Supervision from therapists who treat trauma every week
Colorado LPC Supervision provides online trauma clinical supervision for LPCCs, MFTCs and ADDCs from therapists who treat trauma in their own caseloads. Individual supervision is $150 per supervision hour, and online groups are $50 per supervision hour. Hours count toward Colorado licensure when the supervisor and format qualify.

Who is trauma supervision for?
Trauma tends to show up in your caseload before you feel ready for it. This kind of supervision is a good fit if you’re:
- An LPCC or MFTC at a community mental health center seeing high-acuity clients
- Working in residential treatment or another setting with a lot of complex trauma
- An ADDC seeing how trauma and substance use feed each other
- Building a private practice and hoping to focus on trauma
- Working with a supervisor who’s great in other areas but doesn’t treat much trauma
What can you bring to trauma supervision?
Bring your hardest cases. Your supervisor sees clients every week and will tell you what they’d do. Supervisees often want help with questions like these:
- Is this client ready for trauma processing, or do we need more stabilization first?
- What do I do when a client starts dissociating in session?
- How do I handle safety concerns and reporting questions?
- How do I work with domestic violence in a couple or family?
- How do I work with children and teens who’ve been abused?
- How do I document this case well?
- Why is this client staying with me after work, and what do I do about it?
- When should I refer out?

Our team has heavy experience with PTSD, trauma and family therapy. We don’t specialize in military trauma, and we’ll tell you if a case calls for someone else.
Do trauma supervision hours count toward licensure?
Yes, when your supervisor and the format qualify. The Colorado rules we reviewed don’t create a separate trauma track, so these hours count the same way as your other clinical supervision.
- LPCCs and MFTCs need 100 supervision hours at the 2,000-hour minimum, with at least 50 individual. See the LPC requirements and LMFT requirements.
- ADDCs working toward the LAC average 2 hours of supervision a month. See the LAC requirements.
Make sure you’re paying for supervision and not consultation. Colorado’s rule says time under a consultation contract won’t be credited toward supervision.
Should you choose individual or group trauma supervision?
Many supervisees use both, because Colorado requires individual hours and group hours cost less.
| Individual | Online group | |
|---|---|---|
| Rate | $150 per supervision hour | $50 per supervision hour |
| Size | Just you and your supervisor | 10 or fewer |
| Schedule | By appointment | Each group meets monthly and counts as 2 supervision hours |
| Best for | Detailed work on your own cases | Hearing how other candidates handle similar cases |
Most of our groups mix license types, and some are specialty groups. Ask us what’s running. Our rates page has the full cost math.
Common questions about trauma supervision
Is trauma supervision the same as EMDR consultation?
No. Clinical supervision counts toward your Colorado license. EMDR consultation counts toward EMDRIA certification, and EMDRIA says the same hours shouldn’t be counted toward both.
Do you need EMDR training before you start?
No. The Colorado rules we reviewed don’t require it for supervision. If you’re interested in EMDR, your supervisor can talk through whether and when it makes sense for your work.
Can you add a trauma supervisor if you already have a supervisor at work?
Yes. Colorado’s LPC and MFT rules allow more than one supervisor. Each one needs to qualify and keep records of the hours they supervise.
Can trauma supervision be online?
Yes. Colorado allows LPC, LMFT and LAC supervision in person or by telesupervision. Almost everyone chooses online, and individual in-person meetings are available in the Denver metro.
