Who this is for
Pre- and post-licensure clinicians seeking a small, supportive space that reduces isolation, strengthens ethical practice, and helps you integrate learning both with your clients and within yourself as a practitioner.
This group is open to clinicians from anywhere — as long as you can connect virtually.
Orientation & Methods
This group is trauma-informed, bottom-up, and relational, grounded in a strong psychodynamic frame. We will borrow from nervous-system and re-processing tools such as bilateral stimulation (using bone-conduction headphones), Brainspotting, and EMDR, alongside IFS and psychodynamic processing for bottom-up integration.
At its core, this training and supervision space is relational and anti-gatekeeping — a direct response to the systemic structures of the therapy industrial complex that have made advanced training and supervision inaccessible, hierarchical, and often exploitative. You do not need to be formally certified in a memory reprocessing modality to understand and ethically integrate the neuroscience, literature, and principles behind these approaches. Gatekeeping this knowledge is harmful; therapy is relational, and so is supervision and clinical community.
This space honours therapy as both an art and a science — a dance and a disciplined sport, a lineage we learn, embody, and pass on. Our gatherings are designed to nourish that lineage, offering both resource and community.
Participation is accessible and intentionally affordable — approximately $50 CAD for 1.5 hours of combined supervision and didactic training, guided by me, Amanda, a seasoned trauma therapist and trainer with over 13 years of clinical experience.
Note: Participants will need bone-conduction headphones before the first group for bilateral listening practice.
Focus Areas
Trauma-informed case formulation & treatment planning within a trauma-informed integrative lens
Attachment trauma, transference & counter-transference: understanding how these dynamics show up from a non-pathological lens, working with enactments, and preserving the frame
Nervous-system attunement: activation, titration, and cohesion
Experiential interventions and parts-work and somatic applications for bottom-up integration
Ethical container, scope, and clinical boundaries when working with complex trauma
Burnout protection, sustainable pacing, and community care for both client outcomes and clinician wellbeing
Learning Supports
Welcome Package: One week before your first session, you’ll receive a digital packet with suggested readings, downloads, tech information, and links to resources to help you prepare.
Session Supplements: A week before each supervision session, you’ll receive a short resource — a slide deck, article, video, demo, or role play clip — tied to the theme.
Community Connection: We’ll also develop a closed WhatsApp group for the cohort — a place to share thoughts, resources, wild moments from practice, and the occasional ridiculous meme. We’ll give your cohort a fun name and let the group live on well beyond the six sessions, so the support (and silliness) continues.
Playful Touches: Expect a touch of creativity along the way (imagine a slide deck with photos of random animals instead of stock therapy diagrams) — because supervision and clinical learning can be rigorous and humanizing.
Weekly Themes (6 sessions)

Recognizing somatic markers, tracking the window of tolerance, and practicing nervous-system-informed interventions for grounding and integration.Jan 9 — Transference, Counter-Transference & Attachment Trauma
Understanding how these dynamics show up with clients. Working with attachment trauma while maintaining attention to enactments, rupture and repair, and preserving the therapeutic frame.Jan 23 — Case Consultations and Experiential Interventions
