Supervision & mentorship

01 / Clinical formation

Supervision is not only about what to do next.

Good supervision attends to theory, ethics, intervention, and case formulation, but it also asks who the therapist is becoming. Clinical work continually evokes our attachment histories, protective strategies, longings, certainties, and blind spots. These are not distractions from technique. When approached honestly, they become part of the therapist’s instrument.

Brian brings more than thirty years of clinical practice, over 50,000 hours of therapeutic work, extensive experience training therapists, and a deeply integrative orientation. Supervision and mentorship are collaborative and developmentally attuned: rigorous without humiliation, relational without losing clarity, and spacious enough for uncertainty, complexity, and the limits of what any model can explain.

02 / How we may work

From case consultation to the deeper arc of practice.

• Complex case formulation through attachment, developmental, experiential, systemic, and neurobiological lenses
• Working with enactment, transference, countertransference, rupture, and repair
• Developing greater capacity to remain present with intense affect without rescuing, controlling, or withdrawing
• Integrating IFS, AEDP, interpersonal neurobiology, somatic awareness, and differentiation without reducing clients to a model
• Ethical discernment and clinical thinking in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy
• Exploring the therapist’s use of self, professional identity, limits, and evolving clinical voice

The emphasis is on increasing freedom and discernment rather than producing formulaic answers. The goal is a therapist who can think clearly, feel deeply, tolerate not knowing, recognize their own participation in the field, and respond to the person in front of them.

03 / A professional home

Introducing Sanctuary / EITI.

Sanctuary: Experiential & Integrative Therapy Institute is an emerging clinical and training community devoted to the art, science, and soul of psychotherapy. Sanctuary is where clinical work is practiced; EITI is where therapists are formed and the work is studied, developed, and transmitted.

The larger vision is a clinical home for clients and a professional home for therapists—a living culture in which people heal and clinicians mature through relationship, mentorship, community, rigorous clinical thinking, embodied practice, and attention to the therapist’s own development.
