Kelci E. is a fully licensed therapist in Texas. When she created the Supervision Journal and the Supervision Planner she was a provisional licensed therapist. She graduated with her Master's in Clinical Mental Health in 2019 at the University of Mary Hardin Baylor (UMHB) and received her Provisional license in the middle of the pandemic April 2020. Kelci like the rest of the world began to try to figure things out. Soon, she created LaMe Essentials from the experience of poor supervision matching during the pandemic. Kelci understood poor supervision matching was possible but never thought she would have to encounter it. After experiencing seven months of poor supervision and changing to a better-fit supervisor, she wanted to create a way to have supervision be more effective and not just another hour of coming up with something to talk about. 

After thinking of effective strategies and techniques Kelci thought of others who were also having this same concern of supervision not being effective. This passion soon developed into what is now known as The Supervision Journal. The Supervision Journal provides thought-provoking questions and habits to assist provisional clinicians in self-awareness, communication, clinician identity, trust building, and ways to be effective in supervision while partnering with their supervisor. The supervision journal helps supervision be more then just another hour to becoming fully licensed, it is another way to make supervision productive and fulfilling. This supervision journal allows you, the clinician to track your development as a clinician, and work towards who you desire yourself to be as a clinicians. Kelci really enjoyed enhancing her supervision experience with her supervision journal and hopes you find it helpful and invigorating to your supervision encounters too.
