Who this page is for

For therapists looking for a supervised practice setting.

Willow & Arbor may be a good fit for associate-level therapists who want to build clinical experience in a setting that values supervision, transparency, and thoughtful care.

This isn't a high-volume platform, a vague referral list, or a place where therapists are expected to work without clinical support. Willow & Arbor is a small supervised practice where the care structure matters.

The practice serves children, teens, adults, couples, and families in Johnson City, TN and through telehealth across Tennessee when appropriate.

Supervised practice. Therapists work within a clinical structure, not in isolation.

Clear expectations. The model depends on communication, accountability, and honest scope of practice.

Accessible care. The practice is built to make therapy more reachable while preserving clinical seriousness.

The practice model

Accessible therapy should still have clinical responsibility.

Willow & Arbor exists to offer therapy that's easier to begin without becoming anonymous, rushed, or disconnected from supervision.

Named therapists

Clients should know who they're seeing, what that therapist works with, and how the care structure is organized.

Clinical supervision

Associate-level therapists practice under the direct clinical supervision of Dr. Katherine Barteck, Licensed Psychologist and Clinical Director of Willow & Arbor.

Transparent fees

Fees are listed clearly so clients understand the financial part before therapy begins.

Appropriate care

The consultation process helps clarify whether Willow & Arbor, a specific therapist, and a specific service format make sense for the person reaching out.

What we look for

Good fit matters on both sides.

We're not looking for therapists who want to sound impressive online. We're looking for therapists who want to keep learning, stay accountable, and work carefully with real people.

Openness to supervision

Supervision isn't treated as a formality. It's part of how clinical judgment develops and how care stays accountable.

Clear communication

Therapists need to communicate clearly with clients, with the practice, and within the supervision structure.

Respect for scope

Good care includes knowing what you can work with, when consultation is needed, and when a different level or type of support may be more appropriate.

Comfort with different clients

The practice serves children, teens, adults, couples, families, LGBTQIA+ clients, and people carrying different kinds of emotional and relational strain.

Clinical humility

Therapy requires skill, but it also requires the ability to slow down, listen closely, and stay curious when the first explanation isn't enough.

Steady professionalism

Clients should experience the practice as warm and human, but also organized, ethical, and clinically serious.

Clinical supervision

Supervision is part of the work, not a hidden detail.

Willow & Arbor therapists practice under the direct clinical supervision of Dr. Katherine Barteck. That supervision is part of the care model and part of the professional development structure for associate-level therapists.

The goal isn't to make therapists sound more experienced than they are. The goal is to support careful clinical work while therapists continue developing toward independent licensure.

For clients, that means the supervision structure is named clearly. For therapists, it means consultation, review, and clinical accountability are built into the practice.

Dr. Katherine Barteck

Licensed Psychologist · Clinical Director

Provides clinical supervision and oversight for Willow & Arbor therapists. She does not see clients through Willow & Arbor.

What this is not

Willow & Arbor isn't trying to become a therapy marketplace.

The practice is intentionally small and clinically structured. That means fit matters.

Not high-volume therapy

The practice isn't designed around seeing as many clients as possible or moving people through care as quickly as possible.

Not therapist influencer culture

Personality isn't a substitute for clinical judgment, supervision, or professionalism.

Not unsupported private practice

Associate-level therapists shouldn't have to practice as though they're already fully independent.

Not vague access language

Accessible care should still be specific about who provides therapy, how fees work, and how clinical oversight is structured.

Areas of interest

We're especially interested in therapists who can serve real needs in the community.

The exact fit depends on training, experience, supervision needs, availability, and the current needs of the practice. These areas are not a list of current openings.

Children and teens

Therapists comfortable working with young people, parents, school stress, emotional changes, identity questions, and family involvement.

Couples and families

Therapists interested in relational work, communication patterns, conflict, parenting strain, transitions, and family systems.

Trauma and grief

Therapists who can work carefully with painful experiences, loss, nervous-system strain, and the ways past experiences affect present life.

LGBTQIA+ affirming care

Therapists who can offer affirming care where identity isn't treated as the problem and client concerns are understood in context.

Anxiety, depression, and overwhelm

Therapists who can support clients dealing with mood changes, worry, shutdown, stress, life transitions, and emotional overload.

Telehealth across Tennessee

Therapists who can provide clear, ethical, appropriately structured telehealth when privacy, safety, participation, and fit make it appropriate.

How to reach out

If Willow & Arbor sounds like the kind of practice you're looking for, start with a conversation.

Reaching out doesn't mean there's an open position, a guaranteed fit, or an immediate next step. It's a way to begin a conversation about your training, interests, licensure status, supervision needs, availability, and whether the practice model may make sense.

Licensure requirements vary by credential and situation, so therapists should also rely on their licensing board's current requirements when evaluating supervision needs.

When you contact Willow & Arbor, include a brief note about where you are in your licensure process, the populations or concerns you're most interested in working with, and what kind of supervised practice setting you're looking for.
