AEDP Supervision
for Therapists and Supervisors
I offer AEDP supervision for both therapists and supervisors. In general, my approach to supervision balances left and right brain learning; this means that we will attend to your internal experience, support your faith in yourself and stay rooted in the theory and practice of AEDP.
Overall, my style is warm, supportive, and playful at times. I believe that play and laughter make it easier to explore and make mistakes. One of my current passions is to support all of us - myself included! - in letting go of perfectionism and embracing learning as a process.
In addition to learning about the model, one of my main goals in supervision is to support you in fully stepping into being your best AEDP therapist (or supervisor) self. For me, this means helping you to expand into being that unique self – not a copy of me or a faculty member or even Diana. Because no one can be you, and I maintain a deep faith in the importance of you bringing you to this work.
Some other details about me: I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Nationally Certified Counselor and have been in practice for more than 20 years in Charlottesville, Virginia. Here in Virginia, I have been instrumental in growing a robust regional community of AEDP therapists; in that role, I have served as president and vice president of our local AEDP steering committee. I currently serve as the Chair of AEDP Supervisors and am a member of the AEDP Supervisor Review Committee.
Finally, although I have a specialty practice treating young adults and young professionals (you can check out my Transformance journal article that details how I have adapted AEDP for young adults), I have years of experience working with supervisees who treat clients of all ages
If you are interested in exploring working together, I offer a free 20-minute Zoom chat. Just shoot me an email to connect!
Rates: My rate is $160/session.
Wendy has been tremendously helpful in building my skill and confidence. From the get go, I felt her attunement and accompaniment in helping me get the supervision that worked best for my own specific needs and way of being. Not only have I learned about myself as a supervisor, but I've also had new revelations about myself as a person that have further helped me grow. So glad to have been connected with Wendy!
As a supervisor, Wendy brings her mastery of AEDP in a down-to-earth and approachable way. She brings AEDP concepts to life as we reflect on my videos and practice experientially together in our sessions.
Wendy [also] teaches me that delight and joy can co-exist with serious, transformational learning and growth.
Receiving supervision and sharing my videos always feels vulnerable, and Wendy’s kindness and warmth helps me to feel at ease. Her witnessing and teaching guides me to see my strengths and the unique and positive ways I practice AEDP, alongside whatever growing edge I may be focusing on.
After supervision sessions, I feel supported, encouraged and excited to try new things.
