Supervision with Dr. Celeste McClannahan

Hi, I’m Celeste

My approach to supervision is collaborative, developmental, and grounded in attachment. I believe clinicians grow best when they feel safe enough to be honest, curious, and human. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can ask difficult questions, explore your growing edges, recognize your strengths, and develop confidence in your own clinical voice.

Supervision with me is not simply about reviewing cases or accumulating hours. It is about helping you become a thoughtful, ethical, competent, and sustainable therapist. We will explore what is happening with your clients, what is happening within the therapeutic relationship, and how your own experiences and emotional responses may influence your work.

  • I provide clinical consultation for therapists seeking support with couples therapy, sex therapy, attachment-based work, mental load, and private-practice development.
  • I am a Washington State approved supervisor.
  • I am an AAMFT Supervisor Candidate working toward the Approved Supervisor designation.
  • I provide supervision for Washington State LMFTA and LMHCA.
  • I provide supervision and mentorship for graduate-level clinical interns.

I specialize in:

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy and attachment-based case conceptualization
  • Couples and relationship therapy
  • Sex therapy and sexual-health concerns
  • Mental load, relational imbalance, and emotional disconnection
  • Working with first responders, military members, and their partners
  • Supporting clinicians in developing their professional identity
  • Building and managing an ethical private practice
  • Therapist wellness, boundaries, and career sustainability

I view supervision as a relationship in which support and accountability work together. I will encourage you, challenge you, celebrate your growth, and help you think carefully about your responsibilities to your clients and the profession. You do not need to arrive with all the answers. Supervision is where we slow down, remain curious, and work together to discover them.

My hope is that you leave supervision feeling more grounded, more capable, and increasingly confident in the therapist you are becoming.

When working with me, you will learn how to:

  • Conceptualize individuals, couples, and relational systems through an attachment lens
  • Recognize the emotional patterns underlying a client’s presenting concerns
  • Identify and respond to cycles of disconnection between partners
  • Use Emotionally Focused Therapy interventions with greater confidence and intentionality
  • Approach sexuality and intimacy concerns with competence, openness, and sensitivity
  • Navigate ethical dilemmas, documentation, risk assessment, and professional boundaries
  • Understand how your own attachment experiences and emotional responses may enter the therapy room
  • Develop your authentic identity and style as a therapist
  • Receive feedback without losing sight of your existing strengths
  • Establish realistic goals for continued clinical and professional growth
  • Build a caseload, market yourself ethically, understand billing, and develop the practical skills needed for private practice
  • Create a career that is both meaningful and sustainable

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.

  • I provide supervision to associate level clinicians (SWs, MFTs, MHCs)
  • I provide consultation to fully licensed clinicians

I specialize in:

  • Individual and relationship therapy
  • Sex therapy
  • Out of control behavioral patterns, addictive behaviors
  • In my therapeutic clinical work, I utilize emotionally focused therapy (EFT, EFIT) and psychodynamic approach.

Along with this, I have extensive experience in emergency behavioral health, as an ER clinician, addressing suicidal and homicidal ideation, psychotic behaviors, and substance use issues in a crisis setting.

Based on this, I gladly offer support and expertise in:

  • Navigating crisis and assessing/managing risk
  • What level of intervention is appropriate for a client
  • What they can expect from their engagement with the higher levels of the behavioral health care system
  • Collaboration with other interdisciplinary professionals
  • Secondary and exposure trauma
