It takes time to integrate these skills into daily practice. Many clinicians appreciate extra support as they work to deepen competence over time. We’ve created multiple avenues for learners to do this.
1) Training:Through our sister company,SOUND Life Learning, we offer both live and on-demand courses. Our on-demand course, Integrated Recovery Principles for Co-occurring Disorders (IRP) is scheduled to go live in Summer 2025 and has been approved for CEU’s through the NASW Washington State Chapter. By early 2026, or sooner, we plan to have a more extensive training that is open to all and meets the requirement to assist WA State mental health professionals seeking a Co-occurring Disorder Specialist Enhancement through the Washington State Department of Health.
Agencies & other groups are encouraged to contact us to discuss programs to meet their unique training needs.
2) Individual Supervision:
As a Washington State approved supervisor, Jeff offers a limited number of individual primary and secondary supervision slots for dedicated, individualized support for Washington State associate level clinicians seeking hours for independent or advanced licensure. Sessions are available for clinicians interested in working with substance use, serious mental illness, CBT for Psychosis (CBTp), or developing competence in general CBT or ACT-based approaches for a general population.
Who can join: Washington State associate level clinicians seeking hours for independent or advanced licensure. No training completion is required for individual supervision.
Cost: $120/hour
When: Weekly, as decided by licensure candidate & supervisor

3) Group Supervision:
Group supervision provides a supportive, structured, weekly small group experience for Washington State associate level clinicians seeking supervision hours toward independent or advanced licensure. In this group, attendees will further explore topics from the IRP approach, discuss cases, and have an opportunity to ask questions. Our group supervision is limited to 6 supervisees, allowing more personal interaction and more active engagement than our group consulting, and is offered at a reduced rate.

Primary supervision: Supervision with a main supervisor ("primary supervisor") who has ultimate responsibility for the supervision of the associate licensee. All therapy clients are seen under the license and primary supervision of this clinical supervisor. Primary supervisors have final say on all therapy recommendations. Primary supervision may support caseload and treatment plan review, theory and practice, relevant WA State rules & laws, standards of practice, coordination of work with other professionals and parties, relevant professional literature and research, and other therapy related issues.
Secondary supervision: Supervision for licensure candidates who already have a primary supervisor in place. Secondary supervision and secondary supervisors may also provide secondary guidance in the areas of caseload and treatment plan review, theory and practice, relevant laws and rules, standards of practice, coordination of work with other professionals and parties, and professional literature and research. One of the main purposes for choosing secondary supervision with SOUND Life Recovery is to deepen understanding of general CBT, ACT, CBT for Psychosis (CBTp), and an integrated approach to the treatment of co-occurring disorders to further enhance the supervisory experience they receive with their primary supervisor.

We quite enjoy the process of supervision and feel a strong sense of responsibility and dedication to our supervisees. We’re genuinely honored to be a part of their professional development journey. And…it’s just plain fun to learn together!
Jeff is a Washington State approved supervisor and has offered supervision both independently and through his work with the University of Washington Department of Psychiatry. Past supervisees have come from all mental health professions, including masters and PhD level clinicians, as well as MD’s. Jeff offers primary supervision to non-agency clinicians. If a supervisee is employed by an agency, Jeff acts as a secondary supervisor with an agency on-site supervisor acting as primary, unless otherwise arranged and formalized with the agency in writing.
Supervisees interested in private practice are responsible for all tasks related to building and running their own business. While SOUND Life Recovery may refer a potential client to a supervisee, we don’t take responsibility for assisting supervisees in marketing, building their caseload, or other business operations. We can, however, help guide clinicians who wish to begin in private practice in how to do all of these tasks.
All supervisees, primary and secondary, are required to hold a professional liability policy with Jeff Roskelley, LICSW and SOUND Life Recovery as additional insured and at limits described in our supervision agreement. This is a requirement because when supervisees work under Jeff’s license, Jeff and SOUND Life Recovery take on legal liability related to the supervisee’s actions and decisions.
Our program offers supervision for pre-identified psychotherapy clients only and not for clients who aren’t listed on an identified client list form offered by SOUND Life Recovery. In the case of agency supervisees who have an agency on-site supervisor as their primary, a supervisee will not have an identified client list with SOUND Life Recovery and won’t be seeing specific clients under the license of SOUND Life Recovery supervisors.We formalize our supervisory relationship with a supervision agreement. In this agreement, we establish shared terms for our arrangement together.
You can learn more about our supervision program by reading our current Supervision Agreement, intended for the licensure candidate, here.
If we are acting as a secondary supervisor, an abbreviated version of our agreement is sent to primary supervisors and can be found here. This allows us to all have clarity and a shared understanding of roles.
