    Episode 4: Supervision Models Series — The Discrimination Model with guest supervisor Lauren Pryor

    How do supervisors know when to teach, when to offer support, and when to step back and let supervisees find their own way? The Discrimination Model offers a flexible approach to clinical supervision that helps supervisors recognize and respond to the changing needs of developing counselors. In this episode of Unsupervised, Charisse Mitchell kicks off a special series exploring different models of clinical supervision with guest Lauren Pryor, LPC. Together they unpack the Discrimination Model and its three supervisory roles: teacher, counselor, and consultant. Lauren shares how this model has shaped her approach to supervision and how supervisors can move between these roles to support counselor development. They also explore the importance of maintaining appropriate boundaries and what supervisees can expect when working with a supervisor who uses this model. Whether you're a supervisor looking to be more intentional in your approach or a supervisee hoping to better understand your supervisor's style, this conversation offers a practical and approachable introduction to the Discrimination Model!
