If you're an AMFT, APCC, or curious about life as a therapist or mental health professional, Life Under Supervision is for you. Here we talk about the myriad challenges involved in transitioning from student to clinician; how to translate book knowledge into real practice; and how to make your first years of supervision a catalyst for becoming the best therapist you can be. My name is Mark Welte, and I'm an AMFT in San Francisco, and I look forward to working with mental health professionals and my peers as we all learn and grow into the types of therapists--and persons--we aspire to be. Join us for engaging talks, insight, practical tips, and wisdom.
Discussion with Dr. David Puder, psychiatrist, supervisor, and host of the leading Psychiatry and Psychotherapy podcast on both the map and the territory of the supervised years before licensure. Join us for a lively conversation and insights from David as we talk shop.
