Supervision with Nika Gannon
Hello, I’m Nika
I am an approved supervisor for Washington state under LICSW licensure. My approach to supervision is rooted in developmental and relational principles.
To me supervision is a mutual process, where power and responsibility are shared between the supervisor and supervisees. I strive to create a space where clinicians feel safe and supported to grow, where they feel held and seen in their humanity as well as their professionalism.
I was inspired to step into the role of providing supervision by amazing examples of mentorship on my own path. I can look back and attest with certainty to the empowering force of these relationships. So I wish to give back and share knowledge, expertise, humor and compassion with those called to be a healing presence in the lives of others.
