Christie LeBeau

I am an AAMFT Approved Supervisor with 12 years of clinical experience and 6 years of supervision experience, and I am currently a doctoral candidate in Counseling Education and Supervision. I am also a Certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapist and Approved Consultant, with advanced training in applying Polyvagal Theory within clinical practice.

Supervision is my favorite part of my work each week.

Choosing a supervisor is an important and deeply relational decision. Supervision asks you to allow yourself to be seen in moments of uncertainty, discomfort, mistakes, emotional reactions, and growing pains as you develop your identity as a therapist. I strive to create a supervision space where you can bring all of that forward openly — a space where you are witnessed with both compassion and accountability.

If we work together, you can expect supervision to be both relational and reflective. We will absolutely talk about interventions, ethics, and case conceptualization, but I believe supervision is about far more than learning techniques. It is about learning to know yourself, trust yourself, and then use yourself in the therapeutic relationship while developing confidence, cultural humility, reflexivity, authenticity, and clinical presence.

My clinical and supervisory approach is grounded in Attachment Theory, Relational–Cultural Theory, and developmental models of learning and growth. I use the Self of the Therapist or Self-as-instrument supervision framework.

I currently offer fully remote primary and secondary supervision in both individual and group formats. I do not provide employment or agency placement; rather, I offer a reflective supervision relationship in which the emotional experiences, uncertainties, identities, and relational dynamics that emerge in clinical work can be thoughtfully explored together, without the fears that can come with being vulnerable in your place of employment.

I value authenticity in relationships, which means I show up as me in our weekly meetings: casual in presentation but intentional and serious when it comes to ethics, boundaries, accountability, and your growth as a therapist. I may show up to supervision in torn jeans and a hoodie, but I will also be prepared and engaged, and I expect the same from you. I curse. I believe meaningful supervision happens through honesty, humor, reflection, and genuine connection, so we will laugh, cry, and allow for mad.
