Approved Clinical Supervisor for Licensed Professional Counselor Candidates

I am the owner of Nicole Sidebottom Counseling, LLC and a Licensed Professional Counselor in private practice in Castle Pines, CO.  I received my Master’s Degree in Counseling from Denver Seminary and have 15 years of experience working with adolescents, adults, and families. 

My theoretical approach includes a strong emphasis in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and well as DBT, client-centered, somatic experiencing, and systems approaches. I also enjoy working within the Internal Family Systems model and do EMDR to help people heal and grow. A supportive client-therapist relationship is essential, along with psychodynamic and family systems elements in treatment to enhance a client’s understanding of themselves in various areas of their lives, spanning from childhood to the present.

Supervision Background 

I have completed 45 hours in clinical supervision training through the Noeticus Approved Clinical Supervisor training module and 13 hours of continuing education regarding clinical supervision in order to continue to enhance my supervision experience. I feel passionate about working with MA-level interns and clinicians, both seasoned and recently graduated, in the hopes of helping them develop their clinical and therapeutic skills. This is balanced with meeting client needs from ethical, therapeutic, and empowerment scopes of practice. I continue to seek out opportunities to enhance the supervision experience, including yearly trainings that can further develop the supervisor-supervisee relationship.
