I offer mentorship to clinicians interested in a greater understanding of and ability to work with their client’s psychological processes. I also support occupational therapists and other allied health interested finding their footing working in the field of pelvic health or persistent pain. A mentorship/mentee relationship involves the opportunity to reflect on current challenges in practice in general as well as with specific clients. The mentor offers feedback and guidance using experience and skills in an area that they have refined and that the mentee is hoping to further develop. Mentorship may also involve supporting the individual with identifying and working towards professional goals and coaching in the development of boundaries and healthy work/life balance.

Lara is now offering Psychotherapy Supervision for registered Occupational Therapists in Ontario looking for support with integrating CBT and ACT into their clinical practices in mental health or other rehabilitation settings. According to the College of Occupational Therapists, "Supervision is a formal arrangement and a long-term commitment. It is to occur at regular intervals for the duration of the supervisory period, with a recommended minimum of 50 hours of supervision over at least the first two years of psychotherapy practice. This may extend longer for an occupational therapist who is not performing psychotherapy full time. Some training institutions may require specific supervision beyond this minimum."

A supervision relationship is more structured than mentorship relationship and specific to supporting the clinician with building their capacity to practice the controlled act of psychotherapy.

Not sure whether mentorship or supervision is right for you? No problem. Book either a Mentorship OR a Supervision Discovery Call with Lara to identify your goals and which approach is the best fit!
