There is no ‘required’ schedule. However, as in any private practice setting you will find that many clients prefer to access therapy after hours or on the weekends and therefore some availability is preferred.
No. If you are completing your practicum with The Sereda Psychotherapy Group and providing services to our clients, the supervision required by your university for your practicum placement is provided at no cost to you.
Supervision for purposes outside the requirements of your practicum placement is not included and is not available through your Sereda Psychotherapy Group practicum supervisor during your placement. If you require additional supervision for another purpose, you will need to arrange this separately with an external supervisor.
Supervision is provided by Joy Sereda, Registered Psychotherapist, who meets CRPO supervision requirements and is recognized by both the CRPO and BCACC. Joy brings extensive experience as a clinical supervisor and offers supportive, structured, and development-focused supervision to help interns build confidence and competence in their clinical work.
