Clinical Supervision with Danielle
We enter this work with reason. Something in us calls us here: a desire to help, a need to understand, a story of our own.
This work is beautiful, demanding, and deeply human. It calls on you to grow, to sit with discomfort, and to witness life in all its complexity. I’m here to help you navigate the early waters of your career, support you toward your Certified Sex Therapy credential, or rediscover your strength in familiar waters.
I’m here to help you grow.
One of the most meaningful parts of my career has been mentoring fellow clinicians as they find their way. I especially love supporting newly graduated or licensed therapists as they learn to trust their instincts, find their clinical voice, and grow into their confidence. Not to mention, sharing in the fascinating and important work as we help clients create healthy sexual lives.
There’s nothing quite like those moments—when a clinician steps fully into their gentle power. It gives me chills every time. Oye! You had me at hello.
What are your qualifications?
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, a Licensed Addiction Counselor, a Certified Sex Therapist, and an Approved Clinical Supervisor. I graduated from Regis University in Denver with my Master of Arts in Counseling as well as a Post Graduate Certificate in Child and Adolescent Counseling. I then went on to complete a Post Graduate Certificate in Sex Therapy. There is no end to learning, though, and I have participated in over 60 hours of Clinical Supervision training.
Including the work I did before and during graduate school, I have been working in various community mental health settings for over 17 years.
How long have you been supervising?
I’ve been providing supervision for over 11 years. I began by supervising interns and went on to support practicum and internship students, agency teams, private practice clinicians, and more seasoned therapists through consultation. Along the way, I’ve led an in-home family therapy team of five clinicians and spent time running a group private practice with three others.
In total, I’ve had the privilege of supervising more than 20 clinicians—each with their own style, strengths, and stories. It’s an honor every time.
What types of work have you done?
My experience over the last 17+ years has been varied and meaningful, including the work I have done in the Department of Youth Corrections, inpatient psychiatric care, residential, substance use rehab, in-home family therapy, and outpatient therapy. I spent the first half of my career in community mental health settings.
For the last nine years, I have run a successful private practice, including taking three new clinicians under my wing as interns and employees. I have offered family, individual, group, couples, and sex counseling. My range of experience allows me to supervise you, regardless of the setting you are currently working in, with an understanding of the population and atmosphere you serve.
What is your supervision style?
When I think about my supervision style, I’m reminded of my greatest teacher—someone so impactful he inspired the character Gil in Finding Nemo. He taught me, through his own presence and grit, the power of being genuine, direct, encouraging, and fully there for the people we walk alongside. That lesson has stayed with me, and it’s how I aim to show up for you.
I want you to trust the natural gifts you already bring into this work. My role is to help you recognize those strengths, stretch them across new and challenging situations, and support you as you grow into your own style. Together, we’ll reflect, adjust, stay curious, and build a toolkit that’s rooted in who you are—while also expanding what you know and how you show up.
What values are you bringing?
I believe it’s important to know the values of the people in our lives. We live in integrity when we recognize our values and make choices within them. So here are some values that come as passengers into supervision with me:
Honesty, Compassion, Humor, Consistent and Balanced Boundaries, Awareness, Practicing what I Preach, Willingness, Insight, Emotional Bravery, and Humility.
What modalities do you use?
My supervision style is integrative, relational, and rooted in the belief that you already carry meaningful wisdom—you just need the space and support to access it with clarity and confidence.
Over the years, I’ve drawn from a wide range of trainings and frameworks. I’ve studied postmodern, solution-focused approaches to supervision, and the empowerment model of clinical supervision. I’ve also completed training in Relational Life Therapy and deeply value the role of boundaries, safety, and interpersonal neurobiology in both therapy and supervision.
One of the most impactful influences on my work has been Juliane Taylor Shore’s teaching on Self-Trust and Integrated Resilience (STAIR). She reminds us that it’s not about collecting more modalities—it’s about learning to synthesize and apply what we know in a way that’s present, responsive, and deeply human.
At heart, I bring an experiential lens, a Buddhist philosophy of change, and a commitment to tenderness—to self, to others, and to the messy, brave work of being a helper. Supervision with me blends clinical insight, real-world practice, and steady encouragement to help you grow into the therapist you’re meant to be.
And, it never hurts to laugh along the way.
Here are the places I’ve spent the most time training:
Jules Shore’s Boundary Work and Memory Reconsolidation, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Sex Therapy, Relational Life Therapy (RLT), The Developmental Model (with Ellyn Bader), Gottman Method, Brainspotting, Play Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT)
I get a kick out of working with clinicians who are insightful, open to being wrong, willing to stand up for what they believe in, and who carry an endearing sense of humor. What we do is an art—or, at least, an art with boundaries.
There are two things I’ll ask of you, again and again.
First: be willing. Be willing to speak up. Be willing to sit with discomfort, own your mistakes, and stay curious. Willingness is the foundation of every healthy relationship I know—whether with my clients, my supervisees, or in my own life.
Second: aim to be a good enough counselor. Not perfect. Not polished. Just honest, grounded, and reflective. Especially when you’re starting out, you won’t get it all right—and that’s okay. Have compassion for yourself. Learning means making room for growth, not perfection.
I ask these things of you—and I promise to practice what I preach.
Sex Therapy Supervision
As of August 2025, I’m accepting new clinicians who are pursuing their Certified Sex Therapist (CST) credential. I’ve been a CST for two years, and I’m now stepping into the next chapter of this journey by pursuing my CST-S.
During this time, I’ll be providing supervision while also receiving supervision on my supervision from Janelle Washburne, who brings deep expertise in sex therapy and supervision. I believe in modeling what I ask of others—ongoing learning, reflection, and growth.
If you’re looking for a collaborative, supportive space to deepen your sex therapy work, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
What people are saying
“I was fortunate to have Danielle for a clinical supervisor for 10 months while in my first position as a mental health counselor. As a new clinician, I had a lot of insecurity and periodic overwhelm, and Danielle was consistently able to meet my needs and exceed my expectations. Danielle is simultaneously able to be nurturing and supportive yet also challenging, which creates the optimal conditions to learn and grow as a budding clinician. Danielle is well versed in a number of therapeutic modalities and is able to tailor her approach to her supervisee to meet his or her unique needs. She is also willing and open to engage in the hard conversations about the challenges (and joys) of working in mental health. She is truly a remarkable supervisor and a gifted clinician. I am a better counselor having had the opportunity to work with her, and fully endorse her skills and expertise!” -R
“Danielle is a bright light and an amazing supervisor to have. She is a brilliant clinician that offers abundant support, as well as challenges you to grow. Danielle pushed me out of my comfort zone on several occasions to find my place as a therapist. I find myself often looking back on notes taken during supervision for support and encouragement when I am struggling with a client or clinically. I looked forward to my supervision sessions each week because Danielle not only built me up, but also created opportunities for me to develop advanced clinical skills and knowledge. I attribute a lot of my success in my private practice to the supervision from Danielle.” -A
Working with Danielle has been one of the best decisions for my career. I reached out to her for consultation when I was feeling stuck and burnt out as a therapist. She approached our consultations with grace, understanding, and the right level of challenge. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, providing valuable insights that I could pass along to my clients, but she also guided my growth in a way that felt both rewarding and transformative. Our time together has truly made me a better therapist, and I highly recommend working with her! -S
Danielle leads with her heart, which quickly helped established an environment of trust and open communication, putting me at ease that I had found the right person to guide me. Her approach is both compassionate and insightful, making it easy to discuss challenging cases and explore different therapeutic techniques. She has a profound ability to ask the right questions, which encourages deep reflection and helped me to think critically about the way I was practicing.
Danielle is incredibly knowledgeable, with a wealth of experience in various therapeutic modalities. She is always up-to-date with the latest research and trends in the field, which she generously shares with their supervisees. This has significantly broadened my understanding and application of therapeutic practices.
What sets Danielle apart is her genuine care for the well-being of her supervisees. She is always available for support, whether it’s a quick question or a more complex issue. Her feedback is constructive and delivered in a manner that is both respectful and motivating. She readily celebrated my successes and provided thoughtful guidance through challenges, always maintaining a positive and encouraging attitude.
Through my time under her supervision, I have not only gained valuable professional skills but also developed a deeper sense of confidence in my abilities as a therapist. Danielle has been instrumental in helping me to find my unique therapeutic voice and to trust in my capacity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of my clients.
In summary, Danielle is an outstanding supervisor who combines expertise, empathy, and dedication to foster the growth and development of her supervisees. I am immensely grateful for her mentorship and wholeheartedly recommend her to any therapist seeking a supervisor who will inspire and empower them to reach their full potential.” -J
