This 3-hour continuing education training introduces mental health professionals to a queer and intersectional framework for clinical supervision. Far beyond self-disclosure or identity alignment, this approach invites supervisors to critically examine how power, privilege, and systemic oppression shape both the supervisory relationship and broader therapeutic practice. Grounded in queer theory, feminist ethics, and intersectional praxis, this training offers a liberatory reimagining of supervision rooted in relational authenticity and cultural humility.

Participants will explore the ethical tensions, historical erasures, and structural dynamics that often go unnamed in traditional models of supervision. Topics include queer ethical frameworks, the complexity of multiple relationships within small or marginalized communities, and the impact of homonormativity and systemic bias on both clients and clinicians. Through case examples and reflective prompts, participants will assess their own positionality and examine how their identities influence supervisory dynamics.

This course is appropriate for clinical supervisors, therapists, social workers, and other helping professionals who wish to deepen their capacity for ethical, identity-affirming supervision. Participants will leave with concrete tools for integrating queer-informed practices into their supervisory relationships, as well as resources for ongoing growth and consultation.

Participants will also reflect on the limitations of rigid professional boundaries in queer and intersectional contexts, and learn how to navigate ethical dilemmas with nuance, transparency, and collaboration. This course centers the idea that supervision, like therapy, can be a transformative, justice-oriented space when approached with courage, clarity, and care.

OBJECTIVES:

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

• Differentiate between conventional and queer approaches to clinical supervision, particularly in relation to ethics, power dynamics, and authenticity.
• Critically assess how supervisors’ and supervisees’ intersecting identities impact the supervision process, and articulate strategies for navigating these dynamics.
• Apply queer-informed, intersectional frameworks to common supervisory challenges such as multiple relationships, cultural mismatch, and ethical decision-making.
