You are so close to becoming a licensed clinical social worker in the state of California, and you should be excited about this major achievement! The next step is to acquire two years of clinical supervision by a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). How do you find a therapist you can learn from and who shares your values?
As an experienced
licensed therapist, I would like to help you reach your goal. You'll receive invaluable oversight and support to promote your skills as a clinical social worker and qualify for licensure.
Get the Support You Need for Your LCSW.
Because California requires Associate Social Workers (ASW) working toward their LCSW to receive supervision by an LCSW-certified therapist, you need an experienced, supportive social work supervisor who can provide training and guidance.
You want a partner, not just a supervisor.
Finding a supervisor who is licensed by the Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS) and has the experience, education, and training in clinical supervision isn’t easy. You need support and guidance from someone who is a good match and wants to help you develop and see you succeed.
We know that becoming a licensed social worker requires years of education and commitment. With the right supervisory mentor, you can receive your LCSW license to
perform clinical social work and psychotherapy. As an LCSW, you can help people work through mental, emotional, and behavioral problems associated with anxiety, depression, grief, or identity. You'll be qualified to
screen and diagnose clients
and provide therapy independently.
A
little
guidance
can
go a
long way.
Developing a solid professional relationship with an experienced social work supervisor is necessary to facilitate your career advancement as a social worker or therapist. At Bright Moments Therapy, you'll receive
authentic supervision - training, guidance, and support to reach the level of proficiency required for your career. We've assisted many trainee counselors to meet the clinical supervision social work requirements set out by the BBS.
I'm here to help to get the most out of your experience.
With eight years of practicing stress, anxiety, depression, and grief loss therapy, I have the requisite LCSW clinical supervision credentials. I work diligently as a therapist and tutor to ensure you succeed in your social work and counseling career. Let me help you become the therapist you want to be.

What are LCSW supervision requirements?
Before beginning supervision, your social work supervisor must hold a current and active valid California LCSW2 for at least 2 out of the last five years. They must be in good standing with the California State Board of Social Work and have completed 15 hours of supervisor education. Your clinical supervisor must also have practiced psychotherapy during at least 2 out of the last five years before beginning supervision and provided direct supervision to trainee social workers.
How many hours of supervision are required?
California law requires you to accumulate
3,000 hours of supervised post-degree professional experience and 104 supervised weeks to qualify for LCSW licensure. One (1) hour of individual or triadic supervision by an LCSW per week is also needed, along with weekly group supervision for each work setting.
What are the goals of supervision?
Supervision by a trained and qualified clinical supervisor is intended to enhance your knowledge and skills in the practice of clinical social work. According to the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), you'll learn how to be a clinical social worker who "provides competent, appropriate, and ethical services to the client." You'll be equipped to respond to and manage clinical situations and crises effectively.
