Licensure Supervision

Becoming a licensed therapist is a challenging road. You deserve to feel supported so you can take risks and grow into a confident clinician and professional. As an AAMFT Approved Supervisor, Sarah offers supervision towards licensure for those on track to become LMFTs in Tennessee and LPC candidates* who can accept more non-LPC licensure hours. *Note this rule is expected to change in early 2025.

Our work is joyous. Sarah wants to help you find your unique identity as a clinician. She will promote your confidence and growth as a therapist, while also challenging you to expand your perspective and your capacity for empathy and doing hard things.

Supervision Services

As of February, 2025, Sarah is offering periodic one day supervision intensives only. See below for dates and details.

Please check back for additional offerings, as the state board is due to approve new supervision rules soon, and this may alter or guide offerings in 2025.

Sarah’s Experiential Group Supervision

Using tools from drama therapy, Psychodrama, Gestalt, Somatic Experiencing and the expressive arts, we will work together to explore cases, clinical questions and concepts, and person of the therapist issues in an experiential way. By applying these tools to ourselves and our clinical experiences, we deepen our familiarity with experiential and creative ways of working, while also finding new sides of ourselves and learning about clinical work in new ways.

Supervision Fees & Reports

Fees: In accordance with the policies set forth by the State of Tennessee as of August 21, 2023, all supervisors must obtain notarization of supervision forms when the supervisee has completed their supervision hours.

  • Sarah Rodgers, LMFT charges $25 to complete the notarized hours form within two weeks of request via an online notary and will return it via email as a pdf. This amount covers the notary fee charged by the notary service.

  • For a rush turnaround option, Sarah Rodgers charges $50 in order to return it within 2 business days of request, via the same digital notary and email delivery described above.

  • Supervisor Reports: The supervisor will provide a summary of the supervisee’s clinical contact hours and supervision hours to the state board for the purpose of certifying the completion of supervision under this contract, as part of the application for license. This involves providing the supervisee with a notarized hours form, letter of verification (if requested by the board), and Sarah Rodgers' AAMFT-Approved Supervisor Certificate. This documentation will be provided to each supervisee upon completion of their supervision hours, as indicated by the individual supervisee. The supervisee is responsible for documenting all clinical and supervisory hours independently of the supervisor’s documentation.

Group Supervision Liability Statement

Sarah Rodgers, LMFT/Creative Counseling Nashville, PLLC, provides adjunct group supervision only and is not the primary supervisor for any group supervisees. Due to the nature of group supervision being sporadic and adjunctive, Sarah Rodgers, LMFT does not track individual supervisee client progress over time, does not have access to any EHR or client notes, and is not liable or responsible for individual client case formulation or clinical skill application in individual clinical cases. While we do sometimes cover individual cases in group supervision, it is with the learning goal of gathering more perspectives on an existing question, exploring person of the therapist issues related to the case, or using the case as an example for broader thematic learning. At no time is Sarah Rodgers, LMFT, serving as the primary supervisor of any clinical cases. This group is adjunctive support only.

By registering for group supervision with Sarah Rodgers/Creative Counseling Nashville, PLLC, you (supervisee) agree to these limitations of liability, past, present or future, of Sarah Rodgers, LMFT’s group supervision services. Moreover, you (supervisee) affirm you have a qualified individual supervisor who serves as your registered supervisor with the state board and primary clinical support with individual client cases, with whom you meet regularly.
