Clinical Supervision
At Portal Wellness, we also know that good clinical supervision is paramount to professional development, and that it both supports confidence and prevents burnout. In addition, because we understand that professional practice requires excellent clinical, therapeutic, and business management skills, we will assist you to develop your skillsets in all of these areas, so that you can better achieve your long-term professional goals.
Hi!
I’m Erika Nelson, owner of Portal Wellness, and an approved Clinical Supervisor offering clinical supervision for social workers in Washington and Oregon states.
I have a background in community mental health, and have worked extensively in the area of crisis and stabilization in youth and families.
My expertise is in relational therapy, clinical assessment, suicidal ideation, neurodiversity, and healing trauma through an anti-oppressive lens.
I am experienced with approaches that include somatic, parts (IFS), polyvegal, liberation psychology, depth and analytic psychology, DBT/CBT, narrative, and creative arts.
My goals are to empower people with knowledge, cultivate transformative relationships, and catalyze communal change. If these goals align with yours, then let’s see if we are a good fit!
Hi!
I’m Semi Grey, a Supervisor Candidate here at Portal Wellness Collective. I practice from a decolonialist and liberation-centered framework, honoring the complexities of identity, intergenerational resilience, and the sacredness of the body. My presence is grounded in humility, curiosity, and a commitment to creating spaces where all parts of you are welcome.
As a clinical supervisor candidate in Oregon, I offer supervision that blends ethical and professional standards with a decolonialist, liberation-centered approach. My work is rooted in the belief that clinical growth must honor both personal and systemic contexts. I draw from modalities such as EMDR, somatic and mindfulness-based therapies, Buddhist psychology, and Gestalt approaches, supporting supervisees in developing authentic, embodied clinical presence. As a biracial, dark-skinned, cisgender woman, I center intergenerational resilience and lived experience in supervision, fostering spaces where all aspects of identity are welcomed and accountability is practiced with compassion. Together, we engage in work that is ethically sound, socially conscious, and deeply human.
