Testimonials: What Our Interns are Saying

At Momentum Counseling and Consulting, LLC, we value the feedback and experiences of our interns. Here's what some of them have to say about their time with us:

I selected Momentum Counseling and consulting as my professional choice because I initially harbored uncertainty regarding the specific demographic I wished to serve upon graduation. Momentum affords me the opportunity to discern my specialized field and engage with clients who evoke a profound sense of passion within me, thereby enhancing my capabilities as a counselor. Momentum Counseling and Consulting offers wonderful supervision and steadfast support across all levels of the organization, ensuring I have the assistance l need when it matters most.
Speaking as an intern, Momentum has been a wonderful bridge in between the academic and professional world. On top of learning the practicalities of being in a private practice, my skills as a clinician have grown through an incredible blend of guidance from supervisors and independent study. I love having the opportunity to seek the expertise of about 80 different counselors of varying areas of focus!
I chose Momentum because I could tell from the beginning that the practice was made for me to learn. Being early in my counseling career it was important for me to be at a site that I felt could help foster my growth and allow me opportunities to further my knowledge about the specialties I’m interested in. I have the freedom to choose my own clients while having the colleagues that can support me in new endeavors. The supervision I receive is in-depth enough for me to receive individualized feedback on my specific goals and has grown my confidence in ways I could not have imagined.

About Our Supervision Process

Clinical supervision supports mental health trainees by offering oversight and support from a more experienced provider. At Momentum Counseling and Consulting, our supervision is guided by the following five principles: Safety, Trust, Choice, Collaboration, and Empowerment.

Safety

Consistency, predictability, overview of expectations, structured meeting, being proactive about conflict resolution, normalizing conscious incompetence (we are all learning) and clear and friendly communication.

Trust

Transparency in expectations; invites vulnerability, openness, and truth; signed contracts/job descriptions; review of creative approaches in treatment and directives and crisis situations; normalization of conscious incompetence.

Choice

Supervisees feel in control of development/life by having choice; provide education on level of care for clients; support supervisees in personal development of style while upholding standards; encouraging flexibility/creativity in the room; opportunities to learn and refine treatment planning process.

Collaboration

Encourage involvement in learning the healing journey; rather than TELLING, we explain why and we invite feedback/questions; warm, caring, collaborative, and inquisitive; encourage supervisee involvement and ask questions about how they prefer to receive constructive feedback; request feedback from supervisees re: supervision experience.

Empowerment

Create a learning environment where one feels in control of their life/destiny; noting changes they see in clients; noticing progress and reaching a point where less mistakes are made; assistance in battling imposture syndrome; gentle leadership style (avoid micromanaging); clear communication regarding expectations and autonomy; provide opportunities to develop inner supervisor; provide opportunities to practice skills such as presenting, speaking, and writing; support autonomy and freedom in style.

-Written by MCC’s clinical director, Kate Newton

I hold supervision in an open format that allows discussion around reviewing notes and interventions with clients, building theoretical orientation and skill set along with helping develop students’ professional orientation around the students’ unique professional development. Most common discussions include: case reviews, intervention development, personal professional development as well as preparing students to work in private practice with commercial insurance as well as Medicaid.

  • “When I began my internship I was aware of tele-health, but assumed I would be primarily working in-person and was hoping to have the "traditional" therapeutic experience with my clients. I was stunned by the amount of people who preferred or were only able to access our services online. Along with them, I've found myself not only preferring to work online but wanting to transition to it exclusively. I am much more comfortable in my home office and I feel my work benefits greatly from it as well. Having a two monitor setup allows me to write down notes while remaining attentive to my clients, as well as accessing resources for them immediately without having to pull out a phone and disrupt the flow of the session. I'm able to provide valuable help to clients who live in remote areas that do not have access to quality mental health care, or come from places where it is not encouraged and they can now do so safely from their homes.” -Nick Moon

  • A:

    -You are in the comfort of your own space

    -There is no traveling between the office and your home so you save on fuel and time.

    -It is convenient both in terms of access and your ability as a therapist to quickly send your client homework or a link in the session to review together.

    -Momentum provides HIPAA-compliant platforms such as Doxy, Google Meet, and Zoom, computers, ring lights, high resolution webcams, and other hardware to help make your space telehealth ready.

    -Access to a larger pool of clients so you can fill up your caseload even faster.

    -You are not alone in the room with a client so there is an element of safety that telehealth platforms provide.
