Frequently Asked Questions

What is Professional Development?

Professional development for pre-licensed and licensed therapists looking for additional support, guidance and or mentorship to grow their clinical identity and knowledge. Pivotal Psychotherapy & Development attempts to bridge the gap from graduate school through the professional span of one's career.

Our services provide tailored supervision, clinical support, and professional development to help you grow in confidence and skill. You’ll gain deeper clinical insight, practical strategies, and a reliable resource for ongoing learning, ethical guidance, and career sustainability. Our aim is to inspire a renewed sense of optimism and excitement for your work, helping to reduce burnout and reignite your passion. With increased confidence, you’ll experience greater success with your clients and a deeper eagerness to keep learning and growing in the ever-evolving field of psychology.

What are the Costs for Supervision and Mentoring?

We offer a range of supervision and mentorship programs at competitive pricing, designed to be accessible to therapists at different stages of their careers. The costs vary depending on the duration and type of program. Please reach out for detailed information on pricing.

Why should I invest in this verses just use my clinic consults or talk with my peers?

Great question! You don’t have to—there are many wonderful clinicians and free support groups available, and we encourage you to explore those options. However, have you ever hesitated to join a space, feeling unsure or intimidated? Have you ever asked a question only to be met with judgment or surprise that you didn’t already know the answer?

Professional spaces—whether with new or experienced clinicians—can sometimes feel daunting, and we want to change that. At Pivotal Psychotherapy, we prioritize creating a safe, supportive environment where you can show up authentically. Visibility can be challenging, but having a space where you feel valued and encouraged makes all the difference.

Beyond that, our support is tailored specifically to your goals and needs. This is about your professional growth—deepening your understanding of theory and skills, and giving you the time and guidance to explore them with confidence. Your investment is in a space designed for you to thrive.

How can your services help me develop my professional identity?

Together, we will assess your professional goals, passions, and interests to create a personalized plan that connects you with current literature, relevant trainings, and like-minded professionals in the field. Our goal is to help you discover—or rediscover—your professional identity and reignite the passion that first drew you to this work.

Do you offer guidance on managing and keeping a full caseload?

Yes! We offer individualized support to help you navigate administrative responsibilities, maintain a balanced caseload, and develop strategies to sustain a fulfilling career.

What resources are available for continued learning?

We help you access relevant trainings, research, and literature tailored to your professional goals, ensuring you stay informed and continue to grow as a clinician. You'll also have access to worksheets, workbooks, and other published materials (both free and for purchase) to support your development. In the future, Pivotal Psychotherapy & Development aims to offer specialized trainings focused on specific needs, demographics, and in-depth discussions that go beyond what's typically covered in most graduate programs.
