What does it mean when my therapist says they are "supervised"?

• "Supervision" in mental health training refers to the fact that graduate students in training are not yet licensed to provide mental health services independently. Therefore, a licensed faculty member is assigned who oversees the student's clinical work. The clinical supervisor is legally and ethically responsible for the student clinician's clinical activities. All students are required to either audio or videotape each session they conduct. This requirement provides the supervisor important information about the student's skill development and allows for optimizing the quality of care.
