MANY LMSWS AND LGPCS FACE CHALLENGES EARLY ON IN THEIR CAREERS WITH SUPERVISION:
-
Supervision may be inconsistent or challenging to actually schedule
-
Supervisors are not in tune to your passions or interests; they are often going through a
set of requirements that designed for the many and not individualized -
Supervisors may be burnt out or disinterested in going beyond the minimum requirements to supervise you
-
The feedback you receive might isn't detailed or specialized and may leave you clinically stuck
-
You don't fully resonate with your supervisor's clinical approach and vice versa
-
You crave to learn more about other therapeutic modalities or approaches your supervisor isn't trained in
-
You don't receive enough supervision hours to meet your licensure requirements

ABOUT THE SUPERVISOR
Arielle Mesa
she/her
Hi! I'm Arielle. I've spent the last 11 years supporting people from all walks on their healing journey. Through my work in psychiatric hospitals, substance abuse treatment centers, community based mental health, clinical research hospitals and schools, private practices, I've learned a lot about how traditional approaches to mental health and well-being that often fall short in creating holistic and sustained healing for people. This awareness sparked my passion and interest in studying more holistic, somatic, and earth-based approaches to healing rooted in ancestral healing technologies that have been around for thousands of years.
In my studies and trainings, I've had the honor of mentoring with leading clinicians and teachers from around the world - clinical social workers, yoga therapists, holistic wellness professionals, shamanic practitioners, elders, and earth wisdom keepers . Each has imparted so much wisdom around therapeutic frameworks, practices, and skills that attend to the whole human - the mind, the body, the emotions, and the spirit - as well as the spheres that impact our health and well being - lived experience, institutional oppression, and ancestral transmission.
I am excited to finally offer the opportunity to share the weaving of this wisdom passed onto me with other clinical practitioners and therapists interested in blossoming and growing their clinical skillset to support the health and well being of our fellow humans, our more than human friends, and our planet.
“Action on behalf of life transforms. Because the relationship between self and the world is reciprocal, it is not a question of first getting enlightened or saved and then acting. As we work to heal the earth, the earth heals us.”
― Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass

WHY THIS MATTERS NOW
We live in a time where many of the "modern day" structures that have long been positioned as measurements of our "progress" as a society are actively crumbling. The roots of their true nature and intentions are being more fully and clearly revealed to us. We are learning more each and every day that they are not hear to serve ALL people or to serve ALL life.
These structures, these systemic forces are come from violent roots - capitalism, modernization, industrialization, slavery, genocide, colonization, indoctrinaton, religious imperialism, and oppression of all forms. The impact of these structures rooted in violence has created an ever growing and mounting wound within the mental emotional physical and spiritual spheres of health and wellness for humans, more than human kin, and our planet.
We as a species are approaching a threshold where something is going to have to give in order for us to drastically change and reconcile the trajectory of where these structures have and will continue to ultimately lead us. A part of this means reimagining what health and care ultimately mean for us. It also means reconnecting with and embodying collaborative, relationship-based practices rooted in reciprocity and symbiosis that supported the survival of our species, the animals, the plants and our planet for hundreds of thousands of years prior to the bronze age.
