure, and support.
- Ali teaches new skills and techniques through role-playing, role reversal, and other experimental interventions.
- Ali focuses on assisting her supervisees in increasing their awareness and insight into personal biases/limitations and helping them work through any barriers in a safe and supportive environment.
- Ali utilizes regular goal setting to identify areas that may need improvement and works side by side with the supervisee to help them meet their personal goals.During meetings with Ali the focus will be on case studies, therapeutic interventions, boundary setting, countertransference, ethical issues, psycho-education, and developing any area you feel you are needing improvement on. We do this together!

What others have to say about Ali…
My personal experience working with Ali as my supervisor has been everything I could have asked for plus more. Since day 1 she has taken the time to ensure I get the best experience and knowledge as she did when she was doing her internship. She not only provides me with great feedback but also challenges me in ways to help me grow as a counselor. Honestly, it’s a blessing working with Ali. I had a supervisor prior to Ali and I feel I didn’t get as much experience or one on one time as Ali has provided. I was at my first internship site for two months and I did a lot more and learned more with Ali in the first two weeks than I did in the two months at my other site with my other supervisor. I love how hands-on she is with making sure I get all the tools I need.

Ali has been more than a supervisor in my life. Ali has been a mentor, and someone I feel like I can always go to when I reach a roadblock. Ali is always pushing me to advance in my education while focusing on my self-care needs. When working with Ali as my supervisor I feel challenged and motivated to want to grow in my profession. I can visually see and feel Ali’s love for her clients and profession. I have had the opportunity to work with another supervisor before Ali and did not receive the guidance, support, and structure that Ali has to offer. Ali is different from the other supervisor I had because she demonstrates true dedication to her supervises by assigning goal-oriented tasks and incorporating our own clinical opinions into the conversation. When working with Ali I never feel less than others, but rather working as a team. Ali is a supervisor. I wish everyone could get the chance to experience it before entering the counseling profession.

I have been in my field for over 8 years and am now a primary therapist for over a year. Ali has been a sounding board, helping me as I continue to learn about myself as a therapist and challenging me to better myself in a respectful and empathetic way. She has provided me with a safe ground to come to her and ask questions. She is always focused on providing the best service to clients and has strong leadership skills, encouraging other therapists to be their best at all times. The difference between Ali and other supervisors is her perspective, her ability to be solution focused, empathetic, and her skills as a developed and professional therapist. Ali is the type of supervisor that will highlight her supervisee’s strengths and will also respectfully share insight where there’s room for growth and improvement.
