Clinical Supervision for Social Workers
A collaborative, strengths-based supervisory partnership for social workers working toward independent licensure, or seasoned clinicians seeking consultation. Led by Heather Dick, LCSW, NASW-NJ certified clinical supervisor.
Empowering the next generation of clinical professionals
Navigating the path to independent licensure is a profound period of professional and personal growth. Effective clinical supervision is more than a licensing requirement. It is a collaborative partnership designed to refine your clinical skills, deepen your theoretical understanding, and cultivate your unique professional identity.
Supervision at Mana Life is provided by Heather Dick, LCSW. With more than 15 years of experience providing clinical supervision and a formal Clinical Supervision Certification from the National Association of Social Workers, New Jersey Chapter (NASW-NJ), Heather offers high-quality, ethically grounded supervision for social workers seeking advanced licensure or ongoing professional consultation.

Heather’s supervision style is collaborative, strengths-based, and developmental. Every clinician brings a unique background to their practice, and she adapts her approach to meet you where you are in your professional journey, creating a safe, non-judgmental space where you can candidly discuss complex cases, explore countertransference, and challenge yourself to grow.
