Counselor Interns in Florida

Supervision
for Registered Mental Health Counselor Interns

Hey there, future Florida therapist! I’m here to be your personal cheerleader, mentor, and guide on this incredible journey toward becoming an exceptional practitioner. Let’s embark on this counseling adventure together and create a transformative impact in people’s lives!

Clinical Experience &
Professional Background

Through the Valley Therapy offers comprehensive supervision for Registered Mental Health Counselor Interns (RMHCIs) who are employed in agencies, rehabilitation centers, or behavioral health facilities. While I do not provide placement or job opportunities, I offer high-quality, faith-integrated, and neuroscience-informed supervision to help interns develop strong clinical skills, ethical confidence, and a whole-person approach to therapy.

​

Eligibility for Supervision

  • Agency Employment: If you are currently employed at an agency, rehab center, or behavioral health facility, you can receive external supervision from a Qualified Supervisor like myself. This allows you to gain specialized mentorship beyond your workplace setting.

  • Private Practice Interns: Florida law mandates that a licensed mental health professional must be physically present when RMHCIs provide services in private practice settings. My supervision is best suited for those working in structured environments like agencies or schools.

​

Key Milestones in My Career:

  • Cross Creek School (2004): Completed a year-long practicum at a Cognitive Behavioral Therapeutic K-12 school, working alongside psychiatrists, nurses, and licensed clinicians to support students under psychiatric care.

  • Friends of Children (2007-2012): Served as an independent contracted therapist for a community mental health nonprofit, providing in-home and school-based therapy to underserved BIPOC communities.

  • Personal Journey (2012-2018): Took a hiatus from clinical work to care for my son after his traumatic brain injury. This experience deepened my passion for neurobiology, alternative healing, and holistic wellness.

  • Ascend Academy (2018-2021): Appointed as the Crisis Intervention Counselor at an alternative high school following the Stoneman Douglas tragedy, where I was the sole LMHC supporting students and faculty. My role encompassed crisis intervention, teacher training, family counseling, and court-ordered therapy.

  • Through the Valley Therapy (2020-Present): Founded my private practice in response to a divine calling, specializing in faith-integrated therapy for high-achieving women and professionals struggling with perfectionism, anxiety, self-worth challenges, and identity issues. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), biblical wisdom, and holistic wellness strategies, including gut-brain health and nervous system regulation to support deep, lasting transformation.

​​

Passing the Baton: A New Chapter

As a Qualified Supervisor in the State of Florida, I am passionate about equipping the next generation of mental health professionals with the skills, confidence, and ethical foundation they need to thrive. My supervision style is supportive, educational, and integrative, blending evidence-based therapy, holistic wellness, and faith-informed perspectives for those who wish to incorporate spirituality into their work. I help Registered Mental Health Counselor Interns (RMHCIs) develop their clinical judgment, strengthen their professional identity, and navigate the challenges of private practice or community-based settings with confidence.

​

If you're an RMHCI looking for a supervisor who values whole-person healing, ethical practice, and professional growth, I’d love to support you on your journey to licensure.

Areas of Interest

​

Rather than simply focusing on DSM diagnoses, I help interns understand the root causes of mental health challenges, such as childhood trauma, high ACE scores, nervous system dysregulation, gut-brain health, and holistic wellness practices. My supervision integrates:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) & Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) & parts work

  • Biblical wisdom & faith-based counseling (for those who choose to incorporate spirituality)

  • Neuroplasticity & brain-based interventions

  • Limbic retraining & nervous system regulation

  • Trauma-informed, integrative wellness approaches

  • Holistic health strategies, including gut-brain connections and lifestyle interventions​

​

Supervision Structure

  • Individual Supervision: One-on-one sessions tailored to your clinical cases, personal growth, and professional goals.

  • Group Supervision: Collaborative sessions with other interns, fostering peer learning, case discussions, and shared insights.

​

Supportive & Thought-Provoking Supervision Experience

Supervision with me is more than just meeting requirements—it's about creating a safe space for new therapists to ask tough questions, work through fears, and build confidence in their clinical skills. I challenge interns to think critically about their clients, develop their therapeutic voice, and explore holistic approaches beyond traditional models. Each week, I provide thought-provoking questions and curated resources to help interns expand their understanding of clinical work. My supervision focuses on:

  • ✔ Building Clinical Confidence – Develop a strong foundation in case conceptualization, ethical decision-making, and self-trust as a therapist.

  • ✔ Critical Thinking & Case Discussion – Gain new perspectives on challenging client cases through guided reflection and group discussion.

  • ✔ Holistic & Integrative Approaches – Explore mind-body connections, gut-brain health, and the intersection of neuroscience and faith in mental health.

  • ✔ Private Practice & Career Development – Learn the ins and outs of self-pay models, ethical considerations, and strategies for long-term career success.

​​

Why Choose My Supervision?

  • ✔ Whole-Person Approach – Blending faith, neuroscience, and holistic wellness with evidence-based therapy.

  • ✔ Faith-Integrated (If Desired) – Learn how to ethically and effectively incorporate spirituality into your practice.

  • ✔ Flexible & Supportive – Tailored supervision that fits your work schedule and clinical needs.

  • ✔ Expert Guidance in Private Practice & Community Work – Gain insights into running a self-pay practice and navigating agency work.
