Group Clinical Supervision
rooted in identity, culture & care
A professionally enriching space for early-career and post-licensed mental health counselors to deepen clinical skill, process complex cases, and grow alongside peers — in community
Why group supervision?
Clinical supervision doesn't have to be isolating. Group supervision creates something individual sessions often cannot: the living, breathing wisdom of a room full of clinicians working through similar challenges together.
When you sit with colleagues who understand the weight of the work — the vicarious trauma, the cultural navigation, the documentation demands — something shifts.
You stop feeling alone in the hardest moments.
At GroundingHearts, group supervision is held within a framework of psychological safety, cultural humility, and intersectional awareness. This is a space where your full identity is welcomed — not just your clinical role.
Who this is for?
This offering is designed for post-licensed mental health counselors — particularly those in the early years of practice — who are seeking LMHC-qualifying supervision hours or professional support as they navigate the complexities of independent clinical work.
​
Supervisees who are BIPOC, LGBTQIAS2+, or ENM-affirming clinicians will find an environment built with their wholeness in mind.

BIPOC & Culturally Marginalized Clinicians
Mental health professionals who want a supervision space that centers cultural identity and cultural healing methodologies, decolonial stance, examines systemic dynamics, and doesn't require them to code-switch to be understood.

Your supervisor, Viergelyn
Viergelyn Chery-Reed (s/h/th) is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over twelve years of clinical experience spanning individual psychotherapy, couples therapy, adjunct treatment, and intensive sessions.
She founded GroundingHearts, Inc. in 2014 and has specialized throughout her career in complex trauma, dissociation, personality patterns, and integrative mind-body approaches.
​
Her clinical lens is deeply informed by her own intersecting identities and by a career spent working at the margins where trauma, culture, and systemic inequality converge. She brings that same lens to supervision: a space where your identity isn't a footnote, it's central.
She also owns Sacred Aura & Company, a professional life coaching, spiritual, and wellness practice, as well as the reiki-infused brand Spark Essentials.
​
She is the founder and executive director of Four Waters Rising, a non-profit in Boston, Massachusetts that offers collective healing circles, workshops, and community collaborations.
