Jessie Timmons, LCSW, is a seasoned therapist, clinical supervisor, and teacher of social work with experience in addressing both mental illness and addictive disorders. She has been an adjunct and full-time instructor at Temple University and served for 10 years on the board of the Pennsylvania Society for Clinical Social Work (PSCSW), including one term as president. Her teaching and professional development have focused on ethical and competent clinical social work practice, social determinants of health, and effective treatment and assessment of presenting client concerns.

Course Description (Day 1): This interactive day lays the groundwork for effective and ethical clinical supervision by exploring supervision as a distinct professional practice, separate from therapy, management, or teaching. Participants will gain a clear understanding of the roles, responsibilities, and functions of the supervisor, including administrative, educational, and supportive components. Through engaging discussion and applied activities, attendees will examine major supervision models and theoretical frameworks, assessing their benefits and limitations in diverse practice settings. The day emphasizes self-awareness and adaptability, helping supervisors tailor their approach to supervisees’ learning styles and theoretical orientations. Participants will also deepen their understanding of cultural humility, exploring how identity, power, and privilege influence the supervisory relationship. By the end of the day, attendees will have developed a strong conceptual foundation and practical tools to guide meaningful and equitable supervision.

The training explores documentation and record-keeping standards, balancing administrative compliance with clinical depth and relevance. Through observation exercises, live or simulated feedback, and case-based learning, participants will strengthen their skills in evaluation, conflict management, and reflective practice.
