3 Things to Look for in a Texas LCSW Supervisor Training

Have you been thinking about adding supervision to your offerings but are feeling unsure about which training to pick?

We have 3 things for you to look for and think about when sorting through the options of Texas LCSW Supervisor Trainings.

First, and most important to us, is:

Does the training meet board requirements?

At Kate Walker Training, we are rules, statutes, and board gurus. We don't just ‘follow' the rules; we live by the Texas Administrative Code §781.404.

Our curriculum is meticulously mapped to the 40-hour requirement, covering everything from the 12 hours of supervision methods to the critical 3 hours of executive and administrative tasks.

You won't just get a certificate; you'll get the peace of mind that your training is BHEC-ready

Not only that, we dig into and read, advocate, and attend meetings about the rules constantly. When things change, we pass along that knowledge and information to our supervisors. Our goal is for you to have all of the information you need to provide supervision, and if something affects either supervision or the provision of care in any of the states we train in, we want you to hear about it as soon as possible. Additionally, if there is a need to advocate for either clients, supervisees, or supervisors, we’ll do that too.

Does the training fit your schedule?

I cannot count how many times I have paid for a training that ended up just sitting in my to-do pile. Training only works when we a) actually take them and b) are interested and invested in the material. Our training courses are engaging, offering many types of learning opportunities, with video materials, reading materials, and more. We want you to learn the content, be interested and invested in your new supervision practice, and feel comfortable and confident that you have what you need to get to creating your business.

Self-paced and online

Our training is also fully self-paced. No weekends away from your responsibilities, paying for a hotel and travel expenses, or having a camera in your face on a Zoom call all day. You get to pick when and how you take the course, on your own time. This opens up the opportunity for you to go as fast as you want or take time to really sit with the information.

The business of supervision

Most LCSW trainings stop at clinical theory. We go further by teaching you the business of supervision. How do you set your fees? How do you write a contract that protects your license? We provide the universal logs and frameworks so you can stop overthinking the paperwork and start growing your practice.

Do others say this training is worth it?

Word of mouth is powerful! When we love something, we tell people about it. Our courses are constantly recommended by those who have taken them, which is such an honor. Course takers are asked how we can improve, and we implement recommendations consistently to make the course better.

Those who take our courses tell their friends, family, and loved ones about them, which is the highest compliment we could ask for. We think that’s not only awesome, but also that we’re doing something really right.

Our site includes testimonials that highlight what people enjoyed about our courses, so you can see if this aligns with your thoughts, values, and goals for the supervision course. We also provide a ton of free information, CEs, and content to get you to a place where you can be successful. No nickel and diming you here! Our supervision training course is designed to make you successful, so check us out! You’re worth it, and your future supervisees are worth it.
