Clinical Supervision for Counselors in Maryland & Pennsylvania
Learn. Grow. Serve.
Grow Your Clinical Skills. Strengthen Your Confidence. Develop Who You Are as a Counselor.
Becoming a confident, competent counselor takes more than accumulating supervision hours.
It takes a place where you can ask difficult questions, think critically about your cases, receive honest feedback, explore your own responses in the counseling room, and continue developing your unique identity as a clinician.
Brittany Edie, LCPC, LPC, provides clinical supervision for professional counselors seeking licensure and continued professional development in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
Brittany is a Maryland Board of Professional Counselors and Therapists Approved Clinical Supervisor for Licensed Graduate Professional Counselors (LGPCs) and provides supervision for eligible LAPC counselors in Pennsylvania.
Her approach to clinical supervision is supportive, relational, direct, and growth-oriented—with an emphasis on developing counselors who can think clinically rather than simply being told what to do.
Clinical Supervision Is More Than Checking a Box
But it can—and should—be much more than a requirement.
The right clinical supervision relationship can help shape the counselor you become.
Supervision provides space to slow down and ask questions such as:
- What am I noticing about this client that I may be overlooking?
- What is happening underneath the presenting symptoms?
- Why am I feeling stuck with this case?
- What is happening within me when I sit with this particular client?
- How do I know when to challenge, when to support, and when to simply stay present?
- What ethical considerations am I missing?
- How do I integrate theory without becoming rigid or formulaic?
- How do I develop confidence without pretending I know everything?
Good supervision should help you become increasingly capable of answering those questions for yourself.
The goal isn't to create a counselor who depends upon their supervisor forever.
The goal is to help develop a counselor who can practice with competence, discernment, self-awareness, confidence, curiosity, and integrity.
A Whole-Person Approach to Clinical Supervision
That philosophy also influences her approach to clinical supervision.
Clients are not simply collections of symptoms.
When conceptualizing cases, supervisees are encouraged to become curious about the connections between a client's:
- Thoughts and emotions
- Past experiences and trauma
- Nervous system
- Physical health
- Nutrition and daily rhythms
- Relationships and attachment patterns
- Environment and stressors
- Identity and sense of self
- Values, meaning, purpose, and spirituality
This does not mean counselors work outside their scope of practice.
Instead, supervisees learn to recognize the complexity of the person sitting across from them, understand the limits of their own role, identify when collaboration or referral may be appropriate, and develop more comprehensive case conceptualizations.
We aren't simply asking:
“How do we make this symptom go away?”
We are learning to ask:
“What might this symptom be communicating, and what does this whole person need?”
Clinical Supervision With Brittany Edie, LCPC, LPC
Brittany brings experience as a clinician, clinical supervisor, practice owner, and leader of a multidisciplinary wellness team to the supervision relationship.
Her clinical background includes work with:
Trauma + EMDR-Informed Practice
Understanding trauma through a nervous-system and adaptive lens, developing trauma-informed case conceptualizations, recognizing when deeper processing may be appropriate, and helping clinicians think beyond symptom management.
ANXIETY + STRESS
Understanding anxiety not simply as something to eliminate, but as information about a client's internal experience, nervous system, beliefs, environment, and patterns of protection.
DEPRESSION
Exploring the emotional, relational, behavioral, physical, environmental, and spiritual factors that may contribute to depressive symptoms.
INDIVIDUAL COUNSELING
Developing strong therapeutic relationships, case conceptualization skills, treatment planning, boundaries, clinical judgment, and intentional interventions.
COUPLES + RELATIONSHIP WORK
Navigating relationship dynamics, communication patterns, conflict, attachment, betrayal, infidelity, and the complexity of working with more than one person in the counseling room.
PREMARITAL COUNSELING
Helping couples explore communication, expectations, values, conflict patterns, family-of-origin influences, and preparation for marriage.
Christian Counseling + Faith Integration
Learning how to ethically and appropriately incorporate a client's faith into clinical care when desired, while remaining grounded in sound clinical practice and client autonomy.
LIFE TRANSITIONS + Identity
Supporting clients navigating changing relationships, careers, family roles, grief, purpose, identity, and seasons of significant change.
Trauma-Informed Clinical Supervision
It requires the ability to understand what is happening within the client's nervous system, recognize protective responses, maintain appropriate pacing, assess readiness, and remain aware of what is happening within the therapeutic relationship.
Brittany is a Certified EMDR Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant with extensive training in trauma-informed care.
Her trauma background informs clinical supervision through attention to:
- Trauma-informed case conceptualization
- Nervous-system regulation
- Window of tolerance and pacing
- Attachment and relational patterns
- Protective responses
- Resourcing and stabilization
- Therapist activation and countertransference
- Recognizing when trauma processing may or may not be appropriate
- Ethical scope of practice and appropriate referral
Please note: Clinical supervision and EMDR consultation are separate professional services. Counselors seeking EMDR consultation toward EMDRIA certification or advanced EMDR development should visit our EMDR Consultation page.
Christian Clinical Supervision
Faith-integrated supervision is not about replacing clinical knowledge with spiritual language.
It is an opportunity to thoughtfully explore how Christian faith, clinical ethics, professional identity, and the counseling relationship intersect.
Depending upon the supervisee's goals and clinical setting, supervision may include conversations about:
- Ethical integration of faith into counseling
- Following the client's lead regarding spiritual interventions
- Distinguishing spiritual concerns from clinical concerns
- Working with shame, identity, forgiveness, grief, purpose, and meaning
- Recognizing spiritual bypassing
- Navigating your own beliefs while honoring client autonomy
- Maintaining appropriate professional boundaries
- Understanding how a client's experiences with faith communities may affect mental health
- Developing confidence as a Christian clinician without imposing beliefs on clients
You do not need to practice exclusively as a Christian counselor to benefit from this perspective.
However, clinicians specifically seeking a supervisor who understands both clinical excellence and Christian faith integration may find this approach particularly valuable.
What Can We Talk About in Supervision?
Our conversations may include:
- Case conceptualization
- Diagnosis and assessment
- Treatment planning
- Clinical interventions
- Trauma-informed treatment
- Ethical dilemmas
- Professional boundaries
- Documentation
- Difficult or complex cases
- Therapeutic relationship dynamics
- Countertransference
- Therapist self-awareness
- Client resistance or stuck points
- Clinical confidence
- Professional identity
- Burnout and sustainability
- Scope of practice
- Consultation and referrals
- Faith integration
- Private-practice considerations
- Transition toward independent licensure
And sometimes the most valuable supervision question is simply:
“I don't know what to do next.”
You don't have to arrive at supervision already knowing the answer.
That's part of why supervision exists.
What You Can Expect From Brittany as a Supervisor?
Developing counselors need room to say, “I don't know.”
Supervision should be a place where questions are welcomed and uncertainty can be explored without shame.
Honest Feedback
Support without feedback doesn't create growth. Brittany believes in giving supervisees clear, constructive feedback while helping them identify both strengths and areas that need further development.
Clinical Curiosity
Rather than immediately jumping to an intervention, supervision often begins with curiosity.
What is happening here? What are we missing? What does the client's history tell us?
What is the behavior accomplishing? What happens inside you when this client enters the room?
Increasing Independence
Early-career clinicians naturally need more guidance. Over time, the goal is to help you develop your own clinical reasoning, judgment, voice, and confidence so you become less dependent upon someone else to tell you the “right” answer.
Whole-Person Thinking
You will be encouraged to look beyond the obvious presenting problem and consider the larger context influencing your client's well-being.
Professional Growth
Supervision isn't only about the client. It's also about who you are becoming as a professional.
Who Is Clinical Supervision For?
Clinical supervision may be appropriate for counselors who are:
Maryland LGPCs
Licensed Graduate Professional Counselors working toward independent LCPC licensure in Maryland who need supervision from a Maryland Board-approved clinical supervisor.
Pennsylvania LAPC Pre-Licensed Professional Counselors
Eligible counselors working toward independent professional counselor licensure in Pennsylvania and seeking qualified clinical supervision consistent with current Pennsylvania licensure requirements.
Graduate-Level Counselors
Depending upon program requirements and current supervision capacity, supervision opportunities may also be available for counseling interns or graduate clinicians.
Licensed Clinicians Seeking Ongoing Consultation
Licensure doesn't mean you stop encountering difficult cases. Licensed clinicians may choose to meet with Brittany for ongoing professional consultation, case conceptualization, clinical development, or support as they expand into new areas of practice.
Individual Clinical Supervision Fees
90-Minute Clinical Supervision — $245
Supervision frequency and session length may vary based upon licensure requirements, clinical needs, and the supervisee's individual circumstances.
Supervisees are responsible for understanding the current requirements of their licensing board and ensuring that their supervision arrangement meets all applicable requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions About Clinical Supervision
Do you provide supervision for Maryland LGPCs?
Yes. Brittany Edie is a Maryland Board of Professional Counselors and Therapists Approved Clinical Supervisor and provides clinical supervision for eligible LGPCs working toward LCPC licensure.
Do you provide LAPC supervision in Pennsylvania?
Brittany also provides clinical supervision for eligible counselors working toward professional counselor licensure in Pennsylvania. Because licensure regulations can change and individual circumstances vary, prospective supervisees should verify current Pennsylvania requirements and confirm that their proposed supervision arrangement meets board requirements.
Is supervision available virtually?
Yes, supervision is available virtually for both Maryland & Pennsylvania.
Do you offer Christian counseling supervision?
Yes. Brittany offers supervision informed by a Christian worldview for clinicians who desire this perspective. Discussions may include ethical faith integration, professional identity, clinical discernment, spiritual concerns, and maintaining client-centered care.
Do I need to be a Christian to receive supervision?
No. Brittany's own approach to leadership and supervision is informed by a Christian worldview, but supervisees do not need to share the same beliefs. Supervisees should be comfortable with and respectful of that perspective.
Can clinical supervision count toward EMDR certification?
Clinical supervision and EMDR consultation are different services. EMDRIA certification has specific consultation requirements. If you are seeking EMDRIA certification, visit the EMDR Consultation page for information about working with Brittany as an EMDRIA Approved Consultant.
Do you provide group supervision?
Yes, depending upon group numbers and schedule availablity.
Can you supervise me outside of Graceful Balance Wellness?
Brittany can provide supervision to eligible clinicians working in other private practices, group practices, agencies, or clinical settings, provided the supervision arrangement meets applicable licensing-board requirements and appropriate agreements are established with your employer or practice.
Because meaningful clinical supervision may involve discussing client cases, reviewing clinical documentation, and coordinating around your clinical work, additional steps will be required before supervision begins. Depending upon your employment setting and supervision arrangement, this may include:
- Coordination with your current practice or employer
- A Business Associate Agreement (BAA) between Graceful Balance Wellness and your practice, when applicable
- Appropriate Releases of Information (ROIs) or other required authorizations to allow client information to be discussed as part of supervision
- Permission for Brittany to review relevant clinical documentation when necessary
- Clarification of roles and responsibilities between Brittany, the supervisee, and the supervisee's employer or practice
- Any additional supervision agreements or documentation required by the licensing board
These safeguards help ensure that supervision can be thorough, collaborative, and appropriately coordinated while protecting client confidentiality and maintaining ethical and legal standards.
If you currently work outside of Graceful Balance, please identify your employer or practice on the supervision inquiry form. We can then determine what agreements and documentation will need to be in place before supervision begins.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Complete our supervision inquiry form with information about your current license or status, where you practice, the state in which you are pursuing licensure, your supervision needs, and what you are looking for in a supervisor. If it appears that Brittany may be able to meet your supervision needs, the next step will be a conversation to determine whether the supervision relationship is a good fit.
Ready for a Clinical Supervisor in Maryland or Pennsylvania?
Some of the most important growth in your career will happen in the space between knowing and not knowing.
Clinical supervision gives you a place to examine that space.
Bring the complicated cases. Bring the ethical questions. Bring the sessions you keep replaying afterward. Bring the intervention that didn't work. Bring the client you aren't quite sure how to help. Bring the areas where you know you need to grow.
And bring the moments when you realize:
“I handled that differently than I would have six months ago.”
Those moments matter, too.
If you are looking for clinical supervision in Maryland or Pennsylvania that values clinical excellence, whole-person care, trauma-informed practice, professional development, and the option to integrate a Christian worldview, we invite you to connect with Brittany.
