O'Malley Supervision is clinical supervision for pre-licensed counselors (LPCCs) working toward Colorado LPC licensure. If you're accruing your hours and want a supervisor who takes your growth seriously and won't drain your bank account, you're in the right place.
Your supervision is led by a counselor educator with a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision. This is not someone supervising on the side. Training counselors is the work.
No monthly contract, no locked-in package. Pay a one-time enrollment fee, then book individual sessions when you need them and join group when it helps. Slow month? Pay less. It's that simple.
You earn your hours, you keep them. We document everything as we go and sign off promptly, and if you ever move on, your hours go with you, no games, no holding them hostage.
Supervision here is ACT-informed and evidence-based, and it treats you like the capable clinician you're becoming. You'll leave more confident, not just more credentialed.
A Note from Dr. O'Malley
DIGNITY FIRST.
Nothing hidden.
Hi, I'm John O'Malley. For over 10 years, I've been a counselor educator, and I still consider it a privilege to help new counselors find their footing.
The thing I'm most grateful for is that I never left the clinical work. I'm not writing to you from a safe academic distance; I'm still in the chair. These days I work mostly with couples and see a few individuals through insurance, so when I supervise you toward your Colorado LPC, it's not theory. It's the work I'm still doing, offered alongside you.
I remember how these two years feel. A little broke, a lot tired, hoping the person signing your hours sees you as a colleague, not a checkbox. That's the kind of clinical supervision I try to offer here: genuinely good, honestly affordable, and respectful of the capable clinician you already are. Whatever population you're building your hours with- individuals, couples, anyone- you're welcome.
If that sounds like the supervisor you've been hoping for, I'd be glad to hear from you. Fill out the interest form below and tell me a little about where you are. No pressure, and no wrong answers.

What supervision Looks Like in Practice
THREE EXAMPLES
Everyone's road to licensure looks a little different. Some people are sprinting toward their own practice, some are logging hours at an agency, and some are building slowly around the rest of their lives. Here are three paths that might sound like yours, with real numbers, so you can see what this could actually look like for you.
The Fast-Track Grad
A new graduate opening her own practice in Denver. Total invested: about $6,500.
She finished her degree ready to build something of her own, and she didn't want two years of supervision to drain her savings before she even opened her doors. So she maxed her group hours to keep costs down and moved at a full pace.
Two individual sessions and two Wednesday groups a month, right on track for her 50 individual and 50 group hours. She'll finish in twenty-four months, the soonest Colorado allows, with her paperwork ready the day she's eligible.
Fast, affordable, and licensed on time.
The Agency Clinician
Devon. Building his hours at a community agency in Lakewood. Total invested: about $7,250.
Devon already had a full caseload at his agency. What he needed was a qualified supervisor to guide the hard cases and sign his hours, someone who'd treat him like a colleague, not a formality.
He leaned a little heavier on individual supervision, sixty individual hours to forty group, because he wanted real depth on his toughest clients. The rest he filled with the Wednesday group.
Still a fraction of what outside supervision usually costs, and exactly the support he was missing.
The Steady Pace
Growing a caseload part-time while life happens. Total invested: about $6,500, spread over three years.
Sam wasn't in a rush. Building a practice slowly, around family and a part-time schedule, meant supervision had to be flexible and gentle on the budget.
Because hours track to client hours and not the calendar, Sam spread the same requirements over about three years without paying a dollar more. Booking individual sessions here and there, dropping into group when it fit, and paying only for what was used, some months almost nothing.
The same destination, at a pace that fit a real life.
FAQ about Colorado Clinical Supervision with dr o'Malley with OMalley Counseling PLLC
How many hours of supervision do I need for my Colorado LPC?
Colorado requires 100 hours of face-to-face clinical supervision across your 2,000 supervised hours, at least 50 individual and up to 50 group. Supervision can be in person or through telesupervision. We track your hours as you go so nothing falls through the cracks.
How much does clinical supervision cost?
There's no monthly fee and no contract. You pay a one-time $250 enrollment fee, then $100 per individual session and $25 per group session. Most people complete all their required hours for around $6,500 over two years, compared to $15,000 or more at the typical individual rate in Colorado. If cost is a barrier, ask about our scholarship seats.
Can supervision be done online?
Yes. Colorado allows telesupervision, and our weekly group meets online every Wednesday. Individual sessions can be in person or online, whatever works best for you.
Who qualifies to supervise LPC candidates in Colorado?
Your supervisor must meet the state's approved-supervisor requirements. Dr. O'Malley holds a PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, which fully satisfies Colorado's supervisor qualifications, and he has fifteen years as a counselor educator while continuing his own clinical practice.
What kind of clients can you supervise me with?
Whatever population you're building your hours with, individuals, couples, families, children and adolescents, or groups. Dr. O'Malley works clinically across populations and can supervise you wherever your caseload takes you.
Do I have to commit to a monthly package?
No. You enroll once and then book supervision as you need it. Some months you'll do more, some less. You only pay for the supervision you actually use.
How long does the supervision process take?
Colorado requires a minimum of 24 months of supervised practice, so no one licenses faster than two years. If you're building your caseload part-time, you can spread your hours over a longer period without paying any more in total.
What if I'm still in school or just starting out?
That's a great time to reach out. We can talk through your timeline, what to expect, and how to set yourself up well before you even begin accruing hours. Reaching out doesn't commit you to anything.
