About Your Supervisor
Dr. Tanisha Robinson is a PhD-level behavioral health clinician and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience working with individuals across a variety of clinical settings and complex health conditions. She is passionate about mentoring the next generation of social workers and supporting clinicians in developing strong clinical judgment, ethical practice, and culturally responsive care.

Clinical Supervision Services
Dr. Robinson provides individual and group clinical supervision for social workers seeking licensure. Supervision focuses on strengthening clinical skills, professional identity, and ethical practice.
Supervision sessions include support in areas such as:
• Clinical case consultation and guidance
• Diagnostic education and treatment planning
• Ethics and professional decision-making
• Social justice and culturally responsive practice
• Clinical documentation and case conceptualization
• Licensure exam preparation as you approach completion of your supervision hours
During the initial supervision meeting, we review the supervision contract, discuss your current work setting, explore your career goals, and identify areas of social work practice that you are interested in developing further.
Once the supervision agreement is finalized, we will schedule regular individual supervision sessions (weekly or biweekly) and you will also be added to group supervision. Structured agendas and documentation are maintained for both individual and group sessions to ensure clear tracking of supervision topics and professional development.
Supervision Philosophy
Dr. Robinson approaches supervision as a collaborative and supportive learning process. The goal of supervision is not only to meet licensure requirements, but also to help clinicians develop the critical thinking, clinical judgment, and self-reflection skills needed for long-term professional growth.
Supervision sessions emphasize curiosity, open discussion, and thoughtful case exploration. Supervisees are encouraged to bring questions, clinical challenges, ethical dilemmas, and areas of uncertainty into supervision so that they can build confidence and competence in their work.
