Clinical Supervision in Boulder

Grow Your Practice With Experienced Guidance

Are you navigating challenging cases or seeking to deepen your therapeutic skills? Finding the right clinical supervision in Boulder can transform your practice. At Couples Therapist Boulder, I offer a supportive space where therapists explore their work and grow professionally.

What Clinical Supervision Looks Like Here

I'm Deb Azorsky, and I've been practicing therapy in Boulder since 2001. My approach to supervision comes from both extensive training and my personal journey into psychotherapy.

Having experienced firsthand the transformative power of working with a responsive, attuned professional, I understand how vital good supervision is for your development as a therapist.

Clinical supervision gives you dedicated time to:

• Reflect on your cases and client relationships

• Develop your therapeutic skills and confidence

• Explore your responses to clients in a safe space

• Find your unique voice as a therapist

Who I Support

I work with therapists who want to deepen their understanding of human relationships and connection.

Since I specialize in couples therapy and hold certification in Gestalt therapy, I particularly welcome clinicians who:

• Work with couples or relationship issues

• Want to explore relational dynamics in their practice

• Seek to understand emotional attunement in therapy

Why Work With a Clinical Supervisor

Your journey as a therapist involves continuous learning and self-reflection. Just as I discovered the healing power of having someone emotionally responsive during my own therapy journey, supervision offers you a similar space for professional growth.

Think about it—if one hour per week with a therapist can create such profound change, imagine what regular supervision can do for your practice. You'll have space to:

• Make sense of complex dynamics in your cases

• Develop greater attunement to clients' emotions

• Process the emotional impact of your work

• Build confidence in your clinical decisions

My Supervision Approach and Models

Building on Relational Awareness

My supervision style emphasizes emotional attunement and genuine connection. These principles have guided my work since my early days as a massage therapist, when I first noticed people's deep need to talk and be heard.

In our supervision sessions, you'll experience the same quality of presence and responsiveness that you can then offer your clients.

Therapeutic Models I Use

I bring two main approaches to supervision:

Gestalt Therapy: I'm certified in Gestalt therapy and actively use these principles in my practice with couples. This approach helps you stay present with what's happening in the here-and-now of your client relationships.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Sue Johnson's EFT model deeply resonates with my understanding of attachment and emotional connection. This framework helps you recognize and work with the emotional bonds between people.

Ethics and Cultural Awareness

Ethical practice and cultural sensitivity form the foundation of effective therapy. Our supervision provides a thoughtful space to explore these essential dimensions of your clinical work.

What You Can Expect

Through supervision, you'll develop skills that directly improve your client outcomes. We'll explore how to create the kind of emotional responsiveness that facilitates healing.

Drawing from my years of experience and training, I'll help you recognize patterns, understand relational dynamics, and trust your clinical instincts.
