External Clinical Supervision for Ontario Clinics, Students & RP (Qualifying)
Whether you're a clinic that needs a CRPO-compliant external supervisor for your students and RP (Qualifying) associates, or a therapist who's secured a placement and now needs to source your own supervision — Amanda offers structured, documented clinical supervision that meets CRPO's current requirements.
Offered virtually across Ontario, with in-person supervision available by arrangement in Cabbagetown, Toronto.
Not every clinic has a supervisor on staff who's able to take on additional supervisees — or who meets CRPO's current supervisor criteria. And not every student or RP (Qualifying) is placed somewhere that offers supervision at all. External supervision fills that gap without asking a clinic to change its staffing model, and without leaving a supervisee to search alone.
For Clinics
Bringing on an external supervisor means your placements are covered by someone who already meets CRPO's current requirements — including the criteria that took effect in April 2026 — without adding to your internal workload. Your students and associates get consistent, well-documented supervision, and you get a reliable point of contact who takes the coordination off your plate.
Documented, CRPO-compliant supervision (individual, dyadic, or group formats)
Regular attestation and hour tracking your associates can rely on
A flexible arrangement that scales with how many placements you're hosting
A straightforward point of contact for placement coordinators
A supervisory relationship structured clearly and separately from your clinic's own contractor agreements (clinics should confirm classification questions with their accountant or legal counsel)
Secured a placement but need to find your own supervisor? Amanda provides individual, dyadic, and group supervision that counts toward your CRPO hours — with at least 50% completed in individual or dyadic format, per CRPO's current requirements.
Individual, dyadic, and group formats available
Clear documentation and attestation process
Support across modalities, with particular depth in EMDR, trauma-informed, DBT-informed, and somatic-informed approaches
Supervision isn't just a box to check on the way to registration — it's one of the places a therapist's professional identity actually takes shape. I care about the clinician in front of me as a whole person, not just the hours they need to log. That means we'll talk about the case in the room, and we'll also talk about what it's like to sit across from another person's pain week after week, where your own reactions come from, and what kind of therapist you actually want to become — not just what your placement requires you to be.
My approach draws on the same nervous-system-informed, relational lens I bring to client work. Supervision should feel like a steady, honest space to think out loud, not another performance to manage. My hope is that the therapists I supervise leave not just meeting a requirement, but with a clearer sense of their own therapeutic identity — grounded, resourced, and ready for independent practice.
Not necessarily. CRPO's supervisor requirements changed as of April 1, 2026, but supervisors who were already supervising before that date can continue under the prior directed-learning standard. Anyone starting to supervise after that date needs the formal 30-hour course. All supervisors — regardless of start date — must complete CRPO's online supervision module.
CRPO recognizes individual, dyadic, and group supervision (groups of eight or fewer). At least 50% of your total supervision hours must be individual or dyadic.
Each session is documented — date, duration, format, and topics discussed — so your hours are clearly accounted for if CRPO ever requests verification.
Supervision is offered virtually across Ontario, which works well for clinics and supervisees outside the GTA. In-person supervision can also be arranged at Vistas' Cabbagetown, Toronto location for those who prefer to meet face-to-face.
Yes — clinics can arrange recurring external supervision for one or multiple students/associates. Reach out to discuss what fits your placement structure.
