Russell Gainer, LCSW-S

I believe Clinical Supervision to be a dynamic process by which the creative influences of your experience and the synergy of the Group drives skill development and hones expertise. I focus on building the clinicians ability to help the “stuck” client move forward to achieve their goals and help them put their life together in a more fulfilling way. What do you do after the client emotionally comes unglued – how do you help them put the pieces back together so they can still function? How do you identify what the “next right thing” is in Therapy? I use group discussions, case studies, book and movie evaluations for examples, review of Title 22 of our Rules, special Topic Assignments, explore documentation issues, talk about billing, marketing and professional presence, plus hold special sessions with outside presenters and singular topics to help deliver an energetic Supervision experience.

Kathy Phoenix, DSW, LCSW-S

Clinical supervision empowers a LMSW to elevate their practice impact. As a clinical supervisor, I find it a privilege to help with the elevation process. I also value partnering with the supervisee to enhance their existing skills and knowledge. I bring over 30 years of social work experience to the clinical supervisory journey, having worked in a variety of clinical settings to include mental health, IDD, long term care, geriatrics, and palliative & hospice care. I am currently an Associate Professor at OLLU along with maintaining a small clinical practice specializing in supporting clients through chronic and terminal illness, trauma events, and complicated grief, with a specialty in working with the veteran and LGBT communities. I obtained my Doctor of Social Work (DSW) from Capella University (2019), Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Kansas (1996) and Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) from Colorado State University (1989). I also served in the US Army Reserve from 1989 – 1996.
