Not your typical Supervision
for Texas LPC Associates...who feel stuck between who they’re expected to be and who they actually are.
shawna lovin, lpcsTherapist, Texas LPC Supervisor, & Wellness Educator
no clinical lectures. just meaningful conversations. done with you, not at you! 
I remember my supervision, like it was yesterday! I was exhausted, overworked, and doubting myself at every turn. The system was telling me to push harder, smile bigger, keep it together. But inside? I was unraveling.
If you’re landing here, you might be:Running on empty, trying to “hold it together” for clients.
Wondering how you’re supposed to care for others when you’re barely caring for yourself.
Feeling pressure to be professional when your humanness feels messy.
Here, we dive into the real work — not molding you into someone else's idea of a good therapist or making supervision feel like another hoop to jump through. I know what it’s like to feel lost, burnt out, and unsure if you even belong in this field.
That’s exactly why I do supervision differently!your solution is personalized clinical supervisionWe all know that massages, mani-pedis, or shopping sprees aren’t the real answer to avoiding burnout or practicing deep self-care. And they certainly don’t make you a well-rounded therapist.
And yet—we’ve all heard the same tired advice, even from seasoned therapists: “Practice self-care.” Meanwhile, no one hands us the actual tools or teaches us how to regulate our nervous system while holding space for our clients.
The reality is, as a therapist, you're exposed to secondary trauma daily. And we have to practice our self-care differently. Besides, are you really practicing the self-care you encourage in your clients? Let’s change that.
If you’re still clinging to that traditional education mumbo-jumbo & the old-school, “do it by the book” way of being a therapist…
You’ll always be stuck in the box built by someone else, checking off requirements but disconnected from your own human-ness!
That’s where supervision with me comes in—because it shouldn’t just be about logging hours or checking off requirements, it should be about learning how to sustain yourself while you learn how to be a therapist.
As a Therapist, Texas LPC Supervisor, and Wellness Educator with 25 years of blended mental health and wellness experience, who has learned through heaps of trial and error with a healthy dose of pushing the envelope…
This space is for associates who:Want a supervisor who’s not afraid to talk about the messy journey.
Crave real conversations, not just paperwork and checklists.
Feel weighed down by perfectionism, imposter syndrome, or “not enough.”
Want to learn how to regulate their nervous system while learning the ropes of private practice.
Know they want to do therapy their way—not the plan that was given to us.
Want a supportive and authentic community.

Hey y’all… I’m Shawna!
I’m a 3/5 Emotional Projector, think of me as your work BFF - who happens to be a Therapist, Texas LPC Supervisor, Coordinator of Chaos, Energy Manager, LEO Wife, Mama, and a total tree-hugging badass who swears by natural alternatives. Oh, and I’m also a recovering overthinking, people-pleasing perfectionist!
You deserve a supervisor who actually gets it—someone who's been dismissed, silenced, and sidelined, just like you. Asking for help in this field can feel like walking into a snooty club where you’re afraid of saying the wrong thing.
With over two decades of experience, I’ve seen so many new therapists trying to find their footing, while balancing the messy middle between being human & being a professional. And, grad school gave you the foundation, but it didn’t prepare you for everything, especially not the emotional weight of this work. We all know not all the goodies were in that toolbox!
Dealing with other people’s chaos and trauma isn’t for the faint of heart. However, being a confident therapist doesn't mean having all the answers; it means you know how to embrace your humanity, flaws and all, while still showing up for your clients.
That's where I come in. I'm here to disrupt the status quo. Together, we’ll conquer burnout, learn how to hold trauma without it consuming you, and help you step into the resilient, grounded, and badass therapist you were always meant to be.
former lpc associate“I came to Shawna after there were some issues with my previous Supervisor. She truly cares and genuinely wants to help clinicians succeed. Shawna typically operates outside of the box but shows up authentically and encourages others to do the same. I appreciate her open-mindedness and eagerness to explore new ideas. I have had a great experience with Shawna.”
former lpc associate“I went to Shawna in a very vulnerable state. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to keep my license. She listened to me, guided me, and took me under her wing. I now own a group practice and I run a nonprofit. I oversee several other therapists. None of it could have happened without her.”

Clinical Supervision for LPC Associates in Texas Who Want to Practice with Integrity, Confidence, and a Regulated Nervous System.
hey y’all, i’m shawna!
Welcome to Healing Roots…
I’m an experienced Therapist and Wellness Educator, a total tree-hugging spiritual badass, and someone who's learned through a lot of trial and error.
I’m not just another counselor, therapist, health & wellness coach, or doctor who’s going to give you the same strategies that are not sustainable. I’m not going to tell you to suck it up because this is your life, either.
I happen to have 25 years of experience, as a Therapist and Wellness Educator, I noticed therapists, healers, & helpers are often…
1. Not being heard and dismissed regarding your concerns, and you typically don’t ask for help because you are afraid of stigma, retaliation, and the appearance of looking weak;
2. Not taught practical applications of self-regulation; and
3. Frequently gaslighted into being a follower by using judgment, micro-aggressions, and reinforcing negative societal norms.
Now I’m on a mission to help you unapologetically stand in your power to advocate for yourself, have EMOTIONAL sanity, support your self-liberation journey, and help you explore your new boundaries, while normalizing and navigating everyday life, WITHOUT consistent worry, while becoming a therapist.
I mindfully guide you to create intentional and sustainable small changes to simplify your daily self-regulation routines, so that you don’t feel overwhelmed by changes.
Why? Because, if you have too many changes at once, sticking to lifestyle changes won’t last, and you will be back to square one.
I am living proof that you don’t have to follow the prescribed plan and still be successful.
So, I’m here to help you embody self-care to prevent burnout, manage secondary trauma, and become the best therapist!

faq’s-
Where are supervision sessions? Generally, we meet on Wednesdays. You can choose the morning or evening session. However, during summer months and sometimes during the holidays, we will meet 2 Saturadys a month. If you miss supervision, it will be your responsibility to notify me and rescheduled a 1:1 session based upon availability.
How do I track my hours? You will have access to an electronic tracking system to use, but are not required to to use it. If you choose not to use the tracking system, you will be required to submit your hours monthly for review.
What if I need support or emergency consultation outside of supervision? You will have the ability to contact me via text message, phone or email. -
1. What if I’m just starting and don’t have a clear vision for my practice yet?
No worries! Practice by Design is a masterclass designed to help you uncover your unique vision, from aligning with your core values to shaping a practice that fits your life. Through guided exercises, personal reflection, and hands-on workshops, you’ll gain clarity on what you want your practice to look and feel like.
2. Will I have a concrete plan to launch my practice by the end of the retreat?
Absolutely! By the end of the masterclass, you’ll have a tailored roadmap, including key steps for intake, scheduling, pricing, and messaging. Each session builds on the last, giving you actionable takeaways so you can leave with a clear launch plan.
3. I’m already established but feeling burnt out. Is this retreat still for me?
Yes, 100%. This masterclass is perfect if you want to reset and rebuild your practice around your own energy, needs, and lifestyle. You’ll learn tools for resilience and create a structure that brings balance back into your life, without compromising on your purpose.
4. What does “Human Design” mean, and how will it help my practice?
Human Design is a system that combines ancient wisdom, modern science and divine spirit to be used as a tool of self-discovery.. Think Myers Briggs, Enneagram, or any personality measure meets Charkas & Astrology on steroids. HD teaches you how to deprogram/break up from society's norms/rules & regulations. Instead, it teaches you how to live by your own unique gifts/talents. This is kinda like your personalized instruction manual to your life, which was already a part of you. By exploring your Human Design, you’ll gain insights into the best ways to manage your energy, set boundaries, and connect with clients authentically, helping you build a practice that works for you.
5. Is financial planning covered?
Yes, we’ll dive into financial clarity so you feel confident and in control. You’ll learn practical steps for budgeting, setting rates, and creating financial goals that support your life and your vision, making the money side of your practice feel less stressful and more empowering. Remember, I am NOT a financial advisor.
6. How much time will be spent on individual work versus group activities?
This masterclass is a mix of individual reflection and group interaction. You’ll have solo exercises to work on personal insights and planning, balanced with group discussions, peer support, and nature-based activities to help you connect and recharge.
