Data Acquisition

Therapists must first obtain informed consent from their clients before using Therapartners. Clients need to agree to the recording of the sessions and the uploading of these recordings to Therapartners for transcription. Once the transcription is genereated, the original recording files will be deleted. The transcriptions will then be used for generating case summaries and transcript analysis. Before obtaining informed consent, therapists must clearly inform their clients about the purpose and context of the recordings. Therapists can use their own consent forms or the consent form templates provided by Therapartners.

What is Supervision in psychotherapy?

Professional counseling supervision refers to a process in the field of therapist in which experienced clinical supervisors provide professional guidance and support to practicing therapists through their expertise and clinical insights.

Licensed therapists are required to participate in regular supervision sessions to maintain continuous professional development and high-quality clinical practices.

1. Safe Space for Reflection: Supervision provides a secure environment for therapists to explore and reflect on their clinical practice, helping them identify and address potential blind spots or biases in client interactions, thereby improving their counseling skills.
2. Emotional Support: Supervision assists therapists in managing their own emotional burdens, reducing the risk of burnout or competency issues that could negatively impact their effectiveness in working with clients.
3. Continuous Learning: Supervision enables therapists to acquire new knowledge and skills, stay updated with the latest therapeutic methods and theoretical advancements, and ensure their practice remains at the forefront of professional standards.
