Washington Approved Supervisor

Professional portrait of Dr. Cristina Louk, owner of Peace Humanistic Therapy, providing neurodiversity-affirming care and somatic trauma therapy in Woodinville.

"I’m struggling to find a supervisor who understands how overwhelming it can be to juggle client care while trying to build and manage a successful private practice."


"I’m finding it difficult to find a supervisor who really understands ADHD and trauma, and it’s leaving me unsure how to fully support my clients with these complex challenges."


"I’m having a hard time finding a supervisor with experience in assessments who can guide me in building the skills I need to provide accurate and meaningful results for my clients."


Guidance for the Next Generation of Therapists

Navigating the path to independent licensure can feel overwhelming. At Peace Humanistic Therapy, I provide clinical supervision for associates (LMHCA, LICSWA, and LMFTA) who are looking for more than just a "case consult."

Grounded in a humanistic and person-centered framework, my approach to supervision integrates clinical skill-building, ethical practice, and deep self-reflection. Whether you are working toward your Washington state licensure hours or seeking to specialize in ADHD, trauma, or somatic modalities, I offer a supportive space to grow your professional identity.

past experiences

Agency internships can be frustrating, especially when you’re craving more freedom and autonomy in your work. It’s tough to feel like your hands are tied by strict protocols or overwhelming caseloads, leaving little room to focus on truly making a difference for your clients. Many therapists in this position find themselves wondering if there’s a way to create a practice that aligns with their values and passions while still gaining the experience they need. If you’re ready to break free from these limitations and explore a path where you can grow professionally while feeling more connected to the impact of your work, we’re here to help guide you.

who we supervise

Clinical supervision and preceptorship are offered to pre-licensed and early-career mental health providers in Washington State who are seeking supportive, ethical, and growth-oriented guidance. Supervision is grounded in a humanistic, trauma-informed, and developmentally responsive approach, designed to support both clinical skill development and professional identity formation.

Supervision and preceptorship services are available for:

  • Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associates (LMHCAs) working toward full licensure in Washington State

  • Early-career clinicians and providers seeking consultation and structured clinical support

  • Providers working with trauma, complex trauma (C-PTSD), ADHD, neurodivergent populations, and emotional regulation challenges

  • Clinicians serving adolescents and adults in outpatient, community mental health, or private practice settings

  • Providers interested in integrative, relational, depth-oriented, and trauma-informed approaches to care

  • Clinicians seeking supervision or preceptorship that emphasizes ethical decision-making, scope of practice awareness, and clinical judgment

Supervision may be especially supportive for providers who feel overwhelmed, uncertain, or professionally isolated, and who value a relationship that emphasizes reflection, curiosity, accountability, and compassion rather than performance or perfectionism.

Supervisees are welcomed from diverse clinical backgrounds and identities. All supervision and preceptorship are offered in a culturally responsive, affirming, and respectful manner, while maintaining high standards of professional responsibility, collaboration, and client care.

Dr. Cristina Louk, LMHC, supporting clinician development and mentorship.

Supervision at Peace Humanistic Therapy is rooted in a person-centered, humanistic approach that views the supervisee as a whole person—not just a clinician in training. This approach emphasizes authentic relationship, reflective practice, and collaborative learning, creating a supervisory space where growth, confidence, and clinical competence can develop naturally.

Supervision is grounded in the belief that clinicians do their best work when they feel seen, supported, and respected. Rather than focusing solely on techniques or performance, supervision attends to the supervisee’s lived experience, professional identity development, and emotional responses to clinical work. This includes thoughtful exploration of countertransference, ethical decision-making, and the impact of systemic and relational dynamics on the therapeutic process.

A trauma-informed and developmentally responsive lens is integrated throughout supervision, recognizing that both clients and clinicians are shaped by their histories, nervous systems, and environments. Supervision is paced intentionally, with attention to safety, sustainability, and the realities of working with complex clinical presentations such as trauma, ADHD, neurodivergence, and emotional dysregulation.

Within this person-centered framework, supervision also includes structured guidance, clinical consultation, and skill development. Evidence-based practices, case conceptualization, documentation, and scope-of-practice considerations are addressed in a way that supports ethical, competent, and confident clinical care.

Whether through individual supervision or preceptorship, the goal is to foster reflective, self-aware, and resilient clinicians who can practice with integrity, compassion, and clarity.
