Supervision Services: As a doctor with multiple clinical specialties and advanced training and experiences, Dr. Morris continues to be interested in taking on psychologist, professional counselor, marital and family therapist, and substance abuse counselor trainees that are exceptional students and highly motivated to become elite psychotherapists that are requiring supervision for full licensure or specialty certification or board specialty supervision. Application for these services require a submitted resume, goals and motivation letter, and an interview. Supervision requires case reviews, theoretical discussions and reviews, technique reviews, assessment reviews, treatment plan reviews, and reading and research assignments. When agencies wish to add Dr. Morris to their supervision faculty this requires an interview, access to full review of information about the agency and it’s mission, clinical staff makeup, accreditations or contract and program types, and conversations with their clinical director (s). All licensure candidates in specific disciplines will need to purchase a “test preparation” package and review study schedule and progress with Dr. Morris. Select students will be given opportunity to work with Dr. Morris on his regular professional publications and to qualify to co-author journal or book chapter or newsletter publications. All supervises will have access to Dr. Morris’ classical clinical publications library and his subscriptions to search services for publications and scientific literature. All supervises must show active malpractice insurance coverage and legal ability to practice under supervision in Mo and/or KS. If you work in a facility or group practice, these organizations must agree to work with Dr. Morris and adapt policies and procedures and clinical records and human resources access for the supervisor to facilitate evaluations and evaluation of clinical and administrative performance.
