Clinical Supervision & Practice Consulting for Mental Health Providers

Whether you’re building a practice, deepening your clinical skills, or trying to make a program work better, we’ve done it, and we’re here to help.

Running a mental health practice is its own particular challenge. The clinical work is one thing, and it’s the part most of us trained for. But the business side, the supervision responsibilities, the treatment program design, the compliance headaches, the telehealth pivot, the policies that never quite get finished, that’s a different skill set entirely.

Dr. Jon Weingarden brings both. As the founder and owner of WPS and a former Senior Program Director at UPMC’s Western Psychiatric Hospital, where he oversaw clinical programming, treatment teams, and staff development, he understands what it takes to build and run a mental health practice at every level.

WPS offers consultation services to individual clinicians, group practices, and healthcare organizations. Whether you need clinical supervision hours, help launching or restructuring a practice, guidance on developing a treatment program, or support integrating telehealth, we’re available to work with you in Pittsburgh and nationwide.

Who This Is For

Our consultation and supervision services are designed for:

• Licensed therapists, counselors, and psychologists seeking clinical supervision hours toward licensure or ongoing professional development

• Private practice owners who want to improve how their practice runs, from workflows to culture to sustainability

Supervision and consultation are available both in-person in Pittsburgh and remotely, which means we work with providers across Pennsylvania and nationwide.

Clinical Supervision

Supervision Hours for Licensure & Professional Development

Clinical supervision is one of the most important, and most undervalued, parts of a clinician’s development. Good supervision doesn’t just check a box for hours. It sharpens your clinical thinking, helps you hold complexity with confidence, and gives you a trusted space to sit with the cases that keep you up at night.

Dr. Weingarden and other therapists provide individual and group clinical supervision for therapists, counselors, and other mental health providers, drawing from his extensive background in evidence-based treatment, complex case management, and clinical program leadership.

Supervision may include:

• Case review and clinical guidance for individual clients or complex presentations

• Evidence-based treatment frameworks including CBT, DBT, IPSRT, and interpersonal approaches

• Specialty consultation in bipolar disorder, eating disorders, emotion dysregulation, and trauma

• Support for clinicians navigating ethically complex or high-risk situations

• Professional development and career guidance for early-career clinicians

• LPC-track supervision including individual and couples counseling

Availability:

Supervision is available in-person in Pittsburgh and via telehealth, making it accessible to clinicians across Pennsylvania and throughout the country.

Supervision fees and scheduling are discussed directly. Please reach out to confirm availability and rates for your specific supervision needs.

Practice Management Consulting

Your Practice as an Extension of Your Clinical Identity

There’s something worth taking seriously in the idea that the way a clinician runs their practice is, in many ways, a reflection of who they are as a clinician. The values you hold in the therapy room, clarity, trust, person-first thinking, attention to what’s not being said, can and should show up in how your practice operates.

Dr. Weingarden works with practice owners at every stage, from those just starting out to those looking to reshape or scale an established practice, on the operational and strategic questions that tend to get pushed to the back burner until they become a real problem.

Practice management consulting may cover:

• Workflow design and patient flow: from first inquiry through intake, scheduling, and ongoing care

• Practice identity and positioning: clarifying what makes your practice distinct and who you serve best

• Staffing structures and clinical team culture

• Revenue cycle basics and sustainability planning for independent and group practices

• Navigating the transition from solo practice to group, or from group to multi-site

• Burnout prevention and sustainable clinical workload

Treatment Program Development

Building or Improving Clinical Programs That Work

Developing a treatment program, whether for a hospital unit, a group practice specialty, or a community behavioral health setting, requires a particular combination of clinical depth, operational thinking, and the ability to translate evidence-based research into practical, workable protocols.

Dr. Weingarden has done exactly this. During his time as Senior Program Director at UPMC’s Western Psychiatric Hospital, he developed and updated clinical programs including DBT-based treatment for eating disorders, a group therapy program rooted in Focal Dynamic Therapy, and a CBT treatment manual for Anorexia and ARFID. That experience translates directly into meaningful consultation for organizations looking to strengthen or build clinical programming.

Program development consulting may include:

• Clinical program design for specific populations or conditions

• Adapting evidence-based protocols for real-world clinical settings

• Staff training and clinical competency development

• Outcome measurement and quality improvement frameworks

• Program evaluation and restructuring for existing clinical services

Training & Professional Development

WPS offers training sessions and workshops for clinical teams and organizations on a range of psychological topics, evidence-based interventions, and practice-related skills. Training is tailored to your team’s needs and can be delivered in-person in the Pittsburgh area or remotely.

Training topics may include:

• DBT skills and application for clinical teams

• Bipolar disorder: evidence-based approaches and clinical management

• Eating disorder treatment frameworks including ARFID

• Trauma-informed care and clinical approaches to PTSD

• Motivational interviewing and working with ambivalence

• Ethics, documentation, and risk management for mental health providers

Custom training topics are available based on your organization’s clinical focus and priorities. Contact us to discuss what your team needs.

Policy Development & Compliance Support

Clinical policies exist at the intersection of ethics, liability, and the day-to-day realities of how a practice actually runs. Too often, policies are created reactively, after a problem, rather than before one. We help practices build clear, practical policies that actually reflect how care is delivered, keep staff accountable, and hold up under scrutiny.

Policy development support may cover:

• Clinical documentation and record-keeping standards

• Informed consent, confidentiality, and HIPAA compliance

• Crisis response and safety planning protocols

• Telehealth policies and cross-state practice guidelines

• Ethical standards and professional conduct policies

• Supervision documentation and oversight requirements

Why Consult With Weingarden Psychological Services?

There’s no shortage of consultants. What’s rarer is a consultant who has actually built and run what they’re consulting on, who has been both the clinician and the administrator, the program designer and the supervising provider, the practice owner and the one doing the clinical work.

Dr. Jon Weingarden, PsyD, is the founder of Weingarden Psychological Services and a former Senior Program Director at UPMC’s Western Psychiatric Hospital, where he oversaw inpatient clinical programming, treatment team management, and staff development. He holds specialized training in IPSRT (under Dr. Ellen Frank), DBT, and evidence-based eating disorder treatment. He has been providing clinical supervision and consultation throughout his career.

WPS consultation is practical, experience-based, and direct. We don’t offer generic frameworks. We work with you on the specific challenges your practice or program is actually facing.
