Clinical Supervision for Developing Social Workers in Oregon
I view supervision as a collaborative and supportive space where associates can grow in confidence, clinical skill, and professional identity.
I offer Oregon Board-compliant clinical supervision for CSWAs working toward LCSW licensure. My trauma-informed, ethical approach provides a supportive space to build clinical skills, strengthen case conceptualization, and deepen understanding of evidence-based interventions while developing confidence as a clinical social worker.
Supervision is collaborative and tailored to Oregon licensure requirements and your individual learning goals. Sessions focus on treatment planning, clinical reasoning, boundaries, professional identity, and sustainability in practice, with an emphasis on preventing burnout and supporting long-term success in clinical social work.

Meet Meghan Hanes, LCSW
Iām Meghan, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and EMDR-trained trauma therapist offering clinical supervision to CSWAs in Oregon. My supervisory approach is grounded in trauma-informed care, clinical skill development, and helping newer clinicians build confidence in complex systems and high-acuity work.
My background includes extensive experience in crisis intervention and community mental health, including work with mobile crisis teams, emergency department psychiatric assessments, inpatient psychiatric units, and hospital-based behavioral health services. I have supported individuals across the full spectrum of acuity, from acute crisis and involuntary hospitalizations to longer-term outpatient care.
I bring strong working knowledge of Oregon-specific mental health systems, including mental health holds, civil commitment, involuntary treatment processes, diversions, and risk assessment. I previously served as a Civil Commitment Investigator in Deschutes County, which informs my supervision around documentation, clinical decision-making, ethical considerations, and collaboration with legal and medical systems.
In supervision, I integrate EMDR-informed case conceptualization, trauma and dual diagnosis treatment approaches, and practical guidance for navigating complex cases. My goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where supervisees can strengthen clinical judgment, increase confidence, and develop sustainable, ethical practices aligned with Oregon Board requirements.
