The Unmasked Therapist: Clinical Supervision for The Authentic Therapist
Supervision that empowers therapists to bring authenticity into every session
At Keystone Therapy Group, we believe the therapy you provide starts with the therapist you are. When supervision is rooted in authenticity, it lays the foundation for ethical, effective, and confident therapy.
Our Unmasked Therapist Clinical Supervision and Consultation Programs guide early career counselors and therapists through the personal work necessary to:
Resident Clinical Supervision Group
Connect with a group of licensed residents while earning supervision hours for independent Virginia Licensure (LPC or LMFT). Conversations are grounded in the person-of-the-therapist model, focusing on how your unique perspective and identity impacts how you show up for clients, coworkers, and yourself.
Spring Group led by Kaitlyn Steel, LMFT
Summer Group led by Kim Rippy, LPC
Newly Licensed Consultation Group
Connect with a group of early-career therapists to explore conversations grounded in authenticity, professional goals, personal development, specialization, starting a practice, networking & referrals, client care, and more!

Testimonials From Our Supervisees

with Kaitlyn Steel, LMFT
“This group has been extremely helpful and rewarding! I have loved the process-focused style.“
Resident Clinical Supervision Group | Fall 2025
with Kaitlyn Steel, LMFT
“This is a great place to get a different experience from supervision. My other supervision groups have been wonderful for treatment planning, interventions, and clinical work. But this one is a much needed space to process my own personal role in all of that work and ‘debrief’ about my own thoughts, feelings, perceptions during the process. I didn’t realize how needed it was!“
