Supervision

The Academy of Choice offers supervision to counselors and coaches. If you are an LPC who needs supervision to qualify for your LCPC, we can help. Kim Olver is an LCPC who does supervision with counselors interested in exploring treating clients without dependence upon the medical model for medication and diagnosing disease. Kim will support you in using the principles of Dr. Glasser’s Choice Theory, Reality Therapy and her own, proprietary method called, Mental Freedom® when you are truly ready to help your clients stop being victims and, take control of their life and begin to live from within. Please check the rules of your state to be sure you can have a supervisor who doesn’t work at your place of employment and may be out-of-state. Academy of Choice Also offers supervision to coaches. While there is no law requiring supervision, you may want to run some cases by someone with more experience.

Individual supervision is billed at $150/hour.

Olver International will never use a hard sell with you. We will not bully
 or guilt you into a purchase. This is our pledge. You are 100% safe to talk with us.

Counselors: As a licensed clinical professional counselor, you can book Kim to do your counselor supervision. If you are using Choice Theory/Reality Therapy as your theory, you may want guidance for its application. If you are seeking hours for licensure, be sure your state will allow your supervisor to be in Illinois. Some states require supervisors to reside in the same state as the counselor seeking supervision. Sessions are conducted via Zoom.

Coaches: Currently, there are no requirements for coaches to seek supervision, however, as a newbie in the field, or someone who wants to be sure they are applying Choice Coaching or Mental Freedom® properly, you can hire Kim or any of her Academy of Choice coaches for supervision. Remember, what Vince Lombadi said: “It’s not practice that makes perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.”
