Clinical Supervision

Portal Wellness offers clinical supervision for social workers that is collaborative, relational, and grounded in anti-oppressive and abolitionist values. Moreover, it is based on the belief that a therapist’s wellbeing is essential to the work that they do.  

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!
