How Do I Get Started:
The foundation of any collaborative agreement is grounded in the strength of the relationship between Supervisor and Supervisee. To this end, Mrs. Wilcox offers 30 minute consultations (at no cost) for all potential Licensure Supervisees. During this consultation the practice style and expectations of both parties can be discussed. At that point a mutual decision can be made as to whether or not it is appropriate to move forward with establishing a formal licensure contract.
