Supervision/Consultation Overview

At Larch, we provide several different types of supervision/consultation to meet the needs of developing and developed clinicians. From supervising interns during their practicums, supervising towards state licensure, mentoring (supervising supervisors) to help clinicians complete the requirements to become a supervisor, consulting on business development, or consulting on issues you are needing extra support in. Below is a list of the types of consulting and supervision we provide, including the fee, as well as a list of our supervisors.

Here is a list of our current supervisors and a link to their clinical bios:

Supervision for Practicums/Internships

Most sites will provide supervision directly for your work during your internship or practicum. There are times you may need supervision hours under a supervisor with specific credentials such as an AAMFT Approved Supervisor. Or you may just want extra support on specific issues that one of our supervisors specializes in. If this is the case, we are happy to support. In these dynamics, we would require an agreement signed with your site supervisor to make sure we are supporting you appropriately together. Supervision is charged at our clinical rate.

Supervision for Licensure in the State of WA

We have several WA approved supervisors to help you meet the requirements of licensure. We often have supervisors who hold different license types, allowing you to meet the requirements of your specific license. Note, some states may allow WA approved supervisors to supervise towards your states license. If you do the research, we may be able to support you as well. We offer two forms of supervision to meet your licensure type.

Group Supervision (3-6 Members)
LMFTA’s, and some other license types, are permitted to engage in group supervision to meet a portion of their supervision hour requirements. Engaging in group supervision can help offset the price of supervision if there are multiple supervisees present. In order to meet the standard of group supervision according to WAC 246-809-110, the group can have 3-6 associate members. This group can be done virtually through a Larch hosted platform, or in person. Groups often meet for 2-3 hours once a month. If there are no groups currently open, you can gather some collogues together and create one, and we can lead it. If you create the group, we often require a minimum of 6-month commitments due to carving out space for it, and then reassess each block. Open groups are priced within the listing, and member created groups prices are negotiable based on how many students are participating. The open groups are listed in the contact form below! 

Individual Supervision (1-2 Members for LMHCA’s, and LMFTA’s)
In the state of WA, individual supervision, also defined as “one-on-one supervision” according to WAC 246-809-110 and “Immediate Supervision” as defined by WAC 246-809-210, can be made up of 1-2 members. These appointments can be done virtually through a Larch hosted zoom meeting, or in person. Supervision with 1 member is charged at our clinical rate, and individual supervision with two members is charged at our clinical rate +$50. Click here to see our current rate.

AAMFT Approved Supervisor Mentor

We offer supervision mentoring to meet the current AAMFT Approved Supervisor requirement to provide the required Supervision Mentorship.

Consultation for Specific Issues

Many of us have experience in specific issues, and are available to consult around them. For consultation, our goal is to help meet the ethical requirement of not practicing in isolation, but do not hold the liability of your clinical decision. If there is a specific issue you would like to consult on, you may complete the form at the end of this page and note that and we will see if there is a therapist on our team that would be an appropriate resource. Consultations are charged at our clinical rate, billed in half hour segments. Click here to see our current rate.

Practice Consulting

Thinking about the idea of building a practice but still have questions that need answers to fully know if it is right for you? Maybe you are ready to launch a practice and don’t know where to start. Or maybe you are already in the trenches with your practice and need some guidance to get things unstuck or take it to the next level. When you are launching a practice, stabilizing a practice, optimizing a practice, launching a program in a school setting, converting your practice into one with employees or private contractors, or some other business endeavor in the practice realm, it is beneficial to have a mentor. Before I (Dan Claussen) started Larch, and at different developmental cycles of the journey, I engaged in various forms of business consulting. From individual consulting, to business groups focused on larger practice structure. As a business owner, you will always find the things that are unique to your company, AND, there are a lot of things that are common across companies. Business consulting helps you not reinvent the wheel where it is not necessary, and provides space to conceptualize new ideas in a way you can launch a thought-out program or company. Appointments are scheduled as needed and billed at our clinical rate per half hour. It is encouraged to think through questions ahead of time to utilize the time well.

Open Groups:

Fall 2026 Group Supervision

Starting September 21^st, this group will meet every 4 weeks on Mondays from 9-12pm. It is for LMFTA’s who are working towards their licensure in WA State. If you are seeking another license type that allows for group hours in WA, or for a license type from outside WA that permits an AAMFT Approved Supervisor Licensed in Washington, this group is for you. We ask that you commit to a minimum of 3 months at a time to make the group cohesion stronger. This group will be led by Dan Claussen, MS, LMFTA, AAMFT Approved Supervisor. The cost for the group is $225 for the full meeting, which ends up being $75 per supervision hour. If the group has 5 members the rate decreases by $15, and if it has a full 6, it decreases by $20.
