Clinical Supervision for Texas LPC Associates
Trauma-Informed Mentorship in the Rio Grande Valley & Across Texas
You became a therapist to help people. You deserve a mentor who's invested in the clinician you're becoming, not just one who signs off on your hours.

Your supervisor is going to be a part of your life for the next 3,000 hours.
That's two years. Maybe three. Through the clients who challenge you, the cases that scare you, the moments you doubt yourself, and the slow buildup of confidence that turns "associate" into "clinician."
It's a long relationship. The right supervisor shapes the therapist you become. The wrong one becomes a calendar event you dread.
So before you commit, the questions worth sitting with:
Is this someone who can mentor me through the ups and downs of my first professional years?
Are they going to be genuinely supportive, or are they going to phone it in?
Do they keep up with current research, or are they teaching what they learned a decade ago?
Do they understand how AI is already reshaping our profession?
Do they have the clinical experience to walk me through complex trauma cases?
When I bring something hard to a session, will they actually know what to do with it?
These are the questions that separate a supervisor who signs your form from one who actually shapes your career.
You deserve a yes to all of them.
Most supervision isn't bad. It's just often not enough.
Many supervisors are doing their best with the bandwidth they have. Most supervisors have full caseloads, busy practices, more supervisees than they can truly handle. Supervision becomes a thing that happens between client sessions: a quick signature, a few thoughts on the case, the hour over before it really started.
If supervision is just where you log your hours, you're not in a mentorship. You're in a paperwork relationship.
You deserve more than that.
How supervision with me is different
Trauma-Informed Clinical Depth
Working with clients who have experienced trauma is my specialty. I will teach you to look deeper than the symptom. You will learn tools to calm the client's nervous system, explore their attachment story, and how to conceptualize the treatment plan You'll learn to approach the client like a trauma-informed clinician
. Learning the Business of Private Practice Readiness
Most supervisors won't teach you fee-setting, niche selection, marketing, or paperwork systems. I will. If you are interested in going directly into private practice or thinking about it some day you will have the information available so you're not starting from zero.
AI Literacy for the Therapy You'll Actually Practice in 2027 and Beyond
The field is changing. Your clients are already using ChatGPT between sessions. Documentation tools are everywhere. The ethics codes are being rewritten in real time. We cover what to use, what to avoid, where the lines are, and how to stay clinically sharp in an evolving field.
Eight Supervisees Maximum. Always.
I cap at eight because real mentorship doesn't scale. You're not going to get lost in a roster of twenty or thirty. You're going to get seen and supported.
Hi, I’m Keely.
Keely Rodriguez
LPC-S | Certified EMDR & Brainspotting Therapist | LCDC
I'm Keely Rodriguez, LPC-S, Certified EMDR & Brainspotting Therapist, and LCDC. I run a private practice serving women in Brownsville, the Rio Grande Valley, and online across Texas. I help women struggling with anxiety, trauma, grief, betrayal trauma, and perimenopause-related mental health shifts.
I supervise because I remember what it felt like to be an associate. In my experience I had limited mentorship. Wasted hours watching the clock. A supervisor with minimal real world clinical expertise. Looking back, that cost me more than I realized at the time
I often had to figure it out on my own. I learned through years of doing the work, getting it wrong, and figuring out what actually held up under pressure.
I'd rather give you a faster path than that.
What you'll get from working with me: a supervisor who actually reads your notes, asks questions, gives you frameworks you'll use for the rest of your career, and prepares you for a field that's going to look meaningfully different in five years than it does today.
Most LPC-S supervisors have not figured out how to talk to associates about AI. Some don't want to acknowledge its impact. Others outsource the conversation to a podcast.
That's a problem. Because the clients you're seeing right now are already using ChatGPT to process their week between sessions. The notes you're writing are increasingly going to be assisted by AI tools. The ethics codes are being rewritten in real time. By 2027, the LPC profession will look meaningfully different from what your master's program prepared you for.
You don't need to become a tech expert. You need to be the kind of clinician who can think clearly about all of this, ethically, practically, and from a position of confidence rather than fear.
That's why it’s important to have a supervisor who is up to date with all the changes and ready to talk about it.
A field that's changing. Supervisors who aren't.

The field is changing fast. If you go into this field (even if you don’t currently want to go into private practice) you will need some business skills. If you go in without AI literacy, you'll be reacting to client questions instead of leading them. Both are clinical issues, not extras.
