PhD • LCMHCS • NCC
"As a Licensed Clinical Mental HealthCounselor Supervisor (LCMHCS), I am approved by the North Carolina Board ofLicensed Clinical Mental Health Counselors (NCBLCMHC) to provide clinical supervision to those seeking full licensure in the state of North Carolina.As an experienced supervisor and counselor educator, I provide a safe, supportive and compassionate environment to foster the growth and development of Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associates. I supervise from an educational perspective while utilizing a variety of counseling theories and evidenced based supervision techniques. I honor my work in supervision and see my role as an educator, collaborator, consultant, administrator and partner in this shared journey."

- Dr. Kamala Uzzell
SuperVision Rates
• Individual supervision: $130 per hour
• Group supervision (2–3 Associates): $80 per hour
The process
During the supervision process with Dr. Uzzell, Associates will develop their counseling skills, therapeutic competence and professional identity. You will learn best ethical practices, gain practical clinical tools, and develop personally and professionally through supervision, self-reflection, and experiential exercises. At times, when available, Associates may have the opportunity to develop and co-facilitate groups and workshops with Dr. Uzzell.

Dr. Uzzell believes that the supervision relationship is one of the most important and rewarding relationships a counselor will develop during their career because it sets the foundation for counseling practice. It forms the bridge between education and professional application. For this reason, she is intentional about providing high-level supervision while forming a long-lasting professional relationship with Associates.

If you would like to engage in clinical supervision with Dr. Uzzell as your supervisor, please email her and attach a copy of your curriculum vitae. She will follow-up with you within one week of receiving your email to discuss with you a plan for moving forward.
