Supervision isn’t about managing people—it’s about sustaining them.

Supervision isn’t about managing people — it’s about sustaining them. In this solo episode, Dr. Amy Parks explores sustainable supervision, leadership capacity, and how supervisors can help clinicians stay ethical, engaged, and well over time.

In this solo episode, Dr. Amy Parks closes out 2025 with a powerful leadership reframe for supervisors, directors, and practice owners in mental health. If you’ve ever felt the quiet weight of carrying too much responsibility, absorbing system pressure, or watching good clinicians burn out despite “doing everything right,” this episode is for you.
Amy explores what sustainable supervision actually looks like, why management models fail in mental health settings, and how nervous system regulation, psychological safety, and ethical leadership are deeply connected. This conversation goes beyond productivity and performance to focus on capacity, cost, and long-term wellbeing—for clinicians and supervisors alike.

As Supervision Simplified looks ahead to 2026, this episode sets the tone for a new year rooted in sustainability, clarity, and connection.
