The practicums have definitely helped in some of the shaping towards the direction I think I would like to take in the diverse world of recreation.

Fortunately, my first practicum supervisor utilized various supervision models while supervising me. She utilized the psychodynamic approach by providing me with numerous resources to help me learn skills, yet she provided me with enough autonomy to learn on my own.

As a new clinician, I appreciated feeling as if she was an expert and I trusted she was providing me with excellent teachings. My…
