Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this pilot study is to test a Supervision Assist App (SuperAssist) for implementing Client-Centered Supervision (CCS) to improve supervision practices for mental health providers (providers). During previous Aims 1 and 2, a SuperAssist beta version was designed and developed before beta testing of SuperAssist with providers and supervisors. During this pilot randomized controlled trial (Aim 3), the investigators will evaluate the feasibility, preliminary outcomes, and change mechanisms of SuperAssist.
