From Supervisee to Self-Advocate: A Conversation with Miranda Singer
Supervision Simplified is back with a fresh perspective—from the supervisee’s chair! In this heartfelt conversation, Dr. Amy Fortney Parks sits down with Miranda Singer, a neurodivergent social work supervisee, play therapist-in-training, and passionate advocate for neurodiversity and anti-ableist practice. Together, they explore the real-world experiences of clinical supervision from the trainee’s point of view: the nerves, the learning, and the growth that come from good feedback and supportive supervisors. Miranda shares insights from her work with neurodivergent children, what she’s learned from supervision, and how her late diagnosis shaped both her advocacy and her approach to therapy. You’ll also hear about her initiative, Dis No More Abilities, and how she’s building a movement to promote inclusion, empathy, and authenticity within and beyond the therapy world. Supervision Simplified brings you real conversations with real clinical supervisors—and now, supervisees—navigating the complex, messy, and meaningful world of mental health.
