Clinical Supervision for LMFT/LPC Associates in Texas | Dual Licensure
Brittany R. Saldivar, MS, LMFT-S, LPC-S | Board-Approved Clinical Supervisor
Welcome to the next chapter in your clinical career
You’ve completed your graduate program, passed the licensing exam, and now it’s onto the next!
Supervision is much more than checking boxes and logging hours. It’s a meaningful space where you get to deepen your identity as a clinician, integrate what you’ve learned, and grow with intention as you embrace your provisional licensure and the professional responsibilities it brings.
Drawing on my years of experience across diverse clinical settings, I’m passionate about supporting you as you build confident, real-world clinical skills that directly serve your clients.
ENHANCING client care, fostering clinical GROWTH
Is My Supervision Style Right for You?
This Supervision may be a good fit if…
You’re an LMFT/LPC Associate in Texas working towards independent dual licensure
You prefer a collaborative supervision style that respects your individual experience as a clinician
You value authenticity and want to build confidence in the therapy room
You’re open to challenging feedback that supports meaningful clinical growth
This Supervision may NOT be a good fit if…
You’re unwilling to engage in self-reflection that supports your professional growth
You’re only looking to prioritize hours and documentation
Your idea of supervision does not include challenging feedback
You’re not interested in incorporating trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and neuro-affirming values into your practice.
My Approach to Clinical Supervision
I take a collaborative, integrative approach to supervision that emphasizes warmth, practical support, and meeting Associate clinicians where they are in their journey as a new professional.
This often incorporates strengths-based reflection, mind-body awareness, and attention to the real-life demands of clinical practice. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can develop your clinical skills, explore ethical and relational dynamics, and build confidence as a component and well-developed clinician.
It’s not about checking boxes, it’s about cultivating your clinical identity.
As your clinical supervisor, I prioritize:
Ethical & legal considerations
Systemic case conceptualization
Treatment plan development
Nervous system awareness
Countertransference exploration
Identity-affirming support
Private practice guidance
Compassion fatigue and burnout recovery
Cultivating your unique clinical identity

The Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (TBHEC) guides the requirements for clinical supervision.
Texas LPC Associates are required to obtain 3000 hours of supervised experience within 5 years of practice, 1500 of which must consist of direct client contact. During this time, 4 hours/month of supervision is required with a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S).
Texas LMFT Associates must complete 3000 hours of supervised clinical experience. 500 of these hours must be focused on treating couples or families. No more than 750 of the total 1500 may be provided via technology-assisted services. During this time, LMFT-Associates must receive 200 hours of supervision, 100 of which must be individual supervision with a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Supervisor.

The cost of Clinical Supervision is consistent across the board.
Both LPC Associates and LMFT Associates can expect $400/month for clinical supervision.
Dual Provisionally licensed Associates can expect $400/month for dual licensure supervision.

Our supervision meetings are held weekly and by appointment.
I offer a hybrid of individual supervision and adhere to TBHEC rules and regulations for supervision.
