Free on both sides
Supervision and mentorship.
Every associate therapist in the country needs supervised hours. Every new nurse practitioner needs someone to call. Right now people find both through a group chat and a lot of luck. This is a real place to look.
Associates and residents
Supervised hours toward LCSW, LMFT, LPC, LMHC, and psychology licensure, with the format, the frequency, and the fee stated openly rather than negotiated in the dark.
Nurse practitioners and PAs
Mentors, collaborating physicians, and clinicians who remember what the first year felt like. Especially for new psychiatric nurse practitioners, where the learning curve is steep and lonely.
Anyone starting a practice
The part nobody trained you for. Setting a cash rate, getting credentialed, writing a no show policy, deciding whether to take insurance at all.
Who's offering supervision
Same rule as the rest of the site. Every listing here was confirmed by the supervisor within the last six months, and it disappears if it goes stale.
These come from clinicians who marked supervision or mentorship on their listing. Requirements for supervision and collaboration vary by state and by board, so confirm what your own board accepts before you agree to anything. HandshakeMD takes no fee and no commission from either side.
If you're the one supervising
Adding it to your listing takes about a minute, and it costs nothing.
- Say which licenses you can supervise toward, and in which states
- Say the format. Individual, group, in person, video, or a mix
- Post the fee, or say it's free, rather than making people ask
- Say how many people you can take right now, and keep it current
Supervision is how a profession replaces itself. Charging people to find it always felt like the wrong business to be in.
Common questions
How do I find a supervisor for licensure hours?
Filter by your discipline and your state, then contact the supervisor directly. There's no intermediary, no application fee, and no cut taken by us. Confirm with your board that the supervisor's credentials meet the requirement before you start counting hours.
Can a new nurse practitioner find a mentor here?
Yes. That's one of the main reasons we built this. Collaboration and supervision requirements for NPs vary a lot by state, so check what your own board requires and put that in writing with whoever you work with.
Does HandshakeMD take a cut?
No. No fee, no commission, no referral payment, ever. Whatever a supervisor charges is between the two of you, and we ask them to post it openly on the listing so nobody has to guess.
Is supervision the same as a clinical consultation group?
No, and we label them separately. Supervision counts toward licensure and carries responsibility for the supervisee's work. Consultation is peer to peer and doesn't count toward hours. Both are listed here, and each says which it is.
