This Supervision Is Built for a Specific Kind of Counselor

You are an LPC Associate in Texas working toward full licensure. You are not just counting hours. You want your supervision time to actually make you better — to develop real clinical skill, not just complete a requirement.

You may be working with anxiety, OCD, trauma, or BFRBs — or you are drawn toward those specialties and want a supervisor who genuinely knows them. You have probably noticed that not every supervisor can teach what you actually want to learn.

If that describes you, this may be the right supervision relationship. Felix takes a limited number of supervisees — consistent with how he runs his therapy practice. Supervision done well requires real attention, and real attention requires limits.

What This Supervision Actually Looks Like

Not just hour tracking. Actual clinical development.

Supervision with Felix centers on case conceptualization, intervention skill, and clinical reasoning — not administrative paperwork. Each session is structured around your actual caseload: what is working, what is not, and why.

Felix uses his specialty training to help supervisees develop real competency in evidence-based modalities — including Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD, EMDR for trauma, Habit Reversal Training (HRT) for BFRBs, and ACT-informed approaches for anxiety. If you are working in or moving toward these areas, supervision here is designed to build that skill intentionally.

Supervision is also a place to develop your professional identity — your clinical values, your theoretical framework, and your understanding of ethics and scope. That is not secondary. That is the work.

Specialties You Can Develop in Supervision

Felix supervises with a specialty lens — not generic “clinical experience.”

OCD & ERP

Exposure and Response Prevention grounded in Inhibitory Learning theory. Supervision covers case conceptualization, hierarchy design, and how to deliver ERP in a way that actually works long-term.

Trauma & EMDR

EMDR protocol fidelity, trauma-informed conceptualization, and safe titration for complex presentations. Felix can help you develop confidence with EMDR in real-world clinical conditions.

BFRBs & Habit Reversal Training

Skin picking, hair pulling, and related body-focused repetitive behaviors are under-addressed in most training programs. Supervision here includes HRT technique, the BFRB behavioral model, and how to work with shame without reinforcing avoidance.

Anxiety & ACT-Informed Care

ACT as a clinical framework — not just a technique. Supervision covers values clarification, psychological flexibility, and the difference between symptom reduction and a meaningful life as treatment goals.

About Felix as a Supervisor

Felix Murad holds the Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S) credential in Texas, approved by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council to provide supervision toward LPC licensure. He has been in clinical practice for over 14 years, with deep specialization in OCD/ERP, trauma/EMDR, BFRBs, and anxiety.

His supervision philosophy is humanistic in foundation and evidence-based in method. He does not believe supervision should feel like an evaluation you are trying to pass — it should feel like a place where you can think out loud, make mistakes, and actually grow. He has been on the receiving end of both good supervision and bad. That informs how he shows up.

Felix maintains a selective supervisory caseload — consistent with how he runs his therapy practice. This is intentional. Supervision done well requires real attention, and real attention requires limits.

How the Supervision Engagement Works

1. Schedule a Consult

A free 20-minute conversation to discuss your licensure goals, current caseload, and what you are looking for in supervision. This is a fit call — for both of us.

2. Set Up the Agreement

If it is a fit, we formalize a supervision agreement meeting Texas BHEC requirements — including frequency, documentation, and scope of supervision.

3. We Get to Work

Regular individual supervision sessions focused on your clinical development — not just hour documentation. Frequency and format are determined by your licensure requirements and what will actually be useful.

Common Questions About Supervision

What are the Texas supervision requirements for LPC licensure?

Texas requires LPC Associates to complete a minimum of 3,000 supervised hours of professional counseling experience, including at least 100 hours of direct supervision — with at least 50 of those being individual supervision. The supervising counselor must hold the LPC-S credential. Requirements are governed by the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council; always verify current requirements at bhec.texas.gov as rules may change.

Do you offer individual and group supervision?

Currently, individual supervision is the primary format offered. Group supervision may be available depending on scheduling and group composition. This is discussed during the initial consult call.

Do I need to work in a specialty area to pursue supervision here?

No — but Felix’s strongest supervision is in specialty areas (OCD/ERP, trauma/EMDR, BFRBs, anxiety). If your caseload includes general adult outpatient work with some of these presentations, supervision here can be very effective. If your work is primarily in a very different area, we will discuss fit honestly during the consult.

What does supervision cost?

Supervision fees are discussed during the consult call. This practice operates on a private-pay model — no billing through your employer or a third party. Supervision is an investment in your clinical development, and the cost reflects that.

How do I know if this is the right supervision fit?

The consult call is designed for exactly that question. We talk about your goals, your caseload, your training interests, and what you need from a supervisor. You leave with a clear sense of whether this is a match — even if the answer is no. A good supervision fit matters. Do not rush it.

Ready to Find Out If This Is the Right Fit?

Schedule a free 20-minute consult to talk about your licensure path and whether this supervision is a match. No obligation either way.
