Description of the services as a supervisor, mentor, and/or training site I have supervised consulting psychologists for most of my 30 year career, both inside and outside of my firm, Nordli, Wilson Associates. I provide supervision on an hourly basis, in person or by phone. My degree was in Clinical Psychology, and is reflected in my approaches to consulting as well as to supervision, as is evident from my writing, most notably my book, Psychological Consulting to Management: A Clinician's Perspective (1990) and the various articles I have written for the Consulting Psychology Journal.
Formal degrees attained Doctorate in Psychology
