Telehealth Certification Institute

The purpose of this course is to provide insights into counselor and supervisor development. It will explain the “zone of proximal development,” and how it can be applied to understanding the development of counseling supervisors, in addition to beginning and middle stage counselors. It will explore how development changes for counselors during their internship to their post graduate work toward licensure. This course will also address the necessary adjustments for clinical supervisors along that development process.

Upon completion of this training professionals will be able to do the following:

• Explain the impact that the zone of proximal development has on the skill set of clinical supervisors and counselors. 

• Describe how the zone of proximal development can be utilized to better understand the relationships between the supervisor and supervisee.
