Under Clinical Supervision
Nic Sutherland, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, R8524 is practicing under the supervision of Paula Emerick (Oregon, LMFT, T1444) at Earthenware Therapy.
Please, note: A clinician listed as being “clinically supervised” is completing clinical hours toward their licensure. They have one or more fully licensed clinical supervisors that often have special training to become supervisors. They consult with their supervisor(s) on all of their cases, which means that, when working with them, you are getting the time and expertise of multiple therapists in your treatment.
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
I bring a lot of creativity and humor into my relationships with my clients. My focus is on our connection, and how the safety of our relationship allows us to hold and tolerate what is true for you. This makes therapy uncomfortable, because the goal is not to change what you are experiencing, but to accept and allow it to be what it is, and change as it changes; I don't shy away from this discomfort, but I do bring humor and compassion to it.
In what ways do your life philosophy and treatment philosophy overlap?
Deeply so! I believe that everything is changing all the time (we don't need to grasp it) and that this change is happening through relationships; this grounds me as a therapist. I see my roles as a human, therapist, artist (and all the other ways I engage with the world) as overlapping, and impacting each other. My own past pains and joys and complexity come into the therapy room and impact how I show up with my clients; we are mutually changed. I try to allow the authenticity of how I see the world and actually move through the world to show through in how I engage as a therapist.
