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 quality supervision is the foundation of ethical, effective, and confident clinical practice. Our Clinical Supervision Program is designed to guide residents and provisionally licensed therapists through the personal work required to throw away the belief that we have to be a “blank slate” for our clients, and feel confident stepping into sessions as your true authentic self-of-the-therapist, kicking imposter syndrome and burn out to the curb.
Whether you’re working toward your LPC or LMFT license in Virginia, our supervision program offers personalized guidance, advanced clinical training, and real-world professional development that equips you to succeed in today’s mental health field. Our goal is to empower residents to become skilled clinicians and make a positive impact on their clients and communities.
Real Testimonials From Our Supervisees

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!“
