Supervision enhances knowledge and skills among mental health professionals.
It’s an exciting time for encouragement and growth as one earns licensure to practice independently, as well as to pursue further professional ambitions. Karen’s supportive and comfortable atmosphere promotes a meaningful learning experience.
Work to integrate theoretical concepts to theoretical modalities. Develop psychiatric evaluation skills as well as further knowledge of the DSM-V. Discuss cultural and family topics to enhance your cultural competency and learn how to deal with difficult client behaviors.
Intimidation and feelings of insecurity are common for therapists seeking supervision, since feedback will be given for observed clinical practice. Karen approaches those being supervised as colleagues and professionals from whom she can learn as well. She seeks to understand the best way each therapist learns, and strives to ensure a productive experience in a supportive and non-judgmental manner.
Supervision enhances knowledge and skills among mental health professionals.
Karen’s philosophy is to help you reach your professional goals, to gain the confidence and experience necessary to become an outstanding independent therapist. With acceptance, validation, and humor Karen works to empower therapists with knowledge to draw upon for many years.
Individual and group supervision is available.

I highly recommend Karen to other licensure candidates. She is a reliable, competent, and supportive clinical supervisor which made all the difference. Knowing Karen was there to guide, and listen was key to my
success. Karen also helped me navigate my own work struggles, reminding me that enjoying your job is key to being a successful social worker.

I recommend Karen Buckley highly for clinical supervision. Her wisdom, humor, and insight gave me much more confidence in my work and supported me tremendously in my practice in so many areas. Her experience, expertise, and compassion make her an incredible supervisor, and she helped me to develop both clinical and self-care skills that I will carry forward in my practice for years to come. She is a wonderful presence and inspiring teacher–I wish I could continue supervision forever!

Karen is a very professional therapist with first hand experience helping clients in many different settings. She was my clinical supervisor for over a year, and while I worked with Karen I was able to grow professionally, process my own personal issues, and learn skills that I continue to use to this day in my career as a Licensed Master Social Worker. I am blessed to have her as a mentor and a friend.
