Practicum, Internships and Supervision

Supervision and Practicum at CHM Therapy

At CHM Therapy, we believe that great therapists also need to feel connected and supported in the work that they do. whether you are a therapist in our practice or somewhere else, we believe in supporting and building each other up in whatever ways we can. For this reason, the CHM team has regular team meetings, consultations and supervision sessions. We also offer supervision or peer case consultation, with Candice Hamilton-Miller, for external therapists both Registered Psychotherapists and Registered Psychotherapists (Qualifying). We offer case consultation for other mental health professionals too. CHM also has monthly supervision groups that are focused on Practice issues and the role of psychotherapist, that are open to external therapists for a small fee.

Please reach out to us today if you are a mental health professional looking supervision support.
