As a Qualified Supervisor, Dr. Ellis aims to provide supervisees with a deeper appreciation for relationship development, therapeutic curiosity, ethical decision making, and multicultural perspectives, all which impact both supervisory and counseling relationships. This is accomplished by providing and overseeing a wide range of supervisory experiences.
