About Emily Hansen, RP
Emily is a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO #6593) with 12 years of experience in mental health, including 10 years as an RP. She holds a Master's degree in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy from Martin Luther University (2017). She has worked in residential treatment, day treatment, educational settings, including a mental health treatment classroom, and private practice.
Emily has provided clinical supervision since 2023, and she currently mentors other therapists as a clinical manager in private practice. In her clinical work, she describes the space she creates as "a warm, down-to-earth environment."
Qualifications: CRPO Requirements and Yorkville University Approved Supervisor
Emily is a Yorkville University approved supervisor, and she meets the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario's requirements for clinical supervisors. Those requirements include being registered in good standing with a regulatory college whose members may practise psychotherapy, five years' extensive clinical experience practicing psychotherapy, meeting CRPO's independent practice requirement, completing 30 hours of directed learning in providing clinical supervision, and completing CRPO's learning module on clinical supervision (College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario [CRPO], n.d.).
Emily's clinical supervision training includes:
Certificate in Management and Leadership, Wilfrid Laurier University Faculty of Social Work: 90 hours of learning in leadership, 42 of which are directed learning in supervision and conflict management
Reigniting Clinical Supervision with Daryl Chow: a six-month course on multidisciplinary approaches to growth, development and supervision (13 hours total)

Specialties and Evidence-Based Approaches
Emily's clinical specialties include trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, chronic pain and illness, OCD and phobias. She works with cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and exposure and response prevention (ERP). Her published profiles also list trauma-informed, narrative, attachment-based and play therapy informed approaches.
Several of these approaches have strong research behind them. ERP has been formally recognized as a first-line, evidence-based treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (Law & Boisseau, 2019). For post-traumatic stress disorder, the World Health Organization (2013) recommends trauma-focused CBT and EMDR for children, adolescents and adults.
Knowing an approach is supported by research is one thing. Delivering it well with the client in front of you is another, and that is where clinical supervision earns its place.
Child and Youth Supervision and Less Common Presentations
Some presentations show up rarely in a typical caseload, which makes them harder to prepare for. Emily has experience with several of them, including selective mutism, derealization, learning differences and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID).
She also has experience with significant dysregulation in children, including suicidality and self-harm in children and pre-teens. If you're working with younger clients and want a supervisor who has been there, Emily is a strong place to start.
Working with children is a particular focus for Emily. She works with children as young as five in a playful setting and, where possible, gives parents practical strategies to use between sessions. She also offers neurodivergence-affirming therapy for clients of all ages with ADHD, autism and other neurodivergence, with a focus on self-acceptance and individual strengths.
Weekly Group Clinical Supervision with Emily: Starting January 2027
Emily's two supervision groups start the week of January 11, 2027 and run weekly. Each group meets virtually for two hours, with up to eight supervisees, so the hours count toward your CRPO group supervision requirement.
Complex Child and Youth Presentations: Group Clinical Supervision
When: Mondays, 9:00 to 11:00 AM (Eastern Time), weekly, starting January 11, 2027
Who it's for: Therapists working with children, pre-teens and youth, including dysregulation, suicidality and self-harm, selective mutism, ARFID and neurodivergence
Group size: Up to eight supervisees
Cost: $95 per supervisee per 2-hour session
CBT, DBT and ERP for Anxiety, Depression and OCD: Group Clinical Supervision
When: Tuesdays, 9:00 to 11:00 AM (Eastern Time), weekly, starting January 12, 2027
Who it's for: Therapists using cognitive behavioural approaches with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, phobias, suicidality and self-harm
Group size: Up to eight supervisees
Cost: $95 per supervisee per 2-hour session
Emily is also interested in future groups focused on ADHD across all ages and approaches, and on trauma, using a range of approaches, mainly CBT, DBT and EFT. If one of these topics would help your practice, mention it when you book your consultation. Interest from supervisees helps decide which groups launch next.
Individual and Dyadic Supervision with Emily
Emily also offers individual and dyadic supervision on Mondays and Tuesdays, including dyadic sessions from 11:00 to 11:55 AM (Eastern Time) right after her groups.
Individual: Emily and one supervisee, $185 per session
Dyadic: Emily and two supervisees, $95 per supervisee
Group: Emily and up to eight supervisees, $95 per supervisee for a 2-hour session

How Individual, Dyadic and Group Supervision Count Toward Your CRPO Hours
CRPO defines clinical supervision as a contractual relationship in which a clinical supervisor engages with a supervisee, and it recognizes three formats: individual, dyadic and group (CRPO, n.d.). Emily offers all three through OntarioSupervision.ca.
The format you choose matters for your CRPO hours. RP (Qualifying) registrants need 100 clinical supervision hours and 450 direct client contact hours to transfer to the Registered Psychotherapist category. At least 50 per cent of those supervision hours must be individual or dyadic, and the rest may be group supervision (CRPO, n.d.).
Registered Psychotherapists continue with supervision until they complete 1,000 direct client contact hours and 150 hours of clinical supervision, with at least half of the required supervision hours in an individual or dyadic format (CRPO, n.d.). CRPO also only accepts group supervision hours from groups of eight or fewer supervisees (CRPO, n.d.), which is why our groups cap at eight.
Not sure where you stand? Use our free CRPO Supervision Hours Calculator and CRPO DCC Hours Tracker to check your progress toward the 450 and 1,000-hour milestones.
Many supervisees combine formats. For example, you could pair a weekly group with Emily with individual or dyadic sessions, which gives you focused time on your own cases while group supervision adds more perspectives at a lower cost per hour.
Getting to Know Emily
