Clinical Supervision

What is an AAMFT Approved Supervisor?

AAMFT Approved Supervisors are seasoned clinicians who have completed specialized training in supervision and are recognized for their expertise in training the next generation of marriage and family therapists. They serve as mentors and guides, supporting supervisees in building on their strengths, developing clinical confidence, and deepening their therapeutic work. Supervision is a collaborative learning space that fosters growth, reflection, and strong ethical practice in marriage and family therapy (MFT).

Allen is an AAMFT Approved Supervisor providing Clinical Supervision to pre-licensed clinicians pursuing their LMFT. He also provides AAMFT Approved Supervisor Mentorship for systemic supervisors pursuing their Approved Supervisor designation.

  • "Having been trained by Allen, I can say he helped shape the therapist I am today. With his depth of experience, he is somehow able to be both clinically confident and refreshingly down to earth, bringing genuine warmth, humility, and curiosity to his work."

    Danielle Costanzo, LMFT

  • “Allen was my supervisor in graduate school and continues to be a source of clinical knowledge that I continuously turn to. His ability to validate and then turn that validation into an action forward is such a strength to his colleagues and clients!“

    Kathy O’Hearn, LAMFT

  • “Allen was my supervisor during my internship and I will always keep his lessons close to my heart and work. Being a client of Allen's, you will get his most authentic self - he brings a light to therapy spaces. I could not recommend him more.“

    Logan Falk, LAPC
