I am a new member and an AMFT seeking a supervisor in private practice who may be a good fit to practice under. I am relocating to the Seal Beach/Long Beach area in a few months, but I am available to begin via telehealth immediately and expand into hybrid work this winter. I am looking for a supervisor who would be open to being reimbursed for supervision and any necessary overhead, while also negotiating a fair fee split or percentage. I am fully prepared to take on my own marketing and client outreach.

My professional journey has been deeply rooted in intuition, connection, and authenticity, as I am passionate about meeting clients where they are and supporting them in the discovery of their most authentic desires. I specialize in relationship issues (intimate, friendships, or family), couples, parenting support, ADHD in women, LGBTQ+ issues, life transitions, divorce, and recovery from domestic violence. I have a collaborative, client-centered style with a socioculturally attuned and feminist lens. As an integrative therapist, I ensure that each client receives care that is highly personalized, compassionate, and effective, drawing from EFT, IFS, psychodynamic, and CBT among other modalities. 

While I currently have over 750 hours accrued toward licensure, I remain eager to continue deepening my practice under supervision. I bring a wealth of lived and professional experience that grounds the way I show up for and collaborate with clients. I am deeply committed to ongoing inner work, and I believe I can only guide clients as far as I have been willing to go myself. 

Living in Europe and Central America has given me a deep appreciation for multicultural perspectives, and my previous career in education and grief work has further grounded me in compassion and presence. These experiences have also enriched my understanding of developmental needs, family systems and dynamics, and the nuance and challenges associated with many different life phases, providing me with unique insights. I carry all of this into my work, with authenticity, openness, and depth, creating a safe space for clients to process the complexities of life with nonpathologizing support.

I would love to connect with a supervisor who resonates with this approach and values collaboration, growth, and heart-centered work. Please feel free to reach out if this feels like a potential fit.

Thank you so much,

Krista Rae

Come join us for this casual get-together of therapists to socialize, get out of our offices & support each other in the challenging work we do – with real live people, not via Zoom! Those of you who joined us at a previous party know how much FUN we have at these very lively get-togethers so come reconnect with friends and colleagues you haven’t seen in a while as well as meeting some new folks. You don’t even need to RSVP, just show up.

If there are others you would like to invite, feel free to let them know - the more therapists the better! Hennessey's sets up a large area for us so there's room for everyone. More info at: https://www.facebook.com/events/956924216580479
