    Clinical Supervision for Therapists in Wisconsin

    Real, modality-informed supervision and consultation for Wisconsin clinicians — without the post-grad price tag or the drive to downtown Milwaukee.

    If you're an associate therapist in Wisconsin trying to stack supervision hours, you've probably done the math: $150 a session, weekly, for a couple of years. It adds up fast — and it doesn't always get you the kind of feedback that actually changes how you sit with clients.

    Supervision Circle exists for the WI clinicians who want ongoing, modality-informed consultation that's good and affordable. Groups meet virtually, so whether you're in Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Eau Claire, or somewhere a lot smaller, you can show up without burning a half-day on the freeway.

    Who this is for

    • LPC-IT and LPC associates in Wisconsin working toward your 3,000 supervised hours.
    • LMFT and LCSW associates who want consultation alongside your required individual supervision.
    • Newly licensed therapists who don't want to do this work alone now that the formal supervision requirement is over.
    • Experienced clinicians who want a peer group with structure, not just a venting circle.

    Wisconsin licensure, briefly

    Wisconsin's Department of Safety and Professional Services requires 3,000 hours of supervised post-graduate experience for full LPC licensure, with at least 1,000 of those being direct client contact. The specific supervisor approval requirements (SAC, etc.) depend on your license track. We don't replace your assigned individual supervisor — we sit alongside them, giving you a place to bring cases, stretch your modality knowledge, and feel a little less alone.

    For more on how individual and group supervision work together, see individual vs. group supervision and how couples therapy hours count toward licensure.

    What good supervision actually looks like

    You should leave a supervision session with at least one of three things: a clearer clinical hypothesis, a concrete next move, or a smaller knot in your stomach about a case. If you're routinely getting none of those, the format isn't working — and it's not your fault.

    Specialty match — your supervisor has hours in the kind of work you do.

    Honest feedback delivered with care, not the soft 'you're doing great' loop.

    Room to bring affairs, suicidality, ambivalence, and the cases that scare you.

    A community that normalizes how hard early-career clinical work actually is.

    Frequently asked: Wisconsin supervision

    Does Wisconsin require clinical supervision for LPC licensure?

    Yes. Wisconsin requires 3,000 hours of supervised post-graduate clinical experience to move from LPC-IT (in training) to full LPC licensure, with at least 1,000 of those hours involving direct client contact. A portion must be under an approved supervisor.

    Can group consultation count toward Wisconsin supervision hours?

    It depends on your license type and your individual supervision plan. Many Wisconsin associates use group consultation alongside individual supervision to deepen learning. Always confirm what counts with your assigned supervisor and the WI Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS).

    Do you offer in-person supervision in Milwaukee?

    Our consultation groups meet virtually so therapists across Wisconsin — Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Eau Claire, and rural communities — can join without driving. Laurie Groh practices at Shoreside Therapies in the Milwaukee area and works with WI clinicians regularly.

    I'm fully licensed. Is supervision still useful?

    Absolutely. Many of our members are fully licensed therapists who want ongoing consultation, peer learning, and a place to bring hard cases. Calling it 'consultation' instead of 'supervision' is often the only difference once you're licensed.

    How much does clinical supervision cost in Wisconsin?

    Individual supervision in Wisconsin typically runs $100–$250 per session. Our group consultation is $95/month — designed to be accessible for associates and early-career clinicians while still giving you specialized, modality-informed feedback.
