Supervision
and CE
that actually help.

Clinical supervision with Dr. Kristy Burton and NBCC-approved continuing education through the Hope Builders Clinical Training Collective.

If you are a counselor pursuing licensure, a newly licensed professional looking for consultation, or a practicing clinician who wants CE that is actually interesting, you are in the right place.

Clinical supervision with Dr. Kristy Burton

Dr. Burton is a board-certified supervisor in Arkansas for both mental health and addictions. She holds the CS, AADC, and MAC credentials, serves as President of the Arkansas Addiction Professionals Association and President-Elect of the Arkansas Counseling Association, and is a faculty member at Ouachita Baptist University. She supervises LACs working toward LPC, LADACs on the addiction track, counseling interns, and newly licensed professionals seeking post-licensure consultation.

Supervision is not just hours on a form. Dr. Burton supervision goes beyond case review into reflective practice, ethical decision-making in the gray areas, specialty support for trauma and addiction cases, and career conversations about scope of practice and building a clinical life.
