Clinical Supervision

Supporting the Next Generation of Mental Health Professionals

At OCD & Anxiety Treatment of Houston (OATH Therapy), we are committed to fostering the growth and development of future mental health professionals. We offer clinical supervision for graduate-level interns and Licensed Professional Counselor-Associates (LPC-Associates) pursuing their supervised clinical hours toward full licensure. Supervision provides a supportive, structured environment where emerging clinicians can gain expertise in evidence-based treatments, ethical practice, and professional development.

Our Approach to Supervision

Supervision at OATH Therapy is designed to provide comprehensive guidance in working with individuals experiencing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Anxiety Disorders, and related conditions. Under the leadership of Saharah Shrout, MA, LPC-S, our supervision model integrates:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Mindfulness-Based Interventions
  • Case Conceptualization and Treatment Planning
  • Professional Ethics and Boundaries
  • Building a Strong Therapeutic Alliance

Through individual and group supervision, we ensure that trainees receive personalized feedback, case consultation, and skill-building opportunities that enhance their clinical confidence and competence.

We look forward to supporting your journey as a mental health professional and helping you develop the skills needed to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those you work with.

I have had the privilege of working under Saharah as my clinical supervisor, and I can confidently say that she has been an invaluable guide throughout my journey. Saharah is not only a wise and experienced professional but also an incredibly patient teacher. Saharah offers a perfect balance of flexibility and structure, while encouraging me to grow and ensuring I meet the necessary clinical requirements.

Saharah's help and support has been both thoughtful and full of wisdom, particularly in navigating complex cases. She is always encouraging me to think outside of the box, offering wonderful suggestions to aid in my clinical experience and is eager to respond with assistance on short notice. Saharah consistently provides clear instruction plus evidence-based strategies which encourage me to approach OCD in a confident, scientifically proven, yet compassionate way.

Iā€™m incredibly grateful for her guidance and am lucky to have the opportunity to learn from such a wise and supportive mentor.
