Testimonials
What clinicians are saying about supervision with Dr Metzger
Isha's supervision over the past year has led me to be a much better clinician. Her emphasis on inclusivity, advocacy, and the discussion of culture in the therapy room allows me to feel more comfortable seeing diverse clients. Her excellent supervision makes me feel more comfortable in the therapy room and I know that it is safe to approach her with any problems or feelings that I may be dealing with. It is evident that she genuinely cares about each of the trainees that she supervises and their clients.

Isha was amazing in providing the child team with further learning outside of our cases. Isha has been great with providing a safe and growing space to process our clients as well as for us to process what's going on in our lives. She cares about her supervisees both as clinicians and as people. She is warm and open and wants to assist you in accomplishing your goals.
What clinicians are saying about supervision with Dr Metzger
Such an important and timely topic! I appreciate the timing of this seminar later in our training after the majority of us have been exposed to TF-CBT and working with trauma exposed populations. This workshop was really engaging and there was a great use of illustrative examples. I found the presentation pacing and cohesion to be particularly impressive. I also appreciated receiving the articles to read ahead of time!

What clinicians are saying about supervision with Dr Metzger
Dr. Metzger was really engaging, and I appreciated the integration of illustrative examples and current events into the talk. I learned a great deal from this presentation, and I have new ideas about how to navigate discussions about racial trauma with my current patients. The opportunities that we had to role-play strategies were amazing, and I only wish we could have had a few more sessions!
What clinicians are saying about supervision with Dr Metzger
I am SO glad we had a talk on this topic. I really wanted to learn more about this, and I found this talk incredibly helpful and useful in my work with patients. Dr. Metzger incorporating examples during/throughout the presentation and identifying modifications to treatment modules was incredibly helpful, as well as providing resources. Please keep this topic for future seminars.

What clinicians are saying about supervision with Dr Metzger
Very well organized and professional presentation. Wonderful speaker. While some of what was presented caused me to want to get defensive, I choose to acknowledge my responses, stay and listen with an open mind and figure out what pieces of what she was talking about I could address from my position as an individual and professional. Thanks for that opportunity!
