Clinical Supervison

Supportive, developmentally attuned supervision grounded in real-world experience.

Dr. Schofield offers clinical supervision for doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows who are building their skills in therapy, assessment, and professional identity. She brings over a decade of experience supervising across all stages of training—from early practicum students to interns, residents, and postdoctoral fellows.

Beyond direct supervision, Dr. Schofield has designed and led training programs that support early-career psychologists in developing the tools, confidence, and clinical range needed for meaningful, sustainable careers. This includes the creation of a successful postdoctoral fellowship in pediatric psychology and a robust practicum training program for doctoral students in hospital and community-based settings.

A supervision agreement will be developed collaboratively and will outline:

  • Hours and schedule

  • Scope of supervision

  • Goals and developmental focus

  • Programmatic needs and expectations

If you're seeking supervision that balances structure with warmth, and clinical growth with reflective practice, you’re welcome to reach out for availability.

Supervision

Style & Approach

Dr. Schofield practices from a developmental model of supervision, which is built on the belief that supervision should evolve alongside the supervisee.

Key features include:

  • Supervisory Adaptability
    Supervision is tailored to match the supervisee’s developmental stage, adjusting structure and feedback to provide the right balance of support and challenge.

  • Focus on Growth
    The goal is to support the supervisee’s progression toward greater autonomy and clinical expertise.

  • Scaffolding
    Supervisees are offered guided learning experiences, with support gradually reduced as competence increases.

  • “See one, do one, teach one”
    New skills are introduced through modeling, immediate practice, and reflective teaching moments.

This approach provides a structured, personalized path for skill development—whether you're building confidence in new modalities or deepening existing strengths.
